Insufflation

A moment later there was a soft, almost inaudible insufflation; the door stirred and moved outward perhaps six inches, then stopped. ❋ Unknown (2010)

And still Ehomba continued his unnatural insufflation, until the last of the blackness had vanished, drawn deep down within himself. ❋ Foster, Alan Dean, 1946- (2000)

Where the Gloss is, If those plagues come by the insufflation of the devil, which do not defile the man. ❋ 1602-1675 (1979)

Where the Gloss again hath it; "Those plagues which are inflicted by the insufflation of the devil, not by the hands of men." ❋ 1602-1675 (1979)

The first applications that he attempted related to the use of electricity in surgery, a wonderfully fecund branch, but one whose importance was scarcely suspected, notwithstanding the results already obtained through the application of the insufflation pile to galvano-cautery. ❋ Various (N/A)

In addition to this capital defect, it is regrettable that it is necessary to shake the flask that contains the solution after every insufflation of air, and also that the play of the valves soon becomes imperfect. ❋ Various (N/A)

During the baptismal service the Satanic hosts, as originators of sin, vice, and maladies, were expelled by insufflation of the officiating clergyman, the sign of the cross, and the invocation of the Triune Deity. ❋ George Barton Cutten (N/A)

The pipes are of three kinds: (1) a simple valved insufflation tube or "blow-pipe," by means of which the performer fills the bag reservoir; (2) the "chaunter" ❋ Various (N/A)

The insufflation tube appears to have been left out, and there are no drones to be seen. ❋ Various (N/A)

Had he found the true church all of a sudden in winding up to the end like a reel of cotton some fine-spun line of reasoning upon insufflation on the imposition of hands or the procession of the Holy Ghost? ❋ Joyce, James, 1882-1941 (1922)

Contestio (Preface), the infusion of chrism in the form of a cross with a triple insufflation, and an exorcism, which here is in an unusual place. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)

Bronchoscopic oxygen insufflation is a life-saving measure equalled by no other method known to the science of medicine, in all cases of asphyxia, or apnea, present or impending. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

In case of paralysis of the larynx, even if only monolateral, a general anesthetic if needed should be given by intratracheal insufflation. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

This degree of relaxation is of course, present in profound general ether anesthesia, which is not to be thought of for direct laryngoscopy, except when it is used for the purpose of insertion of intratracheal insufflation anesthetic tubes. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

When localization by means of transparent films, fluoroscopy, and endobronchial bismuth insufflation has failed, the question arises as to the advisability of endoscopic excision of the tissue intervening between the foreign body and bronchoscope with the aid of two fluoroscopes, one for the lateral and the other the vertical plane. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Sudden respiratory arrest might occur, from pathology or foreign body, necessitating the inserting of the bronchoscope for breathing purposes, and the insufflation of oxygen and amyl nitrite. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

_Lung-mapping_ by a roentgenogram taken promptly after the bronchoscopic insufflation of bismuth subnitrate powder or the injection of a suspension of bismuth in liquid petrolatum is advisable in most cases of pulmonary abscess before beginning any kind of treatment. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

By means of the silk-woven catheter introduced into the trachea, ether-laden air from an insufflation apparatus is piped down to the lungs continuously, and the strong return-flow prevents blood and secretions from entering the lower air-passages. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
