“…Ether was the most commonly used anesthetic agent for more than a hundred years since it was first introduced in 1846 in spite of disadvantages (eg, explosion risk; slow onset and difficult induction; and stimulation of vomiting and secretions and laryngeal spasm). 23,24 Administration routes of ether for anesthesia during surgery occurred by inhalation, rectally, and IV. Extensive experience with IV administration of ether was gained by Burkhardt (Germany), Rood (UK), and Hohan (USA) in the early 20th century, highlighting smoother induction, less postoperative nausea, and avoidance of explosive mixtures.…”

Many procedures in science and medicine involve the use of a syringe, and its invention is a key milestone in general and regional anesthesia history. The end of the 19th century brought major changes in syringe production. An industry that initially manually crafted syringes to individual physicians' instructions saw the introduction of a large variety of syringes, sometimes with odd and unique modifications. For many of these unique syringes, there was no proven evidence that these modifications were effective or safe to use. This article provides examples of "odd" syringe designs for use in medicine, general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia. Some designs proved functional and have stood the test of time; others quickly disappeared and ended up in dusty collections.

“…In den 20er Jahren wurde die intravenöse Ethernarkose häufiger angewandt (23,24,25). Von 1930 bis 1950 wird sie sporadisch envahnt, wobei eine positive Einschätzung dieser Methode besteht (26,27,28 1 0 Etherlösung gibt Zwart mit 500 bis 600 ml für einen erwachsenen Mann an (36). W.

The authors describe intravenous anaesthesia with diethyl ether that has been in use for over 70 years as the only clinically useful form of anaesthesia with intravenously applied volatile anaesthetics. Intravenous ether anaesthesia, which had been introduced in 1909 by Burkhardt, was rarely but regularly used in Europe and the United States between 1910 and 1930. In the course of development of new intravenous anaesthetics such as hexobarbital and thiopental, which were easier to handle, intravenous ether narcosis was used only sporadically after 1930. The method, however, has certain "pros", such as: rapid and excitation-free introduction, good manageability, only mild postnarcotic disturbances and volume substitution by the carrier solution. The "cons" are a quite considerable incidence of venous irritations and thromboses, complicated and costly equipment and preparation of the solution as well as cardiovascular stress in case of cardiac insufficiency patients. Simulation confirmed the statements from literature in respect of the characteristic features concerning induction and manageability.
