AbstractMacewen, who was the first to perform tracheal intubation in a patient undergoing surgery under gen- eral anesthesia, described four people (Desault Bou- chut, Schrötter and Trendelenburg) who had per- formed tracheal intubation (without general anesthe- sia), before Macewen. Literature search indicates that tracheal intubation had been performed before Desault (ca. 1790), with different aims. In this article, I describe several people who developed tracheal intuba- tion for cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the drowned: Alexander Monro Secundus (tracheal intubation was estimated to be performed during 1767-1774), William Cullen (1767-1774), Charles Kite (1784-1786) and Edward Coleman (1786-1791).
