“…33,34 As early as the 1930s, some researchers recognized the potential value of halogenated hydrocarbon anesthetics given their potency and nonexplosivity-18 different agents were tested on laboratory mice in a preliminary study. 35 A remarkable invention that enabled continuous monitoring and recording of pulse rate and respirations was published in the journal in late 1939 and served as a harbinger of things to come. William Neff, MD, future Chair of Anesthesia at Stanford University, built this device from a polygraph or lie detector.…”

Technological innovation has been closely intertwined with the growth of modern anesthesiology as a medical and scientific discipline. Anesthesia & Analgesia, the longest-running physician anesthesiology journal in the world, has documented key technological developments in the specialty over the past 100 years. What began as a focus on the fundamental tools needed for effective anesthetic delivery has evolved over the century into an increasing emphasis on automation, portability, and machine intelligence to improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of patient care.
