History
Overview
The authors present the commented part of a 1921 textbook of surgery, the first edition of which was published as a textbook in 1917. The introductory part of this historical publication is devoted to anesthesia and is surprising in its scope. Due to its size, the present text has been divided into 4 parts (Introduction, Local anesthesia, Intravenous regional anesthesia and neuroaxial blockade, General anesthesia I), which were already published in this journal in 2017-2018. After obtaining the rest of the text, we now publish the last part dedicated to the technique of performing anesthesia and to the management of complications, including resuscitation. The original text is accompanied by a commentary that puts it in a historical context with the development in the field of anaesthesiology at that time and describes the circumstances of the development of each procedure. The textbook was compliant with the German and Viennese schools.
