As part of the Journal’s 60 anniversary Diamond Jubilee Celebration, a number of seminal articles from the Journal archives are highlighted in the Journal’s 61 printed volume and online at: www.springer.com/12630. The following article was selected on the basis of its novelty at the time of publication, its scientific merit, and its overall importance to clinical practice: Lucas GHW. The discovery and pharmacology of cyclopropane. Can Anaesth Soc J 1960; 7: 237-56. Drs. Michael P. Bokoch and Adrian W. Gelb provide expert commentary on the discovery and use of a remarkable hemodynamically stable, rapid onset of action, anesthetic gas, the widespread use of which ultimately ended due to its proclivity for explosion.
