Abstract

It took only just over a year after William Morton showed the feasibility of surgical anesthesia to demonstrate the marked effects of volatile anesthetic agents on the heart. On 28 January 1848, Hannah Greener, aged 15, was the first patient to die during chloroform anesthesia (presumably of ventricular fibrillation).
