The History of AnaesthesiaBritish Origins
  • John Snow was the first to scientifically
    investigate ether and the physiology of general

    epidemiology who helped stop a cholera epidemic
    in London by proving that the causative agent was
    transmitted by ingestion rather than inhalation.

The History of AnaesthesiaBritish Origins
  • In 1847, Snow published the first book on
    general anaesthesia, On the Inhalation of Ether.
    When the anaesthetic properties of chloroform
    were made known, he also quickly investigated and
    developed an inhaler for that agent as well. He
    felt that an inhaler should be used in
    administering these agents in order to control
    the dose of the anaesthetic.
