Excerpt

The specialty of anesthesia evolved following the discovery that drugs were able to create a reversible state of unconsciousness enabling surgical interventions to be performed. The need for human control over such powerful and potentially dangerous compounds was implicit in developing the specialty. The notion of anesthesia as an art practiced by professionals versed in human physiology and pharmacology has not been challenged until recently. …
