Described a mastectomy she endured after receiving a
“wine cordial” as her sole anesthetic
Fanny Burney
Summarizes the contribution of anesthesia: “BEFORE
WHOM in all time Surgery was Agony.”
William Thomas Green Morton
In the 16th century, military surgeon ________ became adept at nerve compression as a means of creating anesthesia.
Ambroise Paré
Described the technique of “refrigeration anesthesia” in which snow was placed in parallel lines across the incisional plane such that the surgical site became insensate within minutes. He also have saved numerous lives during an epidemic of diphtheria by performing tracheostomies and inserting trocars to maintain patency of the airway.
Marco Aurelio Severino
Formal manipulation of the psyche to relieve surgical pain was undertaken by 2 French physicians in the late 1820s with hypnosis, then called mesmerism.
Charles Dupotet and Jules Cloquet
In a well-attended demonstration in 1828, ______removed the breast of a 64-year-old patient while she reportedly remained in a calm, mesmeric sleep.
Cloquet
Published the book Numerous Cases of Surgical Operations Without Pain in the Mesmeric State.
Elliotson
He performed the FIRST operation using ETHER anesthesia in England and emarked, “This Yankee dodge beats mesmerism all hollow.”
Robert Liston
A Greek physician from the first century AD, commented on the analgesia of mandragora, a drug prepared from the bark and leaves of the
mandrake plant. (Soporific sponge)
Dioscorides
Prepared as indicated by published reports of the time,

- Nitrous oxide
- Ammonia
- Sulfur dioxide

Thomas Beddoes
Who did he hire in 1798 to conduct research projects for the institute.
Humphry Davy
His human experimental results, combined with research on the physical properties of the gas, were published in Nitrous Oxide, a 580-page book published in 1800.
Humphry Davy
He commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache, obliterated a minor headache, and briefly quenched an aggravating toothache.
Humphry Davy

Humphry Davy
Coined the term “laughing gas”
