Period: Unknown
Canada: Part of a collection of medical technologies donated to the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation by the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. “Dr. Slater became Chief (Children’s Memorial Hospital) and proceeded to expand the department. He and his two staff, Drs. R.H. Ferguson and R. Cumming spread their expertise into new fields such as oxygen therapy, dental anaesthesia, poison control and other areas. However, the gold age of pediatric anaesthsia was beginning to pass from Montreal to its rival in Toronto. The Children’s Memorial Hospital failed to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. For example, its policy of salaried anaesthetists was maintained long after it should obviously have been abandoned. The hospital failed to undertake new building sufficiently early to accommodate the expanding field of paediatric (sic) surgery. Dr. Slater was deeply involved in the planning of the new 300 bed institution renamed the Montreal Children’s Hospital. However, when it opened in 1954, Dr. Slater had already departed during its final year of construction.” (ref.2)
Function: Covers mouth and nose in order to administer general inhalant anaesthetic. Designed for pediatric use.
