Context

Country: India
State/Province: Unknown
Period: 1985-unknow/inconnu
Canada: Brought to Nepal in 1985 by Dr. Maltby. Amené au Népal en 1985 par le Dr Maltby.
Function: Used to deliver anesthetic. Utilisé pour administrer un anesthésique.
Technical: Dr Maltby's note stated that the "Schimmelbusch mask was formerly used for open drop ether and chloroform anesthesia. Described in Notable Names in Anaesthesia pp190-192. (That is the title of Dr Maltby's book about the history of anesthesia.) I bought this one from a commercial exhibit at an Indian anaesthesia meeting c1992 as I had seen its routine use for Cesarean section in Nepal in 1985 (for details see Maltby JR, Malla DS. Open drop ether for Caesarean section: a review of 420 cases in Nepal. Canadian Anaesthetists' Society Journal 1986; 33: 652-656.) La note du Dr Maltby indique que "le masque de Schimmelbusch était autrefois utilisé pour l'anesthésie à l'éther et au chloroforme en gouttes ouvertes. Décrit dans Notable Names in Anaesthesia pp190-192. (C'est le titre du livre du Dr Maltby sur l'histoire de l'anesthésie.) J'ai acheté ce masque dans une exposition commerciale lors d'une réunion indienne sur l'anesthésie vers 1992, car j'avais vu son utilisation de routine pour une césarienne au Népal en 1985 (pour plus de détails, voir Maltby JR, Malla DS. Open drop ether for Caesarean section : a review of 420 cases in Nepal. Journal de la Société canadienne des anesthésistes 1986 ; 33 : 652-656).
