    History of Anesthesia

    Uploaded by

    Waleed Hamimy
    Anesthesiologists play a key role in surgery by inducing and monitoring anesthesia. The history of anesthesia dates back thousands of years to ancient Egyptians using herbal remedies and opiates to relieve pain. Important milestones include the first documented use of inhaled anesthesia in the 1800s and the establishment of anesthesia as a specialty in the early 1900s. Today, anesthesiologists are responsible for inducing anesthesia, closely monitoring vital signs and parameters during surgery, and overseeing recovery in the postoperative period.
