General anesthesia was introduced to the world in October 1846 when ether was demonstrated to be an effective agent.
On October 16, 1846 at the Massachussetts General Hospital in Boston,
general anesthesia was introduced to the world when ether was demonstrated
to be an effective and safe agent. The universal expectation was that the
practice of surgery would undergo a radical transformation within months, as
the exciting news of pain-free operating travelled around the world. But a
careful review of the state of medical science at the time reveals factors
that prevented this from happening.
