Abstract
It has been known for some time that carbon dioxide can act as a local anaesthetic. In 1858 Ch. Ozanam [1] showed that it is also a general anaesthetic. The ability of carbon dioxide to produce general narcosis was then subsequently studied more closely by, among others, Samson [2], Paul Bert [3], and Grehant [4].
