Laborit and Huguenard are the creators of a new anesthesiolo gy: artificial hibernation by means of potentializated anesthesia and histic refrigeration. With this method, interventions can be realized which, by other means, would have lamentable results for the patient. With hibernation, it is possible to avoid disorders of the neuro végétative system and neuro-vascular-humoral disequilibrium which are provoked by the surgical trauma and favoured by the complete disconnection which deep general anesthesia creates. Hibernation does not disconnect; it places the organism in a state of «minimum reaction». By this means, shock is avoided and progressive recuperation of the organism permitted. We shall not go into details here, because this has been the subject of a recent publication by the same author. We
