THE BIRTH OF ANESTHESIA

Imagine a time before anesthesia, when every patient who underwent surgery did so fully conscious and aware. Though early forms of anesthesia were discovered in the late 18th century, it took another 50 years before they were used to relieve pain during surgery with any regularity. William T.G. Morton, a Boston dentist, pioneered the use of ether as an anesthesia. Together with surgeon John Collins Warren, they performed demonstation of anesthesia in 1846.

Before ether, patients were sometimes given herbs, wine, or opium. These drugs fogged the mind but did little to stop pain. Surgeons rarely operated on the abdomen, chest, or skull, as these areas were too dangerous to attempt. Patients were often strapped down to prevent movement, and speed was among the surgeon's most valued traits.

Local anesthetics were introduced in the late 1800s. Spinal and epidural anesthesia were developed soon after, along with the introduction of endotracheal tubes to regulate breathing during surgery. Intravenous anesthetics were developed in the 1930s, increasing the range of surgeries that could be safely performed and making painful operations largely a thing of the past.
