Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr is reputed to be the first person to use anaesthetic. The invention of anaesthetic, also called narcosis, is not that old. The first successful operation under anaesthetic was carried out in 1847. On that occasion chloroform was used. This method was slightly more effective than the ether that had previously also been used as an anaesthetic. Chloroform was used mainly by dentists to alleviate the patient's pain. For this purpose special anaesthetic masks were invented. The oldest known anaesthetic masks is that of the Amsterdam dentist Salomon Nathans Dentz Jr. Under the mouth and nose sections are sponges which hold the chloroform. This slowly anaesthetises the patient and keeps him under narcosis. Once the patient is unconscious the flap can be removed from the mouth and the operation can begin.
He invented anaesthetics
Hard to say as there is evidence of prehistoric operations, like trepanations And also from prehistoric knowledge of anesthesics like opium.

Antiseptics began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, notably with Joseph Lister's introduction of carbolic acid as a surgical antiseptic in 1867. Anaesthetics were first widely used in the 1840s, with ether and chloroform being popularized for surgery. The development of these medical advancements significantly improved surgical outcomes and patient comfort.
