This, however, is the resultant of centuries of empirical use of anesthetic drugs and many decades of clinical experimentation. Anesthesiology was born with man, since with man pain was also born. Wherever one can see traces of human life, traces of human fight against pain can be found. The ancient civilizations, such as the Assyrian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Chinese, Greek, Roman, Arabian, etc., all left evidence of using drugs and techniques to control pain. This ranged from administration of mysterious concoc- tions and soporific agents to the production of hemor- rhagic shock Cbrain hypoxial, asphyxiation CCOZ narcosisj, application of cold to tissues, etc. However, not before the first half of the 19th Century, and in the following years, i.e., subsequent to the discovery and the rational clinical administration of ether, chloroform, ethylene, nitrous oxide, cyclopropane, the barbiturates, the local anes- thetics, and the curarizing agents, anesthesiology became an independent medical discipline which conquered pain. 31
