Abstract
The development of cardiothoracic anaesthesia has been, in my opinion, one of the most exciting events in anaesthetic practice over the last 50 years. It has been a combination of great skill and technological advancement. Thoracic anaesthesia has developed since 1900, with the vast expansion of practice dating from 1930. Cardiac anaesthesia, despite and early operation in 1925 for mitral stenosis, has largely developed since 1950.
