Throughout the
history of thousands of years of medicine, it felt a great need to anesthesia
for surgical operations, and only in 1846, Morton's introduction of ether
anesthesia began scientific anesthesiology. In this book, current drugs and
applications for anesthesiology as well as new developments for the use of

Collapse, When Shall the Patient be Declared Ready for Operation, Maintenance
of the Surgical Plane of Anesthesia, Some Important Reflexes, Vomiting during
Anesthesia, Obstructed Breathing, The Use of the Breathing Tube, Indications
for Stimulation during Anesthesia, The Influence of Morphine on Narcosis,
General Course of the Anesthesia, Awakening, Recession of the Tongue after
Narcosis, Post-Operative Distress, Morphine-Anaesthol-Ether Sequence, Minor
Anesthesia with Ethyl Chloride, Intubation Anesthesia.
Local anesthetics
are being increasingly applied in different surgeries. Lower side effects of
neuroaxial anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and field block, in comparison to
general anesthesia , are the main reasons why physicians prefer to conduct
surgeries under local anesthesia, especially in outpatient and day care
surgeries.
Local and Regional
Anesthesia with chapters on Spinal, Epidural, Paravertebral, and Parasacral
Analgesia, and on Other Applications of Local and Regional Anesthesia to the
