Written by two anaesthetists, one British and one American, this
unique book focuses on the transatlantic story of anaesthesia. The
authors have both worked at the two hospitals where the first
general anaesthetics for surgery were given in 1846, Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts and University College
Hospital, London. Each with more than fifty years' experience of
working in anaesthesia, they combine their knowledge and expertise
to offer a fresh outlook on the development of anaesthesia through
the ages. This highly informative and intriguing text details the
origins of anaesthesia, outlines the different techniques of
anaesthesia and traces its progress with illuminating and
enlightening commentaries. This is a fascinating book which
considers the role key figures have played in developing
anaesthesia including, Queen Victoria, William Morris, La
Condamine, Bjorn Ibsen and Henry Beecher. Broken down into four
sections, which are divided into easy-to-read chapters and filled
with top quality photographs, this book makes compelling reading.
It is recommended to all those interested in the history and
development of medicine through the ages, and is of particular
interest to anaesthetists. More than just the science of
anaesthesia, this is the story about the people and personalities
who have made anaesthesia what it is today.
