pulselessness1822

1822 J. M. Good Study Med. III. 390 The acrotism, or want of pulsation, extended over the entire frame with the exception of the heart, which pulsated violently.

1832 Boston Med. & Surg. Jrnl. 24 Oct. 168 The accession of this acrotism has generally been regarded as the attack of the cholera; but it is evidently only a continued catenation of morbid action—a diseased action of the vascular system.

1884 H. A. Allbutt tr. A. Burggraeve New Handbk. Dosimetric Therapeutics (ed. 3) 141 In acrotism, there is suspension or momentary interruption of the movements of the heart.
