THE FIRST CONGRESS OF ANESTHESISTS has gone down into the history of the specialty. It marks an outstanding milestone of achievement. In point of attendance, quality of the papers and the developments reported, it was the best meeting so far held and speaks well for the future.

摘要:

THE PAIN OF DIFFICULT LABOR was not entirely ignored by the ancients for references are made in their literature to the use of narcotic draughts. However, it is certain that no great effort was made to relieve this pain until January 19, 1847, when James Y. Simpson used sulphuric ether in a case of dystocia. Today no physician would think of attempting an obstetrical operation without some form of analgesia or anesthesia.

摘要:

MY EXCUSE for addressing you is that I feel that, although remarkable improvements have been made in anesthesia during the past twenty years, we can hardly claim that the ideal drug or method of administration has as yet been discovered. What form such an ideal anesthetic, it it ever arrives, will take it seems impossible to predict; but whether a gas, an electric current, or a hypodermic injection, it will have to be so innocuous and so simple to administer that the personal factor can be eliminated and the skilled administrator dispensed with. The surgeon, in fact, will act as his own anesthetist, and instead of pneumonia and bronchitis, pulmonary embolism and infarct will alone exercise his mind. The most likely place in which such an invention might originate is in one of the scientific departments of a university, but there seems to be a danger that such a discovery, if made, might be lost sight of owing to a want of interdepartmental co-operation.

摘要:

NITROUS OXID is, in all respects,facile princepsthe basic anesthetic for dental surgeons. If properly used it is almost entirely free from danger, and is rarely productive of nausea or even temporary depression, as after effects. The average person is sufficiently anesthetized, with slow induction, in one minute and thirty-five seconds. It is essential, however, and only fair to the person acting as anesthetist, for the operator to have everything in readiness before the patient begins to inhale, so that every second of the period of anesthesia may be utilized if necessary. Although local anesthesia has been very thoroughly developed at the present time, nitrous oxid-oxygen still has its place in many cases. We should not use conductive and local anesthesia in an infected mouth, --and can you tell when a peridental tissue is free from infection? Hypodermic needles are being forced through such areas, carrying the infective material on into the healthy tissue to be deposited there with the solution. We should, therefore, to say the least of it, not use injection methods where there is visible pus.

摘要:

IN THYROID SURGERY, it has been observed, a great amount of time is often lost by lack of cooperation between the members of the operating team; more particularly, by lack of a definite plan of preparing the held for the surgery. It has also been found that the use of a screen between the surgeon and the anesthetist, besides the time consumed in placing, interferes with certain movements and activities of the surgeon, and closes off the view of the field from the anesthetist, by an occasional glance at which the latter obtains definite useful information. Especially is this true during nitrous oxid-oxygen anesthesia.

摘要:

ETHYL CHLORID (aelhylis chloridum) is a colorless, extremely volatile liquid, with aromatic odor and sweetish taste. It boils at 12.5 C (55°F.) and so must be kept in sealed containers. The anesthetizing power of ethyl chlorid was reported by Flourens, in 1841, and the drug was first administered as a general anesthetic by Heyielder, in 1848. As an anesthetic it may be administered by either the 1 pen. or the closed method.

摘要:

THE ANESTHETIC is of graver importance in chest surgery than in operations elsewhere in the body. The mortality is very high during and following any extensive intrathoracic work.1 Willy Meyer's huge and costly differential pressure cabinets are well known and many complicated forms of apparatus for intratracheal anesthesia have been invented. Gwathmey2 states that “both the complicated differential pressure and the intratracheal methods have practically been largely eliminated.” There is certainly great need for a simple and safe method of anesthesia in thoracic surgery. The method to be described in this paper meets both the requirements of simplicity and safety.
