Foreword
It hardly seems any time since we had the 6th edition of this popular
textbook of anesthesia. Yet the world has greatly changed and so
has the field of anesthesia. The authors, John Butterworth, David
Mackey and John Wasnick, have maintained the same layout with
Key Concepts beginning each chapter in order to focus the reader’s
attention on the important points. They have updated chapters and
references notably those on enhanced recovery after anesthesia
(ERAS), and cardiovascular anesthesia, with increasing emphasis on
percutaneous valvular replacement.
Clinical Anesthesiology is one of the best-selling textbooks of
anesthesia around the world. The last edition was translated into 10
languages. It is popular with anesthesia residents, nurse anesthetists
and trainees everywhere. It is not meant to be all encompassing but
to provide a solid basic knowledge of the specialty on which one can
effectively build. The authors have succeeded in their objectives.
Congratulations to the authors and editors on a very fine
textbook.

INHALATION ANESTHESIA
Because the hypodermic needle was not invented until 1855,
the first general anesthetics were destined to be inhalation agents.
Diethyl ether (known at the time as “sulfuric ether” because it was
produced by a simple chemical reaction between ethyl alcohol and
sulfuric acid) was originally prepared in 1540 by Valerius Cordus.
Ether was used for frivolous purposes (“ether frolics”), but it was not
used as an anesthetic agent in humans until 1842, when Crawford
W. Long and William E. Clark independently used it on patients for
surgery and dental extraction, respectively. However, neither Long
nor Clark publicized his discovery. Four years later, in Boston, on
October 16, 1846, William T.G. Morton conducted the first publicized
demonstration of general anesthesia for surgical operation using
ether. The dramatic success of that exhibition led the operating
surgeon to exclaim to a skeptical audience: “Gentlemen, this is no
humbug!”
Chloroform was independently prepared by Moldenhawer, von
Liebig, Guthrie, and Soubeiran around 1831. Although first used by
Holmes Coote in 1847, chloroform was introduced into clinical
practice by the Scot Sir James Simpson, who administered it to his
patients to relieve the pain of labor. Ironically, Simpson had almost
abandoned his medical practice after witnessing the terrible despair
and agony of patients undergoing operations without anesthesia.
Joseph Priestley produced nitrous oxide in 1772, and Humphry
Davy first noted its analgesic properties in 1800. Gardner Colton and
Horace Wells are credited with having first used nitrous oxide as an
anesthetic for dental extractions in humans in 1844. Nitrous oxide’s
lack of potency (an 80% nitrous oxide concentration results in
analgesia but not surgical anesthesia) led to clinical demonstrations
that were less convincing than those with ether.
Nitrous oxide was the least popular of the three early inhalation
anesthetics because of its low potency and its tendency to cause
asphyxia when used alone (see Chapter 8). Interest in nitrous oxide
was revived in 1868 when Edmund Andrews administered it in 20%
oxygen; its use was, however, overshadowed by the popularity of
ether and chloroform. Ironically, nitrous oxide is the only one of
these three agents still in use today. Chloroform superseded ether in
popularity in many areas (particularly in the United Kingdom), but
reports of chloroform-related cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory
depression, and hepatotoxicity eventually caused practitioners to
abandon it in favor of ether, particularly in North America.
Even after the introduction of other inhalation anesthetics (ethyl
chloride, ethylene, divinyl ether, cyclopropane, trichloroethylene, and
fluroxene), ether remained the standard inhaled anesthetic until the
early 1960s. The only inhalation agent that rivaled ether’s safety and
popularity was cyclopropane (introduced in 1934). However, both are
highly combustible and have since been replaced by a succession of
nonflammable potent fluorinated hydrocarbons: halothane
(developed in 1951; released in 1956), methoxyflurane (developed
in 1958; released in 1960), enflurane (developed in 1963; released
in 1973), and isoflurane (developed in 1965; released in 1981).
Currently, sevoflurane is by far the most popular inhaled agent in
developed countries. It is far less pungent than isoflurane and has
low blood solubility. Ill-founded concerns about the potential toxicity
of its degradation products delayed its release in the United States
until 1994 (see Chapter 8). These concerns have proved to be
theoretical. Sevoflurane is very suitable for inhaled inductions and
has largely replaced halothane in pediatric practice. Desflurane
(released in 1992) has many of the desirable properties of isoflurane
as well as more rapid uptake and elimination (nearly as fast as
nitrous oxide). Sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane are the most
commonly used inhaled agents in developed countries worldwide.
INTRAVENOUS ANESTHESIA
Induction Agents
Intravenous anesthesia required the invention of the hypodermic
syringe and needle by Alexander Wood in 1855. Early attempts at
intravenous anesthesia included the use of chloral hydrate (by Oré in
1872), chloroform and ether (Burkhardt in 1909), and the
combination of morphine and scopolamine (Bredenfeld in 1916).
Barbiturates were first synthesized in 1903 by Fischer and von
Mering. The first barbiturate used for induction of anesthesia was
diethylbarbituric acid (barbital), but it was not until the introduction
of hexobarbital in 1927 that barbiturate induction became popular.
Thiopental, synthesized in 1932 by Volwiler and Tabern, was first
used clinically by John Lundy and Ralph Waters in 1934, and for
many years it remained the most common agent for the intravenous
induction of anesthesia. Methohexital was first used clinically in 1957
by V.K. Stoelting. Methohexital continues to be very popular for brief
general anesthetics for electroconvulsive therapy. After
chlordiazepoxide was discovered in 1955 and released for clinical use
in 1960, other benzodiazepines—diazepam, lorazepam, and
midazolam—came to be used extensively for premedication,
conscious sedation, and induction of general anesthesia. Ketamine
was synthesized in 1962 by Stevens and first used clinically in 1965
by Corssen and Domino; it was released in 1970 and continues to be
popular today, particularly when administered in combination with
other agents for general anesthesia or when infused in low doses to
awake patients with painful conditions. Etomidate was synthesized in
1964 and released in 1972. Initial enthusiasm over its relative lack of
circulatory and respiratory effects was tempered by evidence of
adrenal suppression, reported after even a single dose. The release
of propofol in 1986 (1989 in the United States) was a major advance
in outpatient anesthesia because of its short duration of action (see
Chapter 9). Propofol is currently the most popular agent for
intravenous induction worldwide.
Opioids
Morphine, first isolated from opium in between 1803 and 1805 by
Sertürner, was also tried as an intravenous anesthetic. The adverse
events associated with opioids in early reports caused many
anesthetists to favor pure inhalation anesthesia. Interest in opioids
in anesthesia returned following the synthesis and introduction of
meperidine in 1939. The concept of balanced anesthesia was
introduced in 1926 by Lundy and others and evolved to include
thiopental for induction, nitrous oxide for amnesia, an opioid for
analgesia, and curare for muscle relaxation. In 1969, Lowenstein
rekindled interest in “pure” opioid anesthesia by reintroducing the
concept of large doses of opioids as complete anesthetics. Morphine
was the first agent so employed, but fentanyl and sufentanil have
been preferred by a large margin as sole agents. As experience grew
with this technique, its multiple limitations—unreliably preventing
patient awareness, incompletely suppressing autonomic responses
during surgery, and prolonged respiratory depression—were realized.
Remifentanil, an opioid subject to rapid degradation by nonspecific
plasma and tissue esterases, permits profound levels of opioid
analgesia to be employed without concerns regarding the need for
postoperative ventilation, albeit with an increased risk of acute
opioid tolerance.
Official Recognition
In 1889 Henry Isaiah Dorr, a dentist, was appointed Professor of the
Practice of Dentistry, Anaesthetics and Anaesthesia at the
Philadelphia College of Dentistry. Thus, he was the first known
professor of anesthesia worldwide. Thomas D. Buchanan, of the New
York Medical College, was the first physician to be appointed
Professor of Anesthesia (in 1905). When the American Board of
Anesthesiology was established in 1938, Dr. Buchanan served as its
first president. Certification of specialists in anesthesia was first
available in Canada in 1946. In England, the first examination for the
Diploma in Anaesthetics took place in 1935, and the first Chair in
Anaesthetics was awarded to Sir Robert Macintosh in 1937 at Oxford
University. Anesthesia became an officially recognized specialty in
England only in 1947, when the Royal College of Surgeons
established its Faculty of Anaesthetists. In 1992 an independent
Royal College of Anaesthetists was granted its charter. Momentous
changes occurred in Germany during the 1950s, progress likely
having been delayed by the isolation of German medical specialists
from their colleagues in other countries that began with World War I
and continued until the resolution of World War II. First, the journal
Der Anaesthetist began publication in 1952. The following year,
requirements for specialist training in anesthesia were approved, and
the German Society of Anesthetists was founded.

SECTION I
KEY CONCEPTS
Culture of Safety
Patients often think of the operating room as a safe place where the
care given is centered around protecting the patient. Anesthesia
providers, surgeons, nurses, and other medical personnel are
responsible for carrying out critical tasks safely and efficiently. Unless
members of the operating room team remain vigilant, errors can
occur that may result in harm to the patient or to members of the
operating room team. The best way to prevent serious harm to the
patient or the operating room team is by creating a culture of safety,
which identifies and stops unsafe acts before harm occurs.
One tool that fosters the culture of safety is the use of a surgical
safety checklist. Such checklists must be used prior to incision on
every case and include components agreed upon by the facility as
crucial. Many surgical checklists are derived from the surgical safety
checklist published by the World Health Organization (WHO). For
checklists to be effective, they must first be used, and all members
of the surgical team must be focused on the checklist when it is
being used. Checklists are most effective when performed in an
interactive fashion. An example of a suboptimally executed checklist
is one that is read in entirety, after which the surgeon asks whether
everyone agrees. This format makes it difficult to identify possible
problems. A better method is to elicit a response after each
checkpoint. For example, the surgeon may begin by asking, “Does
everyone agree this patient is John Doe?” and then ask, “Does
everyone agree we are performing a removal of the left kidney?”
Optimal checklists do not attempt to cover every possibility, but they
address key components, which allows them to be completed in less
than 90 seconds.
Some practitioners argue that checklists waste too much time,
failing to realize that cutting corners to save time often leads to
problems, loss of time, and harm to the patient. If safety checklists
were followed in every case, there would be reductions in the
incidence of preventable surgical complications such as wrong-site
surgery, procedures on the wrong patient, retained foreign objects,
or administration of a medication to a patient with a known allergy
to that medication. Anesthesia providers have been leaders in
patient safety initiatives and should take a proactive role to use
checklists and other activities that foster the culture of safety.

Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide is almost always stored by hospitals in large H-
cylinders connected by a manifold with an automatic crossover
feature. Bulk liquid storage of nitrous oxide is economical only in
very large institutions.
Because the critical temperature of nitrous oxide
(36.5°C) is above room temperature, it can be kept liquefied
without an elaborate refrigeration system. If the liquefied
nitrous oxide rises above its critical temperature, it will revert to its
gaseous phase. Because nitrous oxide is not an ideal gas and is
easily compressible, the transformation into a gaseous phase is not
accompanied by a great rise in tank pressure. Nonetheless, as with
oxygen cylinders, all nitrous oxide E-cylinders are equipped with a

THE PRESENT BOARD.
The members of the present board have served Co-operation well
in many capacities, and several of them have had long years of
service on the board of the Baking Society. Mr Buchanan, the present
chairman, for instance, was elected to the board of the Society in the
year in which Mr Bain became secretary. Mr M‘Lean has represented
Glasgow Eastern Society for many years, and Mr Young St Rollox for
a long period. Mr Monteith had done good work in St George Society
before he came to M‘Neil Street, while this is equally true of Mr
M‘Lay’s connection with Cowlairs. Mr Hamilton was for a number of
years the representative of Pollokshaws Society, and his untimely
death while this book was being written served to act as a reminder
that “life is but a fleeting vapour.” Another member of the group who
has done good service to Co-operation in his own society as well as in
the Baking Society’s board is Mr Cadiz, for a number of years the
energetic secretary of the Glasgow and Suburbs Conference
Association. Mr Johnstone has done good service in Shettleston
Society, and Mr Simpson in London Road Society; while Mr Walker,
the “baby” of the board—he only joined it two months before the end
of the fiftieth year—has been well known for a number of years as a
representative of Clydebank Society.
Nor can we close this record of “men who wrought” without
reference to some of the men who, while not quite so prominent in
its affairs as others, yet had something to do with shaping the
destinies of the Society. Prominent amongst such was Mr Alexander,
who represented Paisley Provident Society on the board from the
election of Mr Brown as president until their society withdrew from
the Federation. For the greater part of the time he acted as treasurer
of the Federation. Mr Ballantyne, of Thornliebank, also was one of
the earliest members of the board, and continued to be associated
with its work, as stable inspector, for many years. The late Mr James
M‘Murran, of Glasgow Eastern, was the Federation’s last treasurer,
the office being abolished during his tenure. Nor must the names of
the late Homer Robertson and Michael Shiels be omitted. For a
number of years Mr Robertson represented St George Society on the
board, while Mr Shiels was for long the representative of Cowlairs
Society, and both gentlemen died in harness within a few months of
each other. For a long time two gentlemen very well known in
another section of the Co-operative movement, Messrs Robert
Macintosh and Allan Gray, acted together as auditors of the Society.
Mr Wells, the respected secretary of Cambuslang Society, was an
auditor of later date, retiring when the amended Industrial and
Provident Societies Act of 1913 made it compulsory that auditors of
Co-operative societies must be public auditors. He was succeeded by
Mr John M. Biggar. The auditor who has served the members of the
Society for the longest period, however, is Mr William H. Jack, who
has audited the Society’s books for over twenty-one years, having
been elected in September 1897 on the retiral of Mr Allan Gray.
The work of many others, who in one way and another helped
while they could, has gone to build up the Society. They are gone,
leaving often not even a name behind them, but the result of their
labours is preserved as by a monument in the strong, virile Society of
which we speak so familiarly as “The U.C.B.S.”
STATISTICS.
In general readers do not care much for statistics, but no record of the Society would be complete
which did not give in some statistical form the growth which the Society has made during fifty years. The
table given is not long, however, nor is it difficult to follow. It gives the position of the Society at the end
of the first year, and at the end of each tenth year thereafter. In addition there are given the first
balance-sheet issued by the Society and that issued for the 200th quarter. Readers can thus see for
themselves the marvellous growth which we have tried, however inadequately, to picture.
