Historical Article[The introduction of chloroform anesthesia in Madrid. Notes for studying its history].
Until present, the introduction of chloroform anesthesia in Madrid has not been specifically studied by any author. Therefore, knowledge of the events related to this happening is lacking. We have studied this chapter of our history by analyzing primary documents and articles published at the daily press, political press, and scientific journals of Madrid during 1847 to 1848. ⋯ Based on the present bibliographic material we could establish a chronologic report of all surgical interventions using chloroform that were performed in Madrid. We conclude that albeit surgeons in Madrid were not the first to use chloroform in Spain, they were, however, the ones who most extensively used it. Their contribution was of relevance in the settlement of the new anesthetic agent in Spain.
