KINGSTON GENERAL HOSPITAL HALL OF HONOUR

Beyond Ether:
150 Years of Anaesthesia

The discovery of anaesthesia for pain relief made surgery a more viable option for patients. Before anaesthetics, surgeries were performed as quickly as possible and even then, fifty percent of patients died from post-operative infection. Once only used as a last resort, surgery is now a relatively safe and common procedure, in part because of developments in anaesthesia.
