Part of a collection of medical technologies donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation by the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. This object was on display as part ‘An Exhibit on Inhalers and Vaporizers, 1847-1968’ at CAS’s Annual Meeting in Ottawa in 2003.
Function
Encloses lower changer and lets liquid anaesthetic drop into rubber bag.
Technical
“The Somnoform mixture of ethyl chloride, methyl chloride and ethyl bromide in proportions of 60:35:5 was introduced by Georges Rolland, of Bordeaux, in 1901. The efficacy of the mixture was controversial. Its use was not longer accepted after 1931, though it was not until 1945 that Somnoform was reported to be an “irrational” mixture.” (ref.2) In practice, a capsule of Somnoform was cracked into a higher chamber and with the aid of a breaking device in a lower changer, the liquid dropped into a large rubber bag that hung off the base of the inhaler system. The inhaler was placed over the nose, a mouth cover was used to prevent respiration through the mouth; intake of air was controlled by a valve close to the mask.
