Anaesthetics Storyboard 1.2. 3. 4.
Slide 9
Anaesthetics Storyboard 1.Before anaesthetics patients had to
be restrained or held down due to the pain of surgery. 2.In 1799
Humphrey Davy discovered Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) could be used
to help with pain relief. 3.BUTit did not work on everyone and some
people were still in agony during surgery. 4.Ether was first used
in the UK by Robert Liston, and he successfully amputated a leg
using it as an anaesthetic.

Anaesthetics Storyboard 5.6. 7. 8.
Slide 11

1847. 7.He first tested it on his friends and found it to be an
excellent anaesthetic. 8.However, a lot of patients died because

Slide 12
Antiseptics Storyboard 1.2. 3. 4.
Slide 13
Antiseptics Storyboard 1.In early surgeries doctors would often
operate in blood stained clothes and would not wash their
instruments. 2.Louis Pasteur discovered microbes and wrote his Germ
Theory of Disease. 3.Joseph Lister read Pasteurs work and
understood that germs were responsible for infection in surgeries.

Antiseptics Storyboard 5.6. 7. 8.
Slide 15
Antiseptics Storyboard 5.Lister experimented using carbolic
acid in an operation to repair a compound fracture it was a
success! 6.Lister developed a device (called the donkey engine) to
spray carbolic acid in operating theatres. 7.Some doctors opposed
the use of carbolic acid because they did not believe in germs and
spraying the operating theatre was time consuming. 8.Some people
opposed the use of carbolic acid simply because it was knew, but
also because it would irritate the skin.

Bleeding Storyboard 1.2. 3. 4. 5.
Slide 17
Bleeding Storyboard 1.Early blood transfusions would often use
animal blood which would not work. 2.Human transfusions were more
successful but no one could explain why they sometimes worked and
sometimes didnt. 3.Blood groups were discovered in 1901 by Karl
Landsteiner. 4.Transfusions were successful when the two people
were of the same blood group. 5.If the two people were of different
blood groups, the blood would clot and the patient would die.
