Chloroform mask (5) from YANKAUER |

The YANKAUER mask consists of a fine wire mesh, 13 cm x 9 cm, with a handle. It was developed around 1910 and was described by Taylor GWATHMEY (1862-1944) as the best mask for the drip method for chloroform and ether.

From the estate of the physician Camille GLAESENER (1887-1952) this mask comes from ESMARCH with its original cover made of flannel cloth (in our case with moth infestation). On the back, this cover was "hooked" to a button near the handle.

Mask from McCARDIE |

William Joseph McCardie (1865-1939) was England's first anesthesiologist to live outside of the capital, London, exclusively by administering narcosis. One of his peculiarities was to demand the same fee as the surgeon - in the industry it is usual to settle for half! Unlike other narcotists, he used only sterilized masks. The mask developed by him served to induce anesthesia by ether, and b. to add some chloroform. He was from 1910-12 the second president of the Royal Society of Medecine was "tutor in anaestetics" at the University of Birmingham from 1912-1920.

Chloroform, bill 1854 |

"Chloroform, Formylchlorid, eine Verbindung des Formyls mit Chlor, wird erhalten, indem man eine Mischung von Chlorkalk, Wasser und Weingeist einer Destillation unterwirft. Das C. wird als betäubendes Mittel sowohl vor chirurg. Operationen, als in Krankheiten bei heftigen Schmerzen angewendet" (Herders Conversations-Lexikon; 1854, Bd. II, S. 96).
1854 played in the family Charles METZ (1799-1853) from a drama: first the father, then the daughter was carried away.
Charles Metz died on 24 April 1853 - the aortic rupture was such a foudroyantes events that it did not come to the use of drugs. In the treatment of the daughter, however, the treating physicians must have experienced agony when administering the chloroform, since only recently the English physician John SNOW (1813-1853) described deaths:

Chloroform was produced in 1831 independently by Justus von Liebig and Eugène Soubeiran. After his narcotic effect had been recognized as early as 1842 by the British physician Robert Mortimer Glover and 1847 by the French physiologist Marie Jean Pierre Flourens and the Scottish obstetrician James Young Simpson, it was the merit of the latter, Chloroform a year later in the medical Introduce practice and spare countless patients surgical pain (text Wikipedia). Chloroform has long been an important anesthetic. The danger emanating from him (damaging to health) was underestimated for many years.

Which sensations and feelings connect with an old reflex hammer, a therapy couch, a heat bottle, a glass syringe or an anesthetic mask? For a long time, no doctor was disappeared an idea of pain. Michael Faraday, a Davy's student, discovered the dazzling ether-damage 1801, which had already discovered Paracelsus in the 16th century without us. Only in 1842 Crawford W. Long (1815-1878), an American vicinity of Jefferson, led a first intervention, a tumor cutting, under aether prosecosis - his pioneering performance was not publicly recognized. Jackson in Boston had a randomly invalidity of ether in unconsciousness and deep sleep and followed this appearance. The two American dentists Horace Wells and W.T.G. Morton first worked with laughs (1844), then also aether (1845/46) in practice to draw painless teeth. The American dentists Horace Wells and Williamg. Morton experimented from 1844 with aether, on 16.10.1846 Morton led the Badstonian in the Boston, the first clinical prospects, historical etheric aerosis by a patient with a gatebor, in December of the same year, the London's surgeon Robert Liston turned the method for the first time in Europe, and ampute a thigh. October 16, 1846 - the famous "Aethetag", where William Thomas Morton (1819-1868) in Boston had aheads to stun a patient's chief surgeon John Collins Warren. Even as with this first successful demonstration of an etheric award of the breakthrough for a quick-spreading introduction of generalization for operational purposes, it was not missing on critical voices. Louis Ombredanne (1871-1956) was surgeon in Paris, where he promoted in particular childhood surgery and developed trend-setting techniques, for the operation of hypospadie. The device in 1908 of him for the aethearian aid is made of a hollow metal ball filled with gauze. |

A second, very similar device belonged to Dr. PRIM, who practiced in Luxembourg from 1919-1974. The mask is now partially made of rubber and nestles better on the patient's face.

In 1824, the English surgeon Henry Hill HICKMAN (1800-1830) published a report of his painless operations in mice and young dogs, which he had previously anesthetized using carbonated, low-oxygen air. Both the British "Royal Medical Society" and the French "Académie Royale de Médicine", which he called, were hesitant and finally dismissive of his proposals for inhalation anesthesia underpinned by animal experiments - no one recognized the scope of the experiments and the possible benefits for the patients. Some members of this academy even described the attempt of pain-stuning a human being as a violation of the divine providence of pain and as an offense against morality.

The first inhalation anesthetic in history was hashish. In fact, the ancient Scythians burned hemp seed in their tents to become intoxicated - unfortunately, the Scythians failed to introduce the hemp vapors into the surgical practice. Only the Romans discovered the analgesic effect: Pliny the Elder writes that hemp alleviates pain, and Pedanios Dioscurides reports on the effectiveness of the juice of hemp seeds against earache. From the Middle Ages to modern times, hemp has been used to reduce the amount of labor cramps and postnatal pain symptoms.
