Abstract
The development of anesthesiology was one of the turning points in the history of medicine. Its development as a specialty was influenced by many pioneers of neurosurgery. Victor Horsley, Harvey Cushing, William McEwen and many others made significant contributions to the evolution of anesthesiologic techniques, increasing safety of surgical interventions and ultimately contributing to the development of neuroanesthesiology as an independent medical profession.
