What did people do before anesthesia? - Sally Frampton

11 ай бұрынTrace the history of anesthesia from the 3rd century to today, and explore how doctors performed surgery before anesthetic drugs.
--
The quest for anesthetics that could induce unconsciousness and enable more meticulous surgeries began around the early 3rd century CE. Before anesthesia was widely used, patients had to consciously endure every moment of surgery. So, what methods did doctors use before modern medicine caught up? Sally Frampton traces the history of anesthetic drugs.

Not where gangrene was concerned, which we have antibiotics for now but had nothing acceptable to help bacterial or viral infections in the early 1800's! My father was a physician, later an anesthesiologist, and he had some cans of ether out in our storeroom by the garage, where our large freezer and canned food was kept, when the basement shelves were full of home-canned food! I never asked him what the ether cans were stored there for, but I can only surmise that he just planned to use them for something, maybe he was shy on storage at the office. I probably knew at one time but have forgotten now. Penicillin wasn't discovered until about 1928, which was the first antibiotic we had, then many more of different kinds later and there are all kinds of them today. I can still remember Daddy giving us a shot of penicillin when I was very young, and how it hurt (because it was so viscous and quite a bit was injected) it is different today but still used!

they missed the best thing about Robert Liston, in one amputation he managed to kill 3 people, a spectator had a heart attack after being narrowly missed with his knife, he accidently cut his assistant finger who alongside the patient died from an infection because he didn't clean the instrument. Apart from that he was still considered one of the best sturgeon of the time, as due to the speed (he could amputate a leg in 2.5 minutes) he lost only 1 in 10, where the average at the time was 1 in 4.

As an infant, I was operated on over and over without anesthesia. It was believed as late as the 1990s that babies didn’t need anesthesia.

I’m so so sorry! I had a similar but much much much less traumatizing experience When I was a baby my parents suspected I had a bladder infection (Imagery warning for down there) I still remember being laid on that table with strange people in blue touching me down there ( I genuinely don’t think any of them knew this would be something that I’d remember and didn’t want to hurt me at all) and feeling pain, for years I didn’t know what it was since I was too young to understand I was having a tube put into my urethra to get to my bladder, I also remember not being able to cry, so I wonder if I was put under something but it didn’t work? Edit: It definitely wasn’t super duper painful, but it still hurt and that is a sensitive area, I’m not sure if it actually had a huge effect on me, but I remembered it so well I thought I had to have been a toddler until my parents told me that procedure happened under the age of one

Anesthesia (from the patient’s perspective) is a baffling experience. If you’ve never experienced it, I hope you never do. We say that it’s “going to sleep” but the experience is nothing like sleep. When sleeping, you have at least some feeling that time has past. With anesthesia, it’s like someone just edited a section out of your life. It feels instantaneous, even if you were out for days. I’ve only had one surgery that was several hours long. I felt as if i instantaneously transported from the OR to the recovery room. It was very strange and disorienting. Because of the pain meds, I genuinely had no idea they’d actually done the surgery. I had to sit up and look at my leg to make sure something had been done. Of course, a few hours later when the pain meds wore off, there was no question something had been done.

Yeah - I had much the same experience of instantaneousness. I was in one room talking to the anesthesiologist, then I was suddenly, inexplicably, in another room, my leg in a splint, very disoriented and in the worst pain I’ve ever been in (I think the thing the pain meds wearing off earlier than planned possibly made me come to quicker than expected).

@@karatewithelian9014any time you have surgery that requires anesthesia (so, major surgery), they cut deep into your body. Imagine the pain in the moment of badly cutting yourself, but 50 times worse and majorly drawn out - that’s the pain of major surgery without anesthesia. Now imagine the pain you feel *after* cutting yourself - multiply *that* by 50, and add weird pulling sensations (from literally being sewn back together) and some swelling and such, and that’s the pain you feel *after* surgery and after the meds wear off. *Now* imagine going from “no pain” to “post-surgery pain” - your brain isn’t prepared for it because it didn’t experience the pain of surgery itself, so it’s all the worse.

A couple times, dentists want to drill out a small cavity in one of my teeth and insist I don't need any anesthesia and one time in an ER I was at because I cut a finger on a mandolin slicer, they had to cut of a bit of partially severed flesh but insisted they didn't need to numb it with anything. In all of these cases, the pain was very intense. In the ER, I almost passed out after they cut that bit of skin off.

Surgery is an absolute assault on a body and wouldn't be possible without modern anesthesia. From what I've read in the Civil War era the attribute of whether or not a surgeon was good was pretty much how fast he was.

Actually, some of the anesthetics you receive will cause amnesia during the procedure, which is why it seems like no time has passed between going unconscious and waking up, because your brain isn't able to create memories, which means it can't distinguish the passage of time either. This is because sometimes people do briefly regain consciousness (extremely rare and the anesthesiologist's job is specifically to make sure this does not happen) and the amnesia prevents them from suffering mental trauma as a result. Fun fact as well, your body will actually induce a kind of amnesia if you're put through enough pain. But it's more of the "memory rapidly fades afterwards" kind. I've heard of it frequently happening to pregnant women, and I've actually experienced it myself during a particularly horrid kidney stone that sent me to the ER. 0 memory of what happened even though I was never given anything other than IV fluids and a mild painkiller.

theres a real story about a man who went through surgery, got the wrong dosage of anesthesia, woke up midway, and felt all the pain. doctors then realized he was awake when they saw his eyes moving and forcefully injected a drug into him that would make him forget. he didn’t remember the incident but the trauma remained. he committed suicide because he hallucinated from the trauma, trying to remember what happened that could have been the source of the pain. also, from what i remember, i dont think the doctors went to jail. the story is available on a channel called Mr Ballen (a guy who shares stories)

Sushruta (c. 600 BCE) is considered as the "founding father of surgery". His period is usually placed between the period of 1200. BC - 600 BC. One of the earliest known mention of the name is from the Bower Manuscript where Sushruta is listed as one of the ten sages residing in the Himalayas. For successful surgery, Sushruta induced anesthesia using intoxicants such as wine and henbane (Cannabis indica). He being the first and the most important and successful surgeon of the world is a proud part of Indian and world history. It's a shameful thing for Ted x to not give him his rightful place in this video.

Thank you for telling me about Sushruta, I always love expanding my knowledge of the history of science/medicine/technology from outside of the christian-based history that is all we ever seem to get taught in the west (I'm Australian, for reference). So much of what we are taught as having been "discovered" by (usually) English scientists/doctors was actually discovered/invented by people from the Middle East or Asia (and most likely from many other places outside of the West as well)! I'm frequently astonished by how much was covered up by the British empire so they could appear to be the most advanced society on earth - even though it is darkly hilarious, since the doctors/scientists of the British empire were so bogged down in "this is how it's always been done", and often adopted things LONG after it was standard practice in other parts of the world! Anyway, sorry for ranting so much - I just can't help thinking how much faster the world would have advanced if it weren't for colonisation! I'm very grateful to learn the true history of science/medicine/technology, and I'm grateful to you for bringing attention to it! Hope you have a really lovely week friend 💛

@@JesseFred hi fellow curious thinker! I was amazed to see your reply, and no you did not blabber much, rather it made me think that people like you and me still exist. Our willingness to know, is what makes us different and yes that's a good thing. And one other thing, yes britishers during the era of colonial period destroyed our eastern culture. Not only that, but the Mughals that can from modern day Turkey destroyed most of our eastern culture. As a fellow thinker, I would recommend you to look into Vedas and several other books which were written by scientists that existed way before modern day children( no offence) called - Einstein and Newton.(just search this and you'll find out why I said children, I was surprised myself for the first time) For eg - search for Distance from son to earth in Hanuman chalisa( written in 16th century, not even a refracting telescope was invented at that time). When science was teaching us Sun is stationery which was believed to be true just a few years earlier, Yajurved mentioned that sun was not stationery, it moves taking along various planets with it. The concept of flat earth which was once proved to be true was also rejected by Vedas, they clearly mentioned earth not being flat, as it cannot contain gravitational proportionately. Concept of multiverse, quantum physics, etc all came from one single source( many scientists such as Einstein, Nicola Tesla themselves were profound readers of Books such as Bhagvat Geeta). I hope I didn't write too much. 😅

I remember the surgeons putting the gas mask onto me and passed out shortly after going into theatre, it only felt like closing my eyes for no longer then a minute and when i regained consciousness i asked the surgeons when the operation was going to start and when was i going to be sedated to which they replied that the operation had already been completed and was successful. it wasn't until i looked down and noticed the staples from my groin to my belly button that the pain hit me but i was given a PRN of ketamine shortly after that i could administer to myself every 5 minutes if i needed too. I'm fully recovered now and am scheduled to have my ileostomy reversed by the end of the year.

All of my experiences with anesthesia is just blacking out, and waking up later like as if nothing happened, I've heard others say they dream when it happens, but for me I am out like a lightbulb XD.

I had my gall bladder removed about five years ago, and given how much it hurt for the 24 hours after I regained consciousness, I can't imagine how much it would have hurt to have undergone the surgery while conscious. And it would be impossible to perform procedures like a coronary bypass or organ transplant without anesthesia.

Anyone who calls being under anesthesia as being asleep hasn't been under anesthesia. The physicians put a mask over you and you pass out. I came to in what seemed like a moment relieved that the appendix was out but with the sharp incision pain. Still not as bad as dealing with an awful internal infection. There was no sleep, I was out under anesthesia.

Nah I slept well and deep, that’s nice for someone with excruciating disordered sleeping. The waking up part is the worst when you are disoriented and pain starts to set in but the actual part of me being under anesthesia was okay. I’ve been under anesthesia three times in my life and I wouldn’t call it a bad experience. It’s always so interesting to hear about different perspectives so thanks for sharing!
@baileycaywood8719 2 ай бұрын
I agree! When I got my appendix out, the anesthesia gave me a deeper feeling of unconsciousness than sleep. There was no dreaming or tossing and turning, just blank. I have no recollection at all.

I am so grateful for modern medicine. I had a tooth abscess last year and needed it removed, I barely even remember being put to sleep. The healing process was also nearly painless. Having to undergo surgery during the civil war era seems like an absolute nightmare. We were all born in the right era, I can’t even imagine.

Amazing video, narration & animation as always, TED. Now, after I heard about that guy who cut his own arm when he got stuck in the grand canyon, I think the first "method" mentioned in this video (amputate someone quickly) might not have been as traumatic as it sounds. Of course easier typed than gone through.

i don't know how it feels to be under anesthesia since I've never had any surgery done. But one thing im afraid of is the phenomenon of being put under anesthesia then being able to feel the pain of the surgery while still being asleep, always creeps me out.

Superb video as always, Team TedX. Very informative and beautifully animated. However, regarding the first uses of anaesthesia: What about Sushruta, the Father of Indian Surgery, who is said to have used fumes of Henbane (Cannabis Indica) for inducing anaesthesia, *somewhere between 1000 to 800 BC*

I was born with a rare oral condition where I had little to no enamel on my teeth. They tried using laughing gas but since I was in there every other week to get work done it lost its effect. And one of the major symptoms of this disorder is any numbing that is injected, never numbed the tooth
