"Halothane is a clinical reference book edited by Nicholas M. Greene, MD, published as part of the Clinical Anesthesia series.
The book was released during a period of significant clinical interest in halothane, an inhalation anesthetic that was widely adopted for its non-flammable nature and rapid induction but later faced scrutiny regarding "halothane hepatitis".Nicholas Greene, a pioneer in anesthesiology and the founding chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at Yale University, compiled this volume to examine the pharmacology and clinical application of the drug. He was also well-known for his other major work, Physiology of Spinal Anesthesia."
From the author's 2005 obituary:
"Nicholas M. Greene, M.D., who has been described as one of the founding fathers of modern anesthesiology around the country and at Yale, died December 28 at age 82 in New Haven.
Founder of the Department of Anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine, Greene was also professor of anesthesiology at Yale and on the Yale-New Haven Hospital staff for 32 years. He served as chair and director of the department for 18 years.
During his distinguished career, Greene served 26 years as editor and then editor- in-chief of the journals Anesthesiology, and Anesthesia and Analgesia, the two major journals in the specialty in North America. Greene published several books and over 200 articles reflecting his interests in education and physiological changes associated with anesthesia, especially those produced by regional and local anesthesia, an interest formed while a fellow at the University of Edinburgh and the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in 1950. He also was a member of surgical and pharmacological advisory committees at the National Institute of Research in Bethesda, Maryland, in the 1960s and 1970s.
Dr. Greene served as president of the Association of University Anesthesiologists and the New England Societies of Anesthesiology. A member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Connecticut Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Society of Regional Anesthesiologists and the International Anesthesia Research Society, Greene was awarded several medals for his contributions to his field, including Columbia University?s College of Physicians and Surgeon?s silver medal on the occasion of its bicentennial, as well as medals from the Swedish Society of Anesthetists and the Koller gold medal from the European Society of Regional Anesthesia. He was awarded an honorary Master of Arts degree by Yale University and honorary Fellowship in the English Royal College of Anaesthetists. He was an honorary member of the Japan and Ugandan Societies of Anesthesia.".
