🥳😴 HAPPY WORLD ANESTHESIA DAY 🥳😴

On April 28 1999, CAS marked the first 🇨🇦 Anesthesia Day, modelled after a similar public awareness campaign in Australia. Nowadays, it is an international event, on the Oct 16 anniversary of the Ether Dome public demonstration in 1846. 🌍

It's #WorldAnaesthesiaDay ⚕️

William TG Morton was the first to use ether as a surgical anaesthetic in 1846 🧪

Here are some anaesthesia items from our museum collection 🏛️
