[Anesthesia and techniques for the resuscitation of drowned persons].

Close relations between anaesthesia and resuscitation technology are mutual. The concept of medical emergency took place around the history of respiratory resuscitation which allowed the growth of insuflation technology. The anaesthetist used those ways of respiratory resuscitation in order to interfer with anaesthesia complications; he introduced the artificial ventilation into the operating theatre and, later on, into future intensive care rooms.
