Anaesthetics StoryboardBefore anaesthetics patients had to be restrained or held down due to the pain of surgery.In 1799 Humphrey Davy discovered Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) could be used to help with pain relief.BUT…it did not work on everyone and some people were still in agony during surgery.
Ether was first used in the UK by Robert Liston, and he successfully amputated a leg using it as an anaesthetic.Slide9

Anaesthetics StoryboardBUT…ether made patients cough a lot, and it was flammable.James Simpson discovered chloroform in 1847.He first tested it on his friends and found it to be an excellent anaesthetic.
However, a lot of patients died because they were given too much chloroform.Slide11
Antiseptics Storyboard

Antiseptics StoryboardIn early surgeries doctors would often operate in blood stained clothes and would not wash their instruments.Louis Pasteur discovered microbes and wrote his Germ Theory of Disease.Joseph Lister read Pasteur’s work and understood that germs were responsible for infection in surgeries.
Lister knew that carbolic acid was used to treat sewage and wondered if it could help prevent infection.Slide13
Antiseptics Storyboard

Antiseptics StoryboardLister experimented using carbolic acid in an operation to repair a compound fracture – it was a success!Lister developed a device (called the ‘donkey engine’) to spray carbolic acid in operating theatres.Some doctors opposed the use of carbolic acid because they did not believe in germs and spraying the operating theatre was time consuming.
Some people opposed the use of carbolic acid simply because it was knew, but also because it would irritate the skin.Slide15
Bleeding Storyboard

Bleeding StoryboardEarly blood transfusions would often use animal blood which would not work.Human transfusions were more successful but no one could explain why they sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t.Blood groups were discovered in 1901 by Karl Landsteiner.
Transfusions were successful when the two people were of the same blood group.If the two people were of different blood groups, the blood would clot and the patient would die.Slide17
Well done!!
