A1182	Contributions to Regional Infiltration Anesthesia by Alberto Gutierrez
	J. Antonio Aldrete, M.D., M.S., Osvaldo A. Auad, M.D., Vicente T. Gutierrez, M.D., A. J. Wright, M.L.S.
	Alberto Gutierrez known for the “Hanging Drop” method in epidural anesthesia, made contributions to regional anesthesia, publishing techniques for eight different operations, the addition of vasopressin to novocaine and his own device to rapidly infiltrate large volumes of local anesthesia, under sterile conditions.

A1183	Dr. Henry Beecher Blazed a Trail in Patients' Safety
	Ike Eriator, M.D., M.P.H., Brad Ramsey, M.D., Wanda Keahey, Pharm.D., M.P.H.
	A stellar example as an advocate for patient's safety, Dr. Henry K. Beecher (1904 – 1976), not only presented us with the placebo effect, he was instrumental in procuring the rights and privileges that human subjects are guaranteed in clinical investigations.	View: • Abstract
A1184	Anesthesiology Transforms an Ancient Painful Ritualistic Technique into a Surgical Procedure
	Michael C. Lewis, M.D., Christopher Gallagher, M.D., Roger Marks, M.D., Gilbert Chidiac, M.D., David Birnbach, M.D.
	Circumcision has been performed without any anesthesia for more than a thousand years and the practice still continues in many parts of the world. Contemporary anesthetic techniques have possibly made this ancient procedure more acceptable in a modern social and surgical environment.	View: • Abstract
A1185	The Role of World War II Portable Surgical Hospitals in the Development of Anesthesiology as a Physician Specialty in the United States
	David B. Waisel, M.D.
	This study examines the adequacy of anesthesia care in the portable surgical hospitals in the North Africa Theater of Operations (NATO). Data do not support the putative argument that physician-anesthetists from the NATO portable surgical hospitals were inadequate.	View: • Abstract
A1186	Historical Firsts: The Total Isolation, Transplantation and Hypothermic Preservation of the Mammalian Brain
	Maurice S. Albin, M.D., M.Sc., Robert J. White, M.D., Ph.D., Javier Verdura, M.D.
	On Jan 17, 1962, for the first time, the mammalian brain (monkey) demonstrated sustained viability after total isolation and perfusion by a donor monkey. On June 3, 1964, the canine brain was isolated and then transplanted into the neck of a recipient canine showing a high level of sustained EEG activity.	View: • Abstract
A1187	Characteristics of an Early Anesthesia Practice: Dr. Mary Botsford of San Francisco, 1916-1937
	Selma H. Calmes, M.D.
	Papers published from 1916-1937 by a prominent physician anesthetist, her trainees and her surgeons were analyzed, and anesthesia practice during that time was documented. N 2 O-O 2 , with narcotic, local anesthesia and ether for relaxation was the most common technique. Regional anesthesia was not done by the anesthetists.	View: • Abstract
A1188	Norman R. James, England's Foremost Exponent of Regional Analgesia- 1943
	Adolph H. Giesecke, M.D.
	Dr. Norman James was an innovative academician recognized in England where he served in the London Emergency Medical Service in WW II, in Australia where he was first Director of Anaesthesia at The Royal Melbourne Hospital and in Dallas TX where he was noted for excellence in teaching.	View: • Abstract
A1189	Anesthesia and Cesarean Section. Progress in Surgery Driven by Developments in Anesthesia
	Michael C. Lewis, M.D., Jayanthie Ranasinghe, M.D., Christopher Gallagher, M.D., David Birnbach, M.D.
	Cesarean section is an ancient procedure. Because of high maternal and fetal mortality its use was limited. The advent of dependable safe anesthesia has led to the transformation of an inherently painful dangerous technique for both mother and fetus into a safe increasingly popular procedure.	View: • Abstract
A1190	Dr. Harold Griffith and the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists
	Naosuke Sugai, M.D., Ph.D., Shigemasa Ikeda, M.D.
	In 1950's Dr. Harold Griffith helped the Japanese Society of Anestheiologists join the World Federation of Anaesthesiologists which he had founded, triggered by a letter written by Dr. Michinosuke Amano of Keio University, Tokyo.	View: • Abstract
A1191	Ansel Marion Caine, MD
	Brett Winthrop, M.D., David Broussard, M.D.
	Dr. Ansel Marion Caine rose to national prominence as a founding father of organized anesthesia in the early 20th century. His contributions to our specialty in the areas of leadership, education, and invention are numerous yet his name is often forgotten in recorded history.	View: • Abstract
A1192	Why Would the Pope Have a Private Audience with Anesthesiologists?
	David P. Martin, M.D., Ph.D., James J. Delaney, Ph.D., Douglas R. Bacon, M.D.
	Almost fifty years ago, European anesthesiologists sought guidance with ethical problems concerning the relatively young fields of pain medicine and critical care. In 1957, on two separate occasions, His Holiness Pius XII met with groups of anesthesiologists in private audiences. The ethical principles articulated then are still relevant today.	View: • Abstract
A1193	A World War II Homemade Anesthesia Machine
	David B. Waisel, M.D.
	This paper describes how a World War II homemade anesthesia machine was built on a Navy ship.	View: • Abstract
