RESUMEN
Recientes investigaciones han permitido sacar a la luz los artículos que el doctor Ramón Alfaro publicó entre 1840 y 1868. A través de éstos es posible delinear al doctor Alfaro como un perseverante profesional de la medicina, imbuido de un particular espíritu científico que lo condujo a desarrollar cuidadosos trabajos de investigación en relación con los problemas médicos de la época. Uno de los primeros trabajos se refiere de manera específica al cloroformo. Así, el doctor Alfaro realizó una amplia revisión sobre el tema, comunicó la primera casuística de pacientes quirúrgicos sometidos a la anestesia inhalada y sentó las bases para una práctica anestésica más racional y segura.
ABSTRACT
Recent historical inquiries have shed light on a series of articles published between 1840 and 1868 by Ramón Alfaro M.D. His publications reflect the work of a persevering medical researcher who carried out studies of health conditions endemic at the time. One of his first publications is devoted to chloroform. In it, Dr. Alfaro made a careful assessment on the use of anesthesia, published the first statistical study of the impact of inhalational anesthesia in a number of surgical procedures, and was able to establish the foundations for more rational and safe anesthetic procedures.
