KILLING PAIN * 'By Science Features A science in its own right, an-' esthesia has kept up with other medical advances and enables sur-| geons to perform operations that ■ once were considered impossible. An anesthetic is a substance that makes surgery painless. It must be piven properly as incorrect admin istration can lead to serious com plications. Therefore many doctors, ciUled anesthetists, specialize in the study and administration of these . pain-killers. Anesthesia is almost cibipletely an American contribution to medi cal science. Prior to its ap vV T*' F plication to sur -11 gery about a W1 ' hundred years r-/ ■ V ago, wine, whis -1 / \ and opium y\£j / mon but inade- . X^Lrl' quate means of / L preventing pain. 1 Now, there! 7 are many types' of anesthetics: general, spinal, re-j gional block and local. The general | ones, such as ether, laughing gas; and chloroform are administered in ' a gaseous form and are breathed . in by the patient. They usually re sult in absence of pain and com- 1 plete unconsciousness. Local anesthetics such as pro caine are injected into one part of the body, and although the patient remains conscious, that area be comes so numb that the doctor or dentist can work without produc ing pain. There are also substances that can be injected into the lower spine or into other nerve roots that tause lack of sensation in certain related regions of the body. Selection of the anesthetic de pends upon the type of surgery to I »e performed and the condition of the patient. All anesthetics, how ever, have three main objectives: to make the operation painless, to thoroughly relax the patient and to avoid any damage or ham. raY~TIpeRAurHA»BCT ■M sermons § TEXT: “Happiness is found where the old lady found her glasses, safe on her own forehead.” Josh Billings. i A farmer decided to sell his forty I acres.
