(1770-1850) in Grasmere, England, there is a portrait of Sir Humphry Davy

(1778-1829). In 1804, Wordsworth invited his young friend to his home.

Davy's works in the field of chemistry are well known. Interestingly

enough, once he wished he could be a poet. His future seemed to be

prosperous and delightful. He was highly evaluated by Robert Southey,

poet laureate. But he has chosen the way of chemist. The author found

some facts from literatures and received some information by courtesy of

the Wordsworth Trust, Centre for British Romanticism. Davy's life and his

eye drops, have very high patient satisfaction rates because patients do

not experience intraoperative pain, do not require sutures or eye

patches, and have immediate improvements in their vision.

Phacoemulsification procedures with topical anesthesia are cost-effective

for surgery departments because patients have shorter hospitalizations

and require fewer chargeable items. The perioperative nursing role is

essential to the success of phacoemulsification procedures with topical

TI - Field block for cranial surgery in World War II.

AB - During World War II, physicians with minimal training were often thrust

into the role of anesthetist. To educate these men, experts in anesthesia

taught simple, conservative, and effective anesthetic techniques, such as

the field block. Field blocks are the ideal "no frills" anesthetic

because they are low-risk procedures that require minimal equipment.

Unfortunately, many of the field blocks used during World War II are no

longer taught. We present one technique that has fallen from favor, the

field block for cranial surgery, both to educate about anesthesiology

during World War II and to provide knowledge for the practicing military

physician. The modern military anesthesiologist must be capable of

anesthetizing patients under any conditions. First response care teams

may find the technique of field block for cranial surgery useful in

providing emergency anesthesia care.

TI - [History of chloroform anesthesia]

AB - The first narcosis with chloroform was performed by James Young Simpson

on himself on November 4, 1847. The chemical substance had been first

produced in 1831 almost simultaneously in the USA by Samuel Guthrie and

in France by Eugene Soubeiran. Knowledge of the narcotic effect of

chloroform spread rapidly, but very soon reports of sudden deaths

mounted. The first fatality was a 15-year-old girl called Hannah Greener,

who died on January 28, 1848. The opponents and supporters of chloroform

were mainly at odds with the question of whether the complications were

solely due to respiratory disturbance or whether chloroform had a

specific effect on the heart. Between 1864 and 1910 numerous commissions

in UK studied chloroform, but failed to come to any clear conclusions. It

was only in 1911 that Levy proved in experiments with animals that

chloroform can cause cardiac fibrillation. The reservations about

chloroform could not halt its soaring popularity. Between about 1865 and

1920, chloroform was used in 80 to 95% of all narcoses performed in UK

and German-speaking countries. In America, however, there was less

enthusiasm for chloroform narcosis. In Germany the first comprehensive

surveys of the fatality rate during anaesthesia were made by Gurlt

between 1890 and 1897. In 1934, Killian gathered all the statistics

compiled until then and found that the chances of suffering fatal

complications under ether were between 1: 14,000 and 1: 28,000, whereas

under chloroform the chances were between 1: 3,000 and 1: 6,000. The rise

of gas anaesthesia using nitrous oxide, improved equipment for

administering anaesthetics and the discovery of hexobarbital in 1932 led

to the gradual decline of chloroform narcosis. In 1947, Ralph Waters

attempted to reactivate chloroform, but failed. Possibly as a result of

these efforts, however, chloroform played a role in American publications

longer than elsewhere. The story of the clinical use of chloroform ended

in 1976 with the second edition of V. J. Collins' textbook.

RF - REVIEW ARTICLE: 43 REFS.

AB - The first endoscope was conceived as early as 1806. Since then successive

technical advances led endoscopy of the nose and paranasal sinuses to a

routine procedure. From the rediscovery of the rigid telescopes by

Hopkins in the fifties, progress has stemmed essentially from the quality

of the more powerful cold lights and the improvement in the light output

of the fiber optics. Exam procedures of the nose and sinuses are

conducted under general as well as local anesthesia, and are commonly

combined with concomitant diagnostic procedures: measure of the

mucociliary clearance with indicators, biopsies, smear sampling for

bacterial and fungal examinations, and sinusomanometry which can help to

estimate the patency of the maxillary ostium and of the nasofrontal duct.

Sinus endoscopy has been widely used to correlate efficiency of other

diagnostic techniques such as plain X-rays, CT scanners, A and B mode

ultrasonography. A similar work should be done for MRI. Endoscopic

exploration is the key to the management of chronic pathology as it

brings precise information on the quality of the naso-sinus mucosa, the

presence of secretions and, combined with sinusomanometry, the functional

state of the ostia or ducts.

TI - [Professor Fritz Lotsch--a wrongfully forgotten German pioneer in

anesthesia]

AB - Like many of the contributors to the early development of anaesthesia in

Germany. Prof. Fritz Lotsch (1879-1958) was a surgeon. His acknowledged

clinical teachers were Habs. Magdeburg, (1904-1907) in surgery and Benda,

Berlin, (1909-1911) in pathology. Lotsch worked at the famous Charite in

Berlin under Hildebrand (1908-1909 and 1911-1924) and later as chief

surgeon in Burg (1925-1946) and Magdeburg (1946-1952). Lotsch's main

contributions to anaesthesia were the development of devices for the

administration of inhalation anaesthesia. In cooperation with the Georg

Haertel Company he recommended as early as 1910 a "positive pressure

anaesthesia apparatus". He improved this device and demonstrated

repeatedly the advantages of the Kuhn principle of endotracheal

intubation. As early as 1903 Lotsch reported on clinical experience with

the recently developed barbiturate "Veronal". Later he reported on

advantages and disadvantages of combined anaesthesia using inhalation

anaesthetics, opiates and barbiturates. In 1913 he recommended a special

double cannula for intravenous infusion purposes which was only

rediscovered decades later.

complications, and presents some of the ethical dilemmas inherent in the

AB - From its introduction in 1847, chloroform proved to be a potent

anaesthetic agent and over the next 50 yr its use became widespread.

However, in 1912 the Committee on Anaesthesia of the American Medical

Association stated that they were concerned with the occurrence of

delayed chloroform poisoning in a number of cases. This conclusion was

based on case reports and experimental animal data. However, subsequent

studies and reported series of chloroform anaesthesia in humans have

suggested a lower incidence of clinically significant liver injury. In

this article we have investigated this discrepancy by analysing the

published clinical data relating chloroform anaesthesia to liver damage.

TI - Hysterectomy: a historical perspective.

AB - In the relatively long history of man, surgery has been a comparatively

recent development; the abdomen was first deliberately opened to remove

an ovarian cyst by Ephraim McDowell in Kentucky in 1809. The first

abdominal hysterectomy was performed by Charles Clay in Manchester,

England in 1843; unfortunately the diagnosis was wrong and the patient

died in the immediate post-operative period. The following year, Charles

Clay was almost the first to claim a surviving patient, however she died

post-operatively and it was not until 1853 that Ellis Burnham from

Lowell, Massachusetts achieved the first successful abdominal

hysterectomy although again the diagnosis was wrong. Vaginal hysterectomy

dates back to ancient times. The procedure was performed by Soranus of

Ephesus 120 years after the birth of Christ, and the many reports of its

use in the middle ages were nearly always for the extirpation of an

inverted uterus and the patients rarely survived. The early

hysterectomies were fraught with hazard and the patients usually died of

haemorrhage, peritonitis, and exhaustion. Early procedures were performed

without anaesthesia with a mortality of about 70%, mainly due to sepsis

from leaving a long ligature to encourage the drainage of pus. Thomas

Keith from Scotland realized the danger of this practice and merely

cauterized the cervical stump and allowed it to fall internally, thereby

bringing the mortality down to about 8%. Hysterectomy became safer with

the introduction of anaesthesia, antibiotics and antisepsis, blood

transfusions and intravenous therapy. During the 1930s, Richardson

introduced the total abdominal hysterectomy to avoid serosanguineous

discharge from the cervical remnant and the risk of cervical carcinoma

developing in the stump. Apart from this innovation, and the transverse

incision introduced by Johanns Pfannenstiel in the 1920s, there was

little advance in hysterectomy techniques until the advent of endoscopic

surgery and the performance of the first laparoscopic hysterectomy by

Harry Reich in Kingston, Pennsylvania in 1988. The refinement and

increasing safety of laparoscopic hysterectomy suggests that it will be

used increasingly in the future, although developments in pharmacology

and photodynamic therapy and interventional radiology may reduce the

traditional indications for the operation.

currently popular techniques are described in this article. Also

discussed is the balance between individual patient responses to drugs,

dosages, and rate of administration. Currently used definitions of

pharmacologic depression of consciousness are detailed, as are

contemporaneous training requirements. Finally, unexpected, rare, and

catastrophic events that can occur with sedation are briefly discussed.

TI - Emery A. Rovenstine and regional anesthesia.

AB - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Emery Andrew Rovenstine was a dominant figure

in anesthesiology in the United States between 1935 and 1960. Among his

many contributions to the specialty, his regional anesthesia practice

remains less well known. This paper explores Rovenstine's career and his

contributions to regional anesthesia. METHODS: Original documents studied

and classified for this investigation included all of Rovenstine's

published papers and the extant documents of the original American

Society of Regional Anesthesia. Interviews with several physicians who

knew Rovenstine were conducted. Secondary source materials, including

biographies of Rovenstine, were perused. RESULTS: Rovenstine made a major

contribution to regional anesthesia through patient care, teaching, and

political action. Many of his students went on to become leaders in

anesthesiology and emphasized regional anesthesia in the second half of

the twentieth century. CONCLUSIONS: Emery A. Rovenstine did much to

popularize regional anesthesia and ensure a rightful place for its

techniques within the armamentarium of the anesthesiologist. Keeping

alive the traditions of Gaston Labat at Bellevue, Rovenstine's

contributions to regional anesthesia on all levels were considerable.

Most importantly, he ensured an enduring role for regional anesthesia

through the recurring contributions of his pupils.

AB - PURPOSE: First, to determine when, following the description of

stethoscopy by Laennec, it was used by anaesthetists in an operating room

and, second, to describe the developing possibilities for stethoscopic

monitoring. METHODS: A manual search of the medical literature based on

Index Medicus and relevant publications were obtained and analyzed.

Textbooks randomly available were also read. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:

Stethoscopy was first described early in the 20th century but was not

widely recommended for anaesthesia until the 1950s. The change in

attitude to stethoscopy during anaesthesia was probably due to

alterations in anaesthesia delivery; increasing difficulty in employing

direct human sensing. However the complexity of practice often makes

traditional stethoscopy ergonomically unsatisfactory. Substantial

research in the sensing and analysis of lung sounds support the

contention that cheap visual displays of information from suitably

designed sensors could be made available for anaesthetists. CONCLUSION:

Current advances in sensing, analysis, and display of lung sounds could

be used to create a simple and cheap device helpful for monitoring in the

operating room.

AB - The lives of Carl Koller (1857-1944), Sigmund Lustgarten (1857-1911) and

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) are characterized by several interesting

similarities. In their early achievements in medical research they were

became later victims of antisemitism. Attention is paid to their personal

TI - Laser bronchoscopy with transglottic/supraglottic ventilation to relieve

dysphonia and subglottic obstruction.

AB - Dysphonia after endotracheal intubation usually indicates a glottic

lesion but it can also herald an obstructing subglottic airway mass.

Outpatient strobovideolaryngoscopy may be anatomically extended by

transglottic videotracheobronchoscopy to achieve a thorough examination

of the proximal bronchi, trachea, subglottis, glottis, and supraglottis

in selected cases. Combining these techniques with lateral soft tissue

x-ray studies of the neck in two patients with dysphonia and stridor,

nearly identical postendotracheal intubation subglottic severely

obstructing granulation "tumors" were diagnosed. Operative subglottic

resection with a rigid ventilating laser bronchoscope combined with

transglottic/supraglottic anesthetic ventilation techniques and

contact-tip Nd-YAG laser phototherapy relieved the dysphonia and airway

obstruction simultaneously. Normal vocal quality and full anatomical

airway patency were achieved in both cases. Follow-up postoperative vocal

rehabilitation and medical therapy sustained the surgical results.

TI - Anesthesia for trauma during wartime.

AB - Trauma during wartime has been the scourge of the ages. Conventional

anesthesia with ether has been available since 1846 when it was

demonstrated in Boston by a dentist named William Morton. Subsequently,

ether was used during the Mexican-American War in 1847, and chloroform

was used during the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856. Nurse anesthetists

have made substantial contributions to care of the war-injured by

initiating acute airway management and resuscitation efforts and by the

administration of anesthesia care for critically injured war casualties

undergoing surgical procedures. They have further contributed to goodwill

in war-torn areas by providing anesthesia care to many civilian children

and adults living in these areas of conflict. The evolution of nurse

anesthesia contributions to the treatment of traumatized war casualties

is the central focus of this article.

physician-dentists were cautions and prudent, and on the other,

professionals with lesser qualifications such as surgeon-dentists,

healers and bloodletters were clearly and boldly in favor of the new

technique.

When sifting through old books and journals it is often difficult to

TI - [The 16th October 1846 and its outcome]

AB - Morton's first successful public demonstration of ether anaesthesia for a

surgical operation, performed on October 16, 1846 in

Boston/Massachusetts, had far-reaching consequences. The first effect was

the surprisingly fast propagation of the new way of preventing pain to

nearly all parts of the globe. Anaesthesia made it possible to perform

operations previously considered impossible under conditions now

acceptable for the patient. From the beginning, recurring side effects

and complications made it necessary to collect and report these and to

look for improvements or alternatives. This led to the development of

local and regional pain relief procedures. Much later, the special field

of anaesthesiology emerged. Today, 150 years after Morton's pioneer work,

anaesthesiology comprises not only pain relief for operative procedures

but also responsibilities in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine and in

the treatment of patients with chronic pain. Accordingly, without the

least disparagement of daily interdisciplinary cooperation, one can

wholeheartedly support Mayrhofer's view that the "Century of Surgeons"

has given way to the "Century of Anaesthesiologists".

AB - On 16 October 1996 it was 150 years since William T.G. Morton performed

the first successful demonstration of ether anaesthesia in the

Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA. Controlling the pain caused

by surgery had been a problem for a long time. In fact, many chemical

agents with pain relieving properties were recognized before they were

used in practice. Morton started systematic studies on the anaesthetic

effects of ether and convinced the medical world of the importance of

pain free operations through his demonstration of ether inhalation. The

news about ether anaesthesia spread around the world very quickly. The

first ether anaesthesia administered in Norway took place at

Rigshospitalet in Christiania on 4 March 1847. The first death from

anaesthesia in Norway occurred in 1852. This article presents some

aspects of both the Norwegian and international history of anaesthesia.

neurosurgery in Catalonia and pays well-deserved homage to this

enterprising woman, who overcame family obstacles and social prejudices

of the time to become the first female anesthesiologist in Catalonia.

of the 150th anniversary of the clinical introduction of ether]

AB - The clinical introduction of anesthesia took place on the 16th of October

1846 at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston) and William T.G. Morton,

a dentist in the city, was its discoverer. The news was made public at

the beginning of November and soon crossed the Atlantic, reaching Paris

and London, where there were acclaimed medical centers. The event was the

object of studies worldwide and still today receives the attention of

researchers. We have detected numerous inaccuracies in most accounts of

how anesthesia was introduced in Europe, motivating us to undertake the

present study to establish a new history of the first uses of ether in

European countries. We have consulted new bibliographic sources and

obtained results that are considerably different from those published by

most authors in recent years. Our analysis and discussion of the findings

allow us to establish a new chronological account of anesthesia with

ether in Europe, in which we emphasize the first studies of etherizations

performed in Belgium, Spain and Italy hitherto ignored by other authors.

TI - The copper kettle: a historical perspective.

AB - Until 1952, the administration of inhaled volatile anesthetics was

inexact because vaporizers in general use were not calibrated for either

concentration or volume of vapor produced. These devices diverted a

variable portion of fresh gas flow either through or over the liquid to

be vaporized, but they lacked vernier or fine control. Therefore, changes

in the concentration of the anesthetic vapor were not easily controlled.

Dr. Lucien E. Morris standardized the administration of volatile

anesthetics with his invention of the Copper Kettle, which produced known

volumes of saturated vapor, then diluted to calculated concentrations

necessary for anesthesia. To achieve this, modifications had to be made

in the liquid container, circuit design, and vaporizing surfaces in use

at the time. Morris' design incorporated a separately metered flow of

carrier gas through the vaporizer to produce known volumes of saturated

vapor for introduction into the fresh gas flow delivery.

measure anaesthesia nor what the basic mechanisms are. In this paper, a

model for the state of anaesthesia, is presented, and some aspects of

basic mechanisms and monitoring are discussed. Anaesthesia modulates or

blocks the somatic and autonomic responses to injury, mainly by

postsynaptic inhibition of impulses. Empirical dosing and clinical

monitoring are still the rule, computerized and electronic systems need

to be further refined.

TI - Anecdotes from the history of anesthesia in dentistry.

AB - I believe that dentists have made important contributions to

anesthesiology and patient care. Medical anesthesiology is now being

required to provide more same-day or ambulatory care. Where it was once

good sport to criticize dentists providing brief anesthesia services for

their patients, it has now become appropriate for physician

anesthesiologists to use shorter-acting agents, improved physiologic

monitoring, reversal agents, and early discharge as part of their care of

patients. Anecdotes are informative and often provide us with nostalgic

recognition and a smile. Ask yourself how you would have responded to the

needs of your patients if you were practicing 40 or more yrs ago. We owe

a major debt of gratitude to our gallant forebearers and an

acknowledgement saying "Well done," and "God bless."

the publication of "Anesthesia metamerica" (see comments)]

CM - Comment in: Rev Esp Anestesiol Reanim 1997 Aug-Sep;44(7):292

AB - Fidel Pages was born in Huesca on the 26th of January 1886. He completed

his secondary studies in the same city, later receiving his degree in

medicine and surgery from University of Zaragoza (1908) with high honors.

The same year he joined the army medical corp, to be sent to serve in

Melilla in 1909 with a rank of second medical officer. After being

promoted in 1911 to first medical officer, he served in Tarragona,

Toledo, Madrid (where received his doctoral degree), Ciudad Real, and

once again in Madrid. In 1913 Pages married and was destined to Mahon,

only to return to work at the War Ministry in Madrid in 1915, after a

brief sojourn in Alicante. The same year he placed first in competition

for a staff position at Madrid's Hospital Provincial. In 1917, during

World War I, he inspected POW camps in Austria and Hungary, while also

serving in the military hospital in Vienna. In 1919 he became the

founding editor of Revista Espanola de Cirugia, which published

"Anestesia metamerica" in 1921, simultaneous to its publication in

Revista de Sanidad Militar. In 1920 on he was assigned to Madrid's

Hospital Militar de Urgencia, but was also briefly sent to Melilla in

1921 as a consequence of the military "Disaster at Annual". In 1922 he

was promoted to the rank of Medical Commandant. On the 21st of September

1923, Pages died in a traffic accident while returning to Madrid from

San Sebastian. His work was soon forgotten, as can be seen from the

credit long given to the Italian surgeon Dogliotti for the discovery of

epidural anesthesia. Only with passing time, and through the effort of

Argentinian and Spanish physicians, has the world come to recognize

Pages as the original author of this technique.

be a painful process. In 1849, the editors of one of Canada's medical

journals asked Abraham De Sola, Canada's first rabbi, to give his

interpretation of Genesis 3:16 for the benefit of their readers, which he

did in a three-part article. Using Hebrew biblical scholars as his

source, he wrote that the correct interpretation of this passage was that

with toil or labor shall women bring forth children, rather than with

pain. Therefore, by using anesthesia in childbirth, physicians were not

going against the scriptures or the word of God.

TI - Oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways: I (1880-1995).

AB - PURPOSE: During the past decade the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has

dominated literature about airways for use during general anaesthesia.

The LMA addresses clearly defined clinical objectives. The purpose of

this study is to determine whether those objectives were described

collectively with reference to earlier airway designs. METHODS: The

anaesthesia sections of Index Medicus 1880-1995 were read and

publications in the English language about airways were obtained and

analysed. Secondary information sources were references to causes of

respiratory obstruction. This was supplemented by random reference to

available textbooks. RESULTS: The multiple objectives, as least

partially, satisfied by the LMA were not described collectively at the

time of Hewitt's presentation of an oropharyngeal airway in 1908 and

largely were neglected until the present time. CONCLUSION: The design of

airways has been based on clinical circumstances and perceived

requirements of the time. In contemporary anaesthetic practice, distinct

clinical situations still occur and there is a role for different device

designs. Currently for supraglottic airway management during general

anaesthesia, four types of airway should be available: a Guedel airway,

nasopharyngeal airway, a laryngeal mask airway, and an airway

specifically designed to facilitate blind tracheal intubation.

TI - [Early contributions from Erlangen to the theory and practice of ether

and chloroform anesthesia. 1. Heyfelder's clinical trial with ether and

chloroform]

AB - The era of modern anaesthesia in Germany began on January 24th, 1847.

This day, professor in ordinary Johann Ferdinand Heyfelder anaesthetized

a patient with sulphuric ether in the clinic of surgery and ophthalmology

of the University of Erlangen. By March 17th, 1847, Heyfelder had

performed 121 surgical procedures under ether. The operations in majority

were teeth-extractions, and a few more complex operations such as the

treatment of a harelip or of lip cancer or the resection of the shoulder

joint. Heyfelder described in detail 108 of these inhalations in a little

book entitled The experiments with sulphuric ether. This monograph

published in March, 1847, represents one of the first complete

dissertations on sulphuric ether in the German literature. In a special

chapter he analyzed the development of various physiological and

psychological parameters during etherization. Heyfelder also examined

blood and urine of some etherized patients and reported that he did not

find any important or specific alterations. In 1847, Heyfelder was

probably the first to apply salt-ether in man. After 4 administrations he

concluded that salt ether acted more quickly but shorter than sulphuric

ether. Advantageous were its application without problems and ease of

induction. Disadvantageous were its high volatility, its price and the

difficulty of getting it in a pure form. From December, 1847, on

Heyfelder started to use chloroform. He was now able to perform more

major operations, for example, the total resection of the hip-joint. In

his book The experiments with sulphuric ether, salt ether, and chloroform

he describes a great number of anaesthetic administrations using these 3

agents. In his summary Heyfelder concluded, that chloroform was undoubtly

superior to sulphuric ether mainly because it was a quicker acting and

longer lasting agent and leads to deeper narcosis. Moreover its

application was much easier for it needed no special apparatus. However,

because of its great anaesthetic potency, Heyfelder particularly demanded

great caution in the application of chloroform. Explicitely he expected

an assistant for chloroformizations, whose only duty was to supervise the

inhalations and the patient--a forerunner of the modern specialized

anaesthesiologist.

AB - The Hospital of the Brethren of Mercy in Prague, Na Frantisku was built

on the place, where a medieval hospital had been built in the middle of

the 14th century. The Brethren of Mercy got into possession of the

building in December 1620. Till the General hospital was built (1790)

their hospital was the largest in Prague. Since the 2nd half of the 18th

century the clinical education of the medicine students was held here.

The Brother of Mercy Celestyn Opitz (1810-1866) was sent by the order to

the Prague medical faculty, where he reached the magister of surgery in

1842. On February 7th, 1847 in the hospital Na Frantisku he was the

first in Bohemia to apply the ether narcosis. In 1852 he graduated in

Vienna to medicine doctor, but later he worked in the administration of

his order.

contribution to quality control in anesthesia]

AB - The fifth compilation of anaesthetization statistics "Zur

Narkotisirungsstatistik", presented by the surgeon Ernst Julius Gurlt in

1895 summarizes the answers to a questionnaire of the German Surgical

Society given by 78 mainly large German surgical hospital departments. It

comprises 55,395 anaesthetic procedures, most of them (34,412) performed

under chloroform, although this substance was still associated with many

more fatal complications than ether. At the same time, unpleasant

non-fatal complications in connection with the application of ether are

also pointed out. Details concerning premedication, the role of the

anaesthetist, postoperative care, documentation and especially

complications and how to prevent and deal with them are taken from 38

reprinted reports. Gurlt's activities initiated more than 100 years ago

are to be seen as pioneer work in the field of anaesthesiological quality

assessment.

TI - [Priority conflict concerning the discovery of lumbar anesthesia between

August Bier and August Hildebrandt]

AB - The history of anaesthesiology like that of other medical branches has

not been free of quarrels concerning priority. International disputes

between the surgeon August Bier from Kiel and his former colleague August

Hildebrandt concerning the question of who was the actual inventor of

spinal anesthesia have almost fallen into oblivion. While Hildebrandt and

numerous other colleagues frequently stated that the New York neurologist

James Leonhardt Corning was the inventor of spinal anesthesia, Bier

insisted on having described and developed this method first and without

any knowledge of Corning's experiments. Corning's use of the term "spinal

anesthesia" in his publications probably caused the error that he was the

first to describe and apply this new widespread technique. Only recently,

American scientists emphasized the fact that this is not true. There

will, unfortunately, not be an answer to the Question why Hildebrandt

started this quarrel about priority. His reason might have been hurt

feelings as he had not been mentioned as co-author in Bier's epoch-making

survey.

discussed at the end of the last century. The reports "Zur

Narkotisirungs-Statistik" given by the Berlin surgeon Gurlt between 1891

and 1895 are published examples. Answers in questionnaires and additional

comments--mainly from German surgical hospital departments--were the main

sources of these reports. However, every year some answers also came from

foreign countries. In his fifth report Gurlt published in 1895 the full

text of a contribution given by Prince from Chicago, Illinois, USA. That

report--given here once again in the original form--allows an insight

into the practice of anaesthesia in North America in those days. Many of

these statements and recommendations are still relevant; they are now

essentials of the so-called "quality assurance" or "quality control".

TI - [Otto Kappeler--a pioneer in anesthesia in German-speaking regions]

AB - The publication of textbooks on anaesthesiology reflects the enormous

progress made over the last decades. This new branch of medicine was

first completely described in Germany by Otto Kappeler from Switzerland,

who was asked to do so by his famous colleague Theodor Billroth from

Vienna. Starting with remarks concerning the history of anaesthesiology,

he described on more than 220 pages everything that was known about the

anaesthetics used at that time. Additionally, he outlined the prospects

of the then also brand new methods of local anaesthesia. Undoubtedly it

was of Kappeler's special concern to avoid the risk of iatrogenic

complications while the patient was under any anaesthetic. This can

easily be proved by the fact that he put special emphasis on precautions

concerning life-threatening situations and their therapy. To avoid the

dangers of an acute airway obstruction by the patient's tongue, he

modified the so-called "Esmarch-Heidberg" manoeuvre, which later on

became known as the "Kappeler" flick. For the first time ever, Kappeler

managed to describe sphygmographically the circulatory effects of

narcotics in an anaesthesia-related textbook. Basically, he could not

find any differences between them, since " ... all higher dosages of

anaesthetics used during operations caused ... a strong widening of the

blood vessels ... by paralysing the vasoconstrictors". He believed it

would be possible to exclude the dangers of overdosing drugs by

introducing devices to perform anaesthesia. In using his self-designed

device, which was a modification of the device used at that time,

invented by Junker, he was able to come closer to the goal of "in somno

securitas" he so vehemently fought for. This confidence he derived from

the fact that he was already a strong believer in the advantage of the

"self-conducted chloroformation or anaesthesia".

TI - Regional anesthesia and chronic pain management in the 1920s and 1930s.

The influence of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia.

AB - BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Physicians in the 1920s and 1930s began to

treat patients with chronic pain syndromes using regional anesthetic

techniques for both temporary and permanent block of pain pathways. The

founding of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) in 1923

provided a unique venue for the dissemination of information concerning

regional anesthesia for both surgery and chronic pain management.

METHODS. The growth of chronic pain management on a national basis was

assessed by using the Quarterly Cumulative Index to the Medical

Literature to trace the distribution of information on regional

anesthesia. From the Minutes of Meeting of the American Society of

Regional Anesthesia, presented papers and the discussion that followed

were analyzed. RESULTS. Inquiries into regional anesthesia during the

1920s and 1930s predominantly dealt with technique. For the first time

pain papers were listed under the regional anesthesia heading in the

Index. The papers presented at ASRA meetings during the period helped

develop the use of regional anesthesia for both chronic pain management

and surgical anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS. The ASRA was instrumental in

bringing together physicians interested in regional anesthesia and pain

management. During the 1930s physician anesthetists came to predominate

as the organization's officers and members and helped translate the work

of the ASRA into a part of the knowledge required to be a specialist

physician in anesthesia.

gases in exhaled air]

AB - As early as in 1850 (only 4 years after the first clinical performance of

ether anaesthesia by W. T. G. Morton on 16 October 1846) John Snow

recognised that ether and chloroform were exhaled unchanged with the

expired air. To reuse these unchanged vapours in the following

inspiration and thereby prolonging the narcotic effect of a given amount

of anaesthetic vapour, he converted his ether inhaler into a To-and-Fro

Rebreathing System: The apparatus was equipped with a facemask without an

expiratory valve and a large reservoir bag containing pure oxygen; an

aqueous solution of caustic potash was used as CO2 absorbent. In several

experiments, performed on himself, Snow succeeded to demonstrate that

rebreathing of the exhaled vapours was possible following carbon dioxide

absorption, and that it resulted in a pronounced prolongation of the

narcotic effects of the volatile anaesthetics. Furthermore, Snow

performed experiments on animals using a closed system for evaluating the

carbon dioxide production during anaesthesia. It is all the more

worthwhile to introduce Snow's publications on these topics, as, despite

their extraordinary theoretical and practical significance, they remained

nearly unnoticed. Even in the fundamental articles by D. Jackson and R.

Waters, both being the respected protagonists of the rebreathing

technique in anaesthesia, the Snow papers remained uncited.

the term "Interventional Radiology" describing percutaneous extraction of

residual gallstones. Fluoroscopy guided biopsy of the lung and

mediastinum were described in the thorax by Nordenstrom. Percutaneous

approach to the bile ducts was clinically applied by Wiechel, Lunderquist

and Wallace. T-Tube extraction of residual gallstones was popularized by

Burhenne. Cross sectional imaging, Ultrasonography and Computed

Tomography offered the indispensable anatomical precision allowing a

percutaneous approach to the deeply located structures in an axial plane.

Haaga and Alfidi described percutaneous tissue sampling and drainage

procedures guided by CT. Holm developed Ultrasound guided drainage and

Otto initiated the perforated transducer. Percutaneous drainage of fluid

collections rapidly became a standard. Plastic stents were inserted

percutaneously in the bile ducts by Pereiras. Percutaneous neurolysis of

the coeliac plexus was described by Hegedus Direct injection of ethanol

and laser ablation of liver tumors, diskectomy and tubal recanalization

are other more recently developed procedures.

TI - [Intravenous anesthesia with inhalation anesthetics]

AB - The authors describe intravenous anaesthesia with diethyl ether that has

been in use for over 70 years as the only clinically useful form of

anaesthesia with intravenously applied volatile anaesthetics. Intravenous

ether anaesthesia, which had been introduced in 1909 by Burkhardt, was

rarely but regularly used in Europe and the United States between 1910

and 1930. In the course of development of new intravenous anaesthetics

such as hexobarbital and thiopental, which were easier to handle,

intravenous ether narcosis was used only sporadically after 1930. The

method, however, has certain "pros", such as: rapid and excitation-free

introduction, good manageability, only mild postnarcotic disturbances and

volume substitution by the carrier solution. The "cons" are a quite

considerable incidence of venous irritations and thromboses, complicated

and costly equipment and preparation of the solution as well as

cardiovascular stress in case of cardiac insufficiency patients.

Simulation confirmed the statements from literature in respect of the

characteristic features concerning induction and manageability.

RF - REVIEW ARTICLE: 66 REFS.

AB - The worldwide epidemic of cancer of the lung has stimulated the

development of therapies to relieve endobronchial obstruction. Table 3

lists a number of endobronchial therapies that might be used to treat

malignant central airway obstruction. With over 15 years of worldwide

experience, the Nd:YAG laser has proven to be the most important of these

tools. Laser bronchoscopy can be performed with rigid or flexible

instruments and produces a rapid recanalization of the airway with

associated relief of symptoms. The treatment is repeatable and has

acceptable immediate complications and infrequent delayed complications.

To be effective, laser bronchoscopy can only be used for the treatment of

intraluminal obstructions. Obstruction by submucosal infiltration and

external compression require other endobronchial therapies. The

performance of laser bronchoscopy requires an extra commitment by the

bronchoscopist. A thorough understanding of airway and mediastinal

anatomy is mandatory along with an appreciation of laser physics and

tissue interaction. Attendance at specialized training courses may be

required to satisfy local credentialing bodies. In the past 15 years,

thousands of patients have benefited from the development of laser

bronchoscopy techniques. No longer a therapy of last resort, laser

bronchoscopy has proven to be an excellent tool to relieve the symptoms

of central airway obstruction.

mortality rate from barbiturate anaesthesia for surgery of the injured

occurred after the Japanese attack on the American bases in Hawaii in

December 1941. From accounts by surgical staff and official hospital

records which have become available through US Freedom of Information

legislation, it is clear that the rumoured death rate from this cause has

been greatly exaggerated.

TI - Emergent obstetric management of uterine inversion.

RF - REVIEW ARTICLE: 29 REFS.

AB - Puerperal inversion of the uterus is an unusual and potentially

life-threatening event occurring in the third stage of labor, but when

managed promptly and aggressively inversion can result in minimal

maternal morbidity and mortality. Once the diagnosis of inversion is

made, measures should be undertaken to manage and correct acute blood

loss and potential shock. In conjunction with anesthesia personnel,

immediate uterine replacement should be considered. Uterine relaxants

(MgSO4, terbutaline, or halothane) can be used if initial attempts fail;

however, in the majority of patients successful immediate replacement

without use of uterine relaxants is possible. The choice of anesthetic

agent and uterine relaxants should be individualized based on the

clinical scenario. Following manual replacement, massage and ecbolic

agent(s) should be instituted immediately to prevent reinversion.

Surgical repositioning via an abdominal or vaginal approach may be

necessary in subacute or chronic inversions.

evolution during the second half of the past century]

AB - To examine the historical development of obstetric anesthesia in Spain

during the second half of the nineteenth century. Research was based on

in-depth analysis of accounts of anesthesia during the period covered,

mainly from original sources, using established methods for studying the

history of medicine. We collected a great deal of documentary evidence,

much of it unpublished and of clear historical value for tracing the

history of obstetric anesthesia in Spain and identifying the main factors

that have influenced it. We emphasize that controversy limited to a large

extent the use of anesthesia in obstetrics. The controversy seems to have

been fed by physicians' uneasiness with anesthesia as well as by certain

prejudices of a religious or moral nature that are deeply rooted in

Spanish society.

AB - This study was carried out to identify key events in the history of the

introduction and evolution of techniques for local anesthesia in Spain.

We searched Spanish archives, finding a large number of documentary

evidence, most of which is unpublished or has not been cited by other

authors. Analyzing these documents with methods usually applied by

medical historians, we found that techniques of local anesthesia were put

into practice rapidly and widely and that they were an important factor

in the development of Spanish surgery, as anesthesia made both the

undertaking and the success of many procedures a real possibility.
