Abstract
When asked what, in my opinion, are the most outstanding advances to have taken place during my professional lifetime in anaesthesia, I reply that there are five; tracheal intubation, muscle relaxants, intravenous induction, halothane and the amide-linked local analgesic agents. In this communication I shall deal with the circumstances leading to the introduction of the last three of these.
