Helen Lamb Frost

Paper Summary:

This paper relates the accomplishments of Helen Lamb Frost, who revolutionized anesthesiology by establishing the School of Anesthesia in St. Louis, Missouri in 1921 (AANA, 2005). The author points out that School of Anesthesia (1) introduced a new organization to anesthesiology's medical and academic significance in the field of medicine, (2) assisted the emergence professional organization such as the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists or AANA and (3) developed the standards for using anesthesiology in the field of medicine. The paper stresses that Lamb 'humanized' anesthesiology as a science by Lamb, in order making it patients safer thus making them more receptive to the use of anesthesia before undergoing a crucial medical procedure or operation.

From the Paper:

"AANA's study on patient safety in the office setting is one such example. Hornsby, in his article entitled, "Anesthesia's New Frontier: Ensuring Patient Safety in the Office Setting," focused on introducing the new method of conducting "office-based surgery." This new concept is presented as a new way in which medical practitioners adapt to the changing lifestyles and environments that people find themselves in everyday. As in the case of most people who work inside offices, Hornsby and the AANA delved on the possibility of promoting safe "surgical and anesthesia care" in the office setting to people who find themselves unable to commit themselves to caring for their health and illnesses for fear of missing out on work."
