- Abstract
In Wisconsin, Ralph Waters became interested in carbon dioxide absorption techniques as a result of Jackson's work, but he was hampered by the lack of a readily available carbon dioxide absorber. Until a more perfect apparatus is made available, safety in the use of the carbon dioxid technic must lie in the intelligence and skill of the physician who utilizes the method.[1] Ralph Waters, 1943 In 1915, Dennis E Jackson, an American pharmacologist, described a complicated anaesthetic machine that allowed for the reuse of anaesthetic gases - sometimes for hours at a time.[2] Driven by the burgeoning cost of anaesthetic gases in his animal research laboratory, he managed to drop the cost of his anaesthetics from US$2.50 to 32 cents an hour with the machine. Factors influencing carbon dioxide absorption during anesthesia.
