Biography Historical Article[Carl Ludwig Schleich--pioneer exclusively in infiltration anesthesia?].
The development of local anaesthesia is connected with the name of Carl Ludwig Schleich, a Berlin surgeon. His method, the so-called "infiltration anaesthesia", did not receive due attention from his surgeon colleagues right from the beginning. This, however, was partly a fault of Schleich himself. ⋯ Schleich experienced the same ignorance and refusal when he demanded that only specially trained physicians should perform any kind of anaesthesia. Moreover, these specialists should be responsible for the training of younger colleagues, a revolutionary concept at that time in Germany. Unfortunately, all these ideas and efforts of Schleich to develop a new concept of anaesthesia techniques have fallen into oblivion, a concept that started with his "infiltration anaesthesia" 100 years ago.
