During wartime, the availability and use of anesthetics for amputees varied significantly depending on the time period and the resources of the medical staff. In earlier conflicts, such as the American Civil War, anesthetics like ether and chloroform were used, but their availability was inconsistent. By World War I and II, advancements in anesthesia meant that most amputees received some form of anesthetic during surgery, though conditions on the battlefield could still limit access. Overall, while many amputees did receive anesthetics, the quality and efficacy could differ greatly based on circumstances.
