Abstract
That an ice bag applied continuously may cause local tissue necrosis is not appreciated
by physicians. The common use of the ice bag in the treatment of deep seated inflammation
of the active type makes the possibility of burn from it of more than academic interest.
The way in which local cold causes necrosis is discussed. The proper application of
an icebag, to prevent burn, with one or more thicknesses of cloth between it and the
skin to keep the skin at all times dry is explained. The necessity for slow warming
of tissue after exposure to cold is noted.
