“…Cycloprane (C 3 H 6 ) is a hydrocarbon ring that was discovered in 1882 and it was employed as an anesthetic in 1933. It is an inhalation anesthetic deemed safe, pleasant, powerful, and controllable, which can be used in humans [ 134 ]. However, it forms explosive mixtures with air or oxygen and safety concerns resulted in its use being discontinued.…”

Methods to induce analgesia and anesthesia for research purposes, handling, transport, or stunning have been used in 71 species of crustaceans. A non-systematic literature search was conducted on crustacean anesthetic methods. This review presents a comprehensive evaluation of drugs and non-chemical methods used to provide analgesia and anesthesia in many crustacean species rather than just decapod crustaceans. This information allows users to select an appropriate method or agent for their species of interest. We prepared an on-line tool based on datasette, a no-code open-source solution for simple web-based database frontends that allows exploration and downloading data by method, analgesic/anesthetic, species, life stage, or sex, as well as other data including environmental conditions (temperature, salinity, light), route of administration, dosage, and induction and recovery times. These values can be selected to filter the dataset and export it to CSV or JSON formats. Currently, several techniques and chemicals are, in our opinion, unsuitable for use as anesthetics in crustaceans, and the basis for these opinions are presented. Given the evidence of a pain-like experience in crustaceans, we propose that researchers should treat crustaceans humanely, applying the principles of good handling, care, and the management of stress and pain to safeguard their welfare.

“…He did not publish his manuscript on the laryngeal plug or state when he developed the device. According to Griffith, it was developed around 1935 6 . The laryngeal plug was briefly marketed in the late 1930s, but it had several limitations.…”

“…Harold R. Griffith (1894Griffith ( to 1984, a pioneer in the use of curare during anaesthesia, used the laryngeal plug in the 1930s 6,7 . Griffith wrote in 1935 that the laryngeal plug had been devised "within the last few months" 6 . According to Griffith, the size of the plug "makes it more difficult to introduce than the inflatable cuff, but once in the larynx, it makes a satisfactory closed circuit without laryngeal or tracheal irritation" 6 .…”

“…4 In 1939, Griffith reported on 5,000 cases of cyclopropane use without a single death. 5 By this time, Harold Griffith was a familiar figure on the American academic anesthesia circuit and a member of what was arguably its most elite academic organization, the Anesthetists Travel Club. In 1929, John Lundy, Chair of the Section on Regional Anesthesia at the Mayo Clinic, founded the Travel Club, which was comprised of leaders of the specialty from the United States and Canada who met regularly to discuss innovations in regional and general anesthesia.…”
