Historical Notes: Rudolph Matas & Anesthesia

In 1899, Dr. Rudolph Matas of New Orleans, Louisiana, anesthetized a patient by "spinal subarachnoid method" for surgery. His report, the first on the subject in the U.S. was "The Growing Importance and Value of Local and Regional Anesthesia in Minor and Major Surgery," Transaction of the Louisiana State Medical Society (April 1900):1-78. Matas performed the first successful preplanned attempt at intraspinal cocainization.
