Highlights
As Margret Fairless Barber said “To look backward for a while, is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward”
Since much has been talked about the evolution of anaesthesia, I thought of speaking today, on how cardiac anaesthesia and critical care has evolved with time
Anaesthesia and critical care are relatively young specialties, nearly their entire history having occurred during the 20th century
Summary
As Margret Fairless Barber said “To look backward for a while, is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward”. Enough, the development of intensive care units closely followed evolvement of cardiac anaesthesia. The very first Intensive Care Unit was established two years later, in 1968, to care for these cardiac surgical patients post-operatively.
