World Anaesthesia Day 2025 | Celebrating a Century of Comfort and Courage

Today, we join the global surgical community to celebrate World Anaesthesia Day, a tribute to the discovery that revolutionized modern medicine and made pain-free surgery possible.

From the first successful public demonstration of ether anaesthesia on October 16, 1846, to today’s advanced techniques in regional, general, and total intravenous anaesthesia, this field continues to define what’s possible in the operating room.

Behind every successful surgery lies the expertise of an anaesthetist, ensuring safety, stability, and compassion when patients are most vulnerable.

At The Operating Room Global Journal (TORGJ), we honor anaesthesia professionals worldwide whose dedication sustains the heartbeat of every operating room.

Read insightful research and contribute your work to our growing body of surgical knowledge:
