Dr. Umer Sufyan M provides a detailed history of the development of anesthesia from ancient times to the modern era. Some key points include:
- Prior to the 19th century, various crude methods were used for anesthesia including strangulation, cold, and herbal remedies. Surgery was extremely painful and mortality rates were high.
- In the 19th century, experimentation with inhaled gases like nitrous oxide, ether, and chloroform led to the first demonstrations of effective surgical anesthesia. William Morton performed the first public demonstration using ether in 1846.
- James Young Simpson helped popularize the use of chloroform in the mid-19th century. John Snow later used

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Anaesthesia is a reversible condition of comfort,
quiescence and physiological stability in a patient before,
during and after performance of a procedure.
General anaesthesia is for surgical procedure to render
the patient unaware / unresponsive to the painful stimuli.
3. Pre-1846 - the foundations of anaesthesia
1846 - 1900 - establishment of anaesthesia
20th Century - consolidation and growth
21st Century - the future
4. SOME STRANGE METHODS OF ANAESTHESIA
• Strangulation – Assyrians
• Cerebral concussion
• Applying intense cold or compression
5. Status of surgery
Barber shop surgeons
Types of surgery
Amputations & dental
extractions
No antisepsis
Appalling mortality
Indications
Unbearable pain
Crippling deformity
Imminent death
Surgeons used to boast of speed of surgery
7. Middle Ages the anesthetic effects of cold water and ice were
recognized.
In 17th century, Marco Aurelio Severino described the
technique of “refrigeration anesthesia” in which snow was
placed in parallel lines across the incisional plane such that
the surgical site became insensate within minutes. The
technique never became widely used, likely because of the
challenge of maintaining stores of snow year-round.
8. manipulation of the psyche to relieve surgical pain was
undertaken by French physicians Charles Dupotet and Jules
Cloquet in the late 1820s with hypnosis, then called
mesmerism.
Greek physician from the first century AD, commented on
the analgesia of mandragora, a drug prepared from the bark
and leaves of the mandrake plant. He observed that the plant
substance could be boiled in wine, strained, and used “in the
case of persons … about to be cut or cauterized, when they
wish to produce anesthesia.”Mandragora was still being used
to benefit patients as late as the 17th century.
9. Alcohol was another element of the pre-ether
armamentarium because it was thought to induce stupor and
blunt the impact of pain
Laudanum was an alcohol-based solution of opium first
compounded by Paracelsus in the 16th century. It was wildly
popular in the Victorian and Romantic periods, and
prescribed for a wide variety of ailments from the common
cold to tuberculosis. it was frequently misused and abused.
Laudanum was given by nursemaids to quiet wailing infants
and abused by many upper-class women, poets, and artists
who fell victim to its addictive potential.
10. In 1773 Nitrous oxide was first prepared by Joseph Priestley.
In 1799 Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently
relieved a severe headache, obliterated a minor headache,
and briefly quenched an aggravating toothache. quoted ; “As
nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of
destroying physical pain, it may probably be used with
advantage during surgical operations in which no great
effusion of blood takes place.”Davy's lasting nitrous oxide
legacy was coining the phrase “laughing gas” to describe its
unique property.
11. 1818: Michael Faraday (1791-1867) described “narcotic effects”
of ether
1821: Benjamin Brodie (1783-1862) demonstrated to Royal
College of Surgeons that ether inhalation could induce
insensibility in a guinea pig - “….ether acted like a narcotic
poison……”
In 1831 David Waldie suggested
chloroform, which had first been prepared.
Benjamin Brodie
Michael Faraday
12. Horace well
In Dec 10 1844 Horace Wells observed a lecture-exhibition
on nitrous oxide by an itinerant “scientist,” Gardner Quincy
Colton, who encouraged members of the audience to inhale a
sample of the gas. Wells observed a young man injure his leg
without pain while under the influence of nitrous oxide.
Sensing that it might provide pain relief during dental
procedures, Wells contacted Colton and boldly proposed
13. Horace Wells, The next day Wells had a tooth extracted
while breathing nitrous oxide. An attempt in 1845 by Wells
to demonstrate his discovery at the Massachusetts General
Hospital in Boston ended in failure when the patient cried
out and nitrous oxide fell into disuse.
14. In january 1842 William E. Clarke, a medical student from
Rochester, New York, given the first ether anesthetic.
Clarke entertained his companions with nitrous oxide and
ether. By these experiences, he administered ether, from a
towel, to a young woman named Hobbie. One of her teeth
was then extracted without pain by a dentist named Elijah
Pope but it was suggested that the woman's unconsciousness
was due to hysteria and Clarke was advised to conduct
no further anesthetic experiments.
15. March 30, 1842, Crawford Williamson Long administered
ether with a towel for surgical anesthesia in Jefferson,
Georgia. His patient, James M. Venable, was a young man
who was already familiar with ether's exhilarating effects,
enable had two small tumors on his neck but refused to have
them excised because he feared the pain that accompanied
surgery.
Knowing that Venable was familiar with ether's action,
16. Dr. Long proposed that ether might alleviate pain and gained
his patient's consent to proceed. After inhaling ether from the
towel and having the procedure successfully completed,
Venable reported that he was unaware of the removal of the
tumors. In determining the first fee for anesthesia and
surgery, Long settled on a charge of $2.00.
17. In 1846 William T.G. Morton, a Boston dentist and medical
student, performed the first public demonstration of general
anesthesia using diethyl ether.
William T G Morton
“Inventor and Revealer of
Inhalational Anaesthesia:
Before Whom, in All Time,
Surgery was Agony;
By Whom, Pain in Surgery
was Averted and Annulled;
Since Whom, Science has
Control of Pain.”
18. Oct 16 1846 Gilbert Abbott underwent surgical excision of a
neck tumor at the Massachusetts General Hospital in the
operating room now known as "the ether dome." The era of
modern anesthesia and a revolution in the medical care of the
surgical patient had begun.
19. Nov 4 1847 James young Simpson and his friends inhaled
chlorofom after dinner at a party in Simpson's home on the
evening and they promptly fell unconscious and, when they
awoke, were delighted with their success. Simpson quickly
set about encouraging the use of chloroform.
20. The relief of obstetric pain had significant social
ramifications and made anesthesia during childbirth a
controversial subject.
Simpson argued against the prevailing view, which held that
relieving labor pain opposed God's will. Simpson asserted
that labor pain was a result of scientific and anatomic causes,
and not the result of religious condemnation.
He did articulate many concepts that his contemporaries
were debating at the time.
21. John Snow (1813-1858)
Chlorofom Popularised by James.Y.Simpson & practiced by
John Snow
John Snow used chlorofom to deliver the last two children of
Queen Victoria
Snow gave analgesic doses of chloroform on a folded
handkerchief. This technique was soon termed
“chloroform à la reine”
Victoria abhorred the pain of childbirth and enjoyed the
relief that chloroform provided. She wrote in her
journal, “Dr. Snow gave that blessed chloroform and
the effect was soothing, quieting, and delightful beyond
measure.”
22. In 1934 The anesthetic properties of cyclopropane were
discovered accidentally by Ralph Waters chemists
analyzing impurities in propylene.
In 1956 came the introduction of halothane by Charles
Suckling, a nonflammable volatile halogenated alkane that
quickly became the dominant anesthetic.
23. DEFINITION:
General anaesthetics are the drugs which produce reversible
loss of all sensations and consciousness.
FEATURES OF GENERAL ANAESTHETICS:
Loss of all sensations particularly, pain
Sleep and amnesia
Immobility and muscle relaxation
Abolition of reflexes
23
24. GENERAL ANAESTHETICS
LOCAL
ANAESTHETICS
Act on CNS.
Whole body is involved.
Consciousness is lost.
Care of vital functions is
essential.
Can be given in non-cooperative
pts.
Preferred in major
surgeries.
Act on peripheral nerves.
Restricted areas of body
involved.
Consciousness is
unaltered.
Care of vital functions –
not essential.
Not possible in non-cooperative
pts.
Preferred in minor
surgeries.
24
25. STAGES OF ANAESTHESIA:
By GUEDEL in 1920 referring to the anaesthetic
Ether
Stage I. Stage of analgesia:
Starts from beginning of anaesthetic inhalation and lasts
upto the loss of consciousness.
No amnesia ,Conciousness and sense of touch present
Stage II. Stage of excitement and delirium:
Patient shows violent combative behaviour but definitely
amnesic
Irregular rise in BP &RR
25
26. Stage III. Surgical Anaesthesia:
Regular respiration and relaxation of skeletal muscle occurs
Plane 1 - Roving eyeballs, respiration and skeletal muscle
tone are normal.
Plane 2 - Loss of corneal & laryngeal reflexes, respiration is
slow but regular.
Plane 3 - Dilatation of pupil , loss of light, corneal and
laryngeal reflexes.
Plane 4 - Complete muscle relaxation, pupils dilated,
respiration is abdominal
26
27. Stage IV . Medullary paralysis:
Stage appears due to overdosing
Severe deppression of respiratory centre as well as
vasomotor center in medulla, this stage is fatal and death
ensue .
27
28.
29. MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Ligand gated ion channels are the major targets
GABA A - R gated Cl- channel :– inhalational
anaesthetics, barbiturates, BZD, propofol, potentiate the
action of inhibitory transmitter GABA to open Cl-channel.
Glycine: – in the spinal cord & medulla is augmented by
barbiturates , propofol & inhalational anaesthetics
Fluorinated anaesthetics & barbiturates: – inhibit neuronal
cation channel gated by nicotinic cholinergic receptor
30. N2O & ketamine inhibit the excitatory NMDA type of
glutamate receptor.
GA inhibit release of the presynaptic excitatory
neurotransmitters. Also alter the postsynaptic responsiveness to
the released neurotransmitter by increasing the activity of the
inhibitory ion channels in the post synaptic receptors and
enhance inhibitory neurotransmission within the CNS
31. Main site of causation of ;
Unconsciousness → Thalamus or RAS
Amnesia → Hippocampus
Immobility on surgical stimulation → Spinal cord.
Important properties which determine the potency of
inhalational anaesthetics :-
MAC value
Blood-gas partition coefficient
31
32. MAC(minimum alveolar conc.):
It is the conc. of anaesthetic required to prevent
movement in 50% of patients in response to a standard
surgical incision.
Smaller MAC value- more potent is the anaesthetic.
Anaesthetic with high lipid solubility has lower MAC
value
Methoxyflurane - most potent with least MAC value.
Nitrous oxide - least potent with highest MAC value.
32
33. BLOOD-GAS PARTITION COEFFICIENT:
Determined by solubility of an agent in the blood.
It determines the speed of onset & recovery of an
anaesthetic drug.
Greater the blood-gas partition effect, lesser is the speed
of onset & recovery.
Desflurane is the fastest acting drug as it has least BGP
coefficient.
33
34. Open system
Open is the old fashioned method of dropping
ether or chloroform over a gauze or lint. Later
modernised by the likes of the Schimmelbusch
mask.

Breathing Circuits
35. In the early 1950’s, Prof. WW Mapleson from University of
Wales, Cardiff, classified the several breathing systems
around depending on what components they contained and
what position they took in the system.
It is known today as ‘The Mapleson Alphabet’
Partial rebreathing is allowed through a partially closed
valve.conditions are intermediate with moderate flow rates.
36. Closed system
Closed systems use a CO2
absorbent so that the gases
are re-circulated, the
classification is defined by
the amount of fresh gas flow.
Sodalime are used to absorb
co2.Preferred in conditions
with high production of co2.
39. NITROUS OXIDE:
Colourless ,odourless non irritating and non-inflammable gas.
Good analgesic but weak anaesthetic agent due to high MAC.
Produces analgesia when inhaled in a conc. of 35- 40% with air.
ENTONOX - 50% Nitrous oxide + 50% Oxygen.
If administered along with air, produces a stage of excitement and
delirium and also produces amnesia. hence, it is known as
laughing gas.
Safest anaesthetic agent. Has no serious, deleterious effects on
circulation, respiration, liver and kidneys.
39
40. SECOND GAS EFFECT –Nitrous oxide is insoluble in
blood and thus rapid induction and rapid reuptake of
Nitrous oxide from alveolar gas leads to rapid rise in
concentration of coadministered halogenated anaesthetic
agent and it increases the speed of induction of these
volatile anaesthetic agents
When anaesthetic is discontinued ;the anaesthetic moves
from blood to alveoli.
40
41. In case of NO the amount may be about 10% of expired
volume and this may be sufficient to reduce the alveolar
partial pressure of oxygen causing transient mild Hypoxia
known as Second Effect & the hypoxia is called Diffussion
hypoxia.
This hypoxia can be prevented by administration of 100%
oxygen 5-10 min after discontinuing nitrous oxide
42. Therapeutic uses:
Tooth extraction.
Obstetric analgesia.
Painful procedures such as change of dress in burns pts,
cleaning and debridement of wounds and cauterisation
Used as a carrier gas for inhalational agents like
Halothane.
42
43. Advantages:

45
46. Disadvantages:
Inflammable and explosive.
Induction and recovery are slow.
Irritant and may cause nausea and vomiting.
Increase in salivary and bronchial secretion may
cause cough or laryngeal spasm.
46
47. HALOTHANE:
Volatile liquid structurally similar to chloroform with a
characteristic sweetish & fruity odour.
Produces loss of consciousness in a conc. of 2 - 3% in
oxygen vapour.
P/K
60-80% of halothane is eliminated unchanged through
lungs in first 24 hrs. About 20% is retained in the body
and is metabolized.
47
48. Advantages:
Non-irritant and non inflammable.
Inhibit pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes, making tracheal
intubation easy.
Potent anesthetic , speedy induction & recovery
Inhalational agent of choice in bronchial asthma.
Disadvantages:
Special apparatus is required.
Causes malignant hyperthermia in susceptible individuals.
Halothane induced hepatitis.
48
49. Causes hypotension by direct depression of
myocardium .
Sensitizes heart to catecholamines causing cardiac
arrhythmias.
Can raise intracranial tension due to cerebral
vasodilatation.
49
50. MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA:
Autosomal dominant inheritance.
Features- rapid rise in body temp, muscle rigidity,
tachycardia, hyperkalemia, rhabdomyolysis, acidosis.
Physiology - caused by heat production in skeletal
muscle due to excessive release of calcium from
sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Associated with mutations in the gene encoding for
RYANODINE receptors which controls calcium release
from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
50
51. Triggered by halogenated anaesthetics and neuromuscular
blocking drugs.
The most reliable test to establish genetic susceptibility is the
caffeine-halothane contracture test using skeletal muscle biopsy
tissue.
Diagnosis - increase co2, rise in creatine kinase levels,
myoglobinuria, muscle biopsy.
Treatment - early detection, hyperventilation, IV
Dantrolene(1mg/kg), ice packs/cooling blankets, lasix/
mannitol / fluids.
51
52. ENFLURANE:
Anaesthesia by enflurane resembles to anaesthesia by
halothane
Non irritant and non inflammable .
Like halothane it causes hypotension.

56. 56
INTRAVENOUS ANAESTHETICS
THIOPENTONE SODIUM:
Ultra short acting barbiturate which induces anaesthesia
within a minute.
Crosses BBB rapidly following an I.V. bolus inj
Due to its high lipid solubility diffuses rapidly out of brain
and is redistributed to body fats, muscles and other tissues.
Induction dose is 3-5 mg/kg.
57. 57
Therapeutic uses;
Induction of general anaesthesia.
As anaesthetic agent for operations of short duration like
fracture reduction, dilatation and curettage, laryngoscopy and
bronchoscopy.
In pts with H/O malignant hyperthermia.
As an anticonvulsant in emergency treatment of intractable
seizures.
58. 58
Adverse effects:
Laryngospasm may occur when intubation is attempted
while anaesthesia is light.
No muscle relaxant activity.
No analgesic activity.
Bronchospasm hence contraindicated in asthmatics.
Can ppt fulminant attack in acute intermittent porphyria.
59. 59
ETOMIDATE:
Similar to thiopental in all aspects but rapidly metabolised
than thiopental& causes less hangover.
Less cardiovascular & respiratory depression than thiopental.

62. 62
KETAMINE:
It is related to phencyclidine.
Acts as an antagonist at NMDA receptors.
Potent bronchodilator.
It induces a state of DISSOCIATIVE ANAESTHESIA
characterised by complete analgesia combined with amnesia
and sedation without actual loss of consciousness. Patient
can open his eyes & can obey instructions.
63. 63
Anesthesia can be induced by both IM (5-10 mg/kg) and
IV(1-2 mg/kg) routes.
It increases BP, heart rate and CO by raising blood levels of
Nor adrenaline. Can be used in pts with shock.
It should be avoided in pts with ischaemic heart disease.
Therapeutic uses:

65. 65
Contraindications:
Pts suffering from HTN, cardiac decompensation or
cerebrovascular accident.
During operations of eye as it ↑ intraocular pressure.
Barbiturates & Diazepam are chemically incompatible with
ketamine.So, they should never be administered from same
syringe.
66. 66
METHOHEXITONE:
3 times more potent than thiopentone.
Induces seizures, so it is an agent of choice for
electroconvulsive therapy.
MIDAZOLAM:
Short acting BZD .
Used in premedication as IM or for sedation as IV in
endoscopic procedures.
It is water soluble & less irritant to veins than Diazepam.
67. PREANAESTHETIC MEDICATION:
Drugs used prior to the administration of an anaesthetic
agent to make anaesthesia more safer & more agreeable to
the pt. It is given ;
For sedation to reduce anxiety & apprehension.
To obtain an additive or synergistic effect so that induction
is smooth & rapid.
To counteract some adverse effects of anaesthetic drugs
such as salivation, bradycardia & vomiting.
To relieve pre and post operative pain.
68. to suppress respiratory secretions and to reduce reflex
excitability.
Usually, a combination of drugs are used. Most commonly used
drugs for preanaesthetic medication are:
OPIOID ANALGESICS - morphine(10-15mg IM), pethidine(50-
100 mg IM), buprenorphine(300 mcg IM).These drugs possess
very strong analgesic activity.
- may depress respiration & cause resp.arrest.
- may cause vasomotor depression.
- may induce vomiting & cause antidiuresis.
69. SEDATIVES - BZD are preferred because of their safety,
muscle relaxant property and less resp.depression.
ANTIMUSCARINIC DRUGS - Anticholinergic drugs (eg,
atropine and glycopyrrolate) may be used to decrease
oral and airway secretions and to treat bradycardia;
H2 BLOCKER/PROTON PUMP INHIBITOR –
Ranitidine (150mg)/famotidine (20mg)/
omeprazole (20mg ) given night before and in the
morning reduces chance of regurgitation.
69
70. ANTIEMETICS – Metoclopramide 10-20mg IM
preoperatively effective in reducing post operative vomiting
Domperidone is nearly as effective and doesn't produce
extrapyramidal side effects
71. NEUROLEPT ANALGESIA:
Neuroleptics- drugs which induce state of apathy and
mental detachment- pt is mildly sedated & uncaring about
his surroundings.
Neurolept analgesia – combined use of neuroleptic drug
with an opioid analgesic.
Most commonly used combination is the neuroleptic
Droperidol 2.5 mg and opioid analgesic Fentanyl citrate
50 mcg.
71
72. Neurolept analgesia can be converted to Neurolept-anaesthesia
by concurrent administration of 65% Nitrous oxide and 35 %
