Sesquicentenario de la anestesia : un aporte de la odontología a la humanidad

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In December 11, 1994 we commemorate the 150 the anniversary of the discovery of anesthesia. Four gentlemen, in the 19th century, disputed among themselves the honor of this discovery: Charles Jackson (Chemist), Crawford Long (Physician) William Morton (dentist) and Horace Wells (dentist). In 1800, Crawford Long did some experiments with Nitrous Oxide and postulated that it could abolish pain even in mayor surgeries; despite of this he didn’t continue his experiments. In 1844, Horace Wells tried Nitrous Oxide as an anesthetic and continued experimenting with it for several years. Later on, he communicated his discovery in Boston, without success, and in Paris, where he was rewarded with the title of Doctor in Medicine. In 1846, Charles Jackson and William Morton experimented with ether, made public its success as an anesthetic, and patented it. Morton was accepted worldwide, as the discover of anesthesia from 1848 until 1863. In 1864 the American Dental Association, by resolution, recognized Horace Wells as the real discoverer, but it was a little too late since Wells had already died. In 1870, the American Medical Association also accepted Horace Wells as the discover of anesthesia.

RESUMEN: El 11 de diciembre de 1994, se cumplen 150 años del descubrimiento de la anestesia. Cuatro personajes se disputaron en el siglo XIX el honor de este descubrimiento. Charles Jackson (químico), Crawford Long (medico), William Morton (odontólogo) y Horace Wells (odontólogo).Crawford Long en 1800, realizó experimentos con Óxido Nitroso y planteo la posibilidad de que éste podría eliminar el dolor, incluso en cirugías mayores. Sin embargo, Long no continuó con su experimentación. Horace Wells en 1844, ensayó el Óxido Nitroso como anestésico y continuó experimentando con él. Luego comunicó su descubrimiento en Boston, pero sin éxito; posteriormente en París, donde si lo premiaron con el título de doctor en Medicina. Charles Jackson y William Morton en 1846, ensayaron con el éter, hicieron público su éxito como anestésico y patentaron. Morton fue aceptado universalmente como el descubridor de la anestesia de 1848 hasta 1863.En 1864, la Asociación Dental Americana por Resolución, reconoció a Horace Wells como el verdadero descubridor, aunque tarde porque Wells ya había muerto. El 1870, la Asociación Médica Americana también aceptó a Horace Wells como el descubridor de la anestesia.
