“…Postoperative residual paralysis after curare and unrecognized airway obstruction was a new source of complications that required basic airway management. 107 During recovery, the unconscious patient was positioned on the side to protect against airway obstruction and vomitus.…”

This third installment of the history of basic airway management discusses the transitional—“progressive”—years of anesthesia from 1904 to 1960. During these 56 yr, airway management was provided primarily by basic techniques with or without the use of a face mask. Airway maneuvers were inherited from the artisanal era: head extension and mandibular advancement. The most common maneuver was head extension, also used in bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy. Basic airway management success was essential for traditional inhalation anesthesia (ether, chloroform) and for the use of the new anesthetic agents (cyclopropane, halothane) and intravenous drugs (thiopental, curare, succinylcholine). By the end of the era, the superiority of intermittent positive pressure ventilation to spontaneous ventilation in anesthesia and negative pressure ventilation in resuscitation had been demonstrated and accepted, and the implementation of endotracheal intubation as a routine technique was underway.

“…The Gillies Mark III competed with the Boyle Mark II circle absorber, which also offered a vaporiser in circuit. It featured in the second edition of Evans' Modern Practice in Anaesthesia published in 1954 [19]. At this time the British Oxygen Company's price for the hospital assembly (MS303) was £105, and for the portable assembly (MS314) £180 -similar to the prices of the Boyle and Coxeter-Mushin apparatuses [20].…”

SummaryThe Gillies anaesthetic machine was produced commercially after 1941. It was probably the first British true circle apparatus. Notably it incorporated a vaporiser inside the circle. There were serial modifications culminating in the Mark III apparatus of 1951, which continued in use through the 1960s. From 1955 the superior efficiency in carbon dioxide absorption of a true circle apparatus over the rival Coxeter–Mushin ‘circle’ absorber became realised.

“…In children, the digestive processes usually stop at the time of shock or trauma. This is the result of circulatory collapse causing generalized body depression including gastric atony (4). It is therefore imperative not to be lulled into a false sense of security by physiological norms.…”
