Anesthesia, also spelled anaesthesia, is the artificial induction of a loss of physical sensation-with or without consciousness-through the administration of drugs, inhalant gases, or other substances. Following his observation that inhaling nitrous oxide relieved pain, British chemist Sir Humphrey Davy proposed the use of anesthetic gases in surgery in 1798. Be that as it may, careful sedation was not shown with progress openly until 1846, when American specialist William Morton utilized ether during an activity to eliminate a jaw cancer at Massachusetts General Clinic in Boston.
