Evolution of Anesthesia and Impact on Medicine
The utilization of sulfuric aether for anesthesia by William T.G. Morton in 1846 marked a significant shift in surgical practices, transitioning from limited options like opioids and alcohol to modern anesthesia. This advancement led to the development of laryngoscopy, atray gill tubes, and further medical innovations, making previously intolerable medical procedures more manageable.
