The Pain of Surgical Operations before Anesthesia
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041253826 | 190 pages | True PDF,EPUB | 21.76 MB
Covering a previously unexplored area in the history of surgery, this innovative resource provides a historical overview of how surgeons managed the pain of an operation. The definitive statement on this book's central topic was written by Celsus in the first century AD, which emphasized accepting the unavoidability of pain during surgery and how patient distress should not tempt surgeons to rush procedures before completion. Inhaled narcotics were occasionally recommended but never became a standard treatment. There was a consensus from classical times that ingested opium produced too many side effects to be used during an operation. In 1846, anaesthesia was introduced, solving the problem.

Structured into six thematic parts, the Handbook delves into the country's macroeconomic fundamentals, sectoral reforms, environmental challenges, and human development priorities.
