Anesthesia Inhaler
When certain procedures were to take place
that had a lot of pain, for instants an amputation, the surgeon would take a
cloth with chloroform and knock the wounded person out. This was a form of anesthetics
and pain killers, but a lot more weak then what we have today. Anesthetics is a
substance that induces insensitivity to pain.
These anesthetics made
it so the wounded person cannot feel, at least some of the pain when getting
worked on. The pain some of these injured soldiers had to go through was just
horrific.
This technique of knocking the guy out when in surgery was modified. It was modified to have a mask that would fit perfectly on a person’s mouth and the chloroform would go directly into the soldier’s lungs. This modified anesthetic was called the Anesthesia Inhaler (shown in the picture above).
Today, we have changed the way we relive pain and the way to knock out a people while undertaking surgery. We still use a type of Anesthesia Inhaler, it’s like a mask and a tank filled with nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. Today, to get a person unconscious we inject them with Propofol, which can also be inhaled. Also there are so many pain killers and relievers to help people with their pain. So taking the simplest Anesthetic that were used in the Civil War, we can build off of that to create the perfect way to help people with pain.
