Summary
Regional anaesthesia has its origins in 1884, 38 years after the discovery of general anaesthesia, when Carl Koller instilled a solution of cocaine into a patient’s eye and performed glaucoma surgery ‘under local’. This landmark discovery led to an explosion of interest in blocking nerve conduction as surgeons looked for less dangerous alternatives to the general anaesthetic techniques then available.
