Based on the importance of document files and first-hand bibliographic sources for studying the history, we have recently investigated the chapter of Doctoral Thesis and Reports on anesthetic topics since we believe that these are fundamental to gain insight into the knowledge of our history. This investigation was planned to find such documents by reviewing the data of several Spanish archives and libraries. We collected 80 works: 14 Reports and 66 Doctoral Theses performed during a period of 95 years (heuristic limits 1847-1942). These papers were classified in several subgroups according to the subjects they deal with: 21 works on inhalation anesthesia, 7 on intravenous general anesthesia, 20 on spinal anesthesia, 10 on locoregional, 7 on anesthesia and metabolism, 12 on obstetric anesthesia, and 3 works on varied anesthesia issues. Analysis of these documents revealed that the authors (physicians and Spanish medical corporations) undertook an accurate consideration of the more relevant scientific subjects at the time of their investigation. We conclude that the works analyzed in the present study represented the beginning of the Spanish investigation on anesthesia. Further investigations may contribute to enrich our historiography.
鉴于文献档案和一手书目资料对研究历史的重要性，我们最近对麻醉学主题的博士论文和报告章节进行了调查，因为我们认为这些对于深入了解我们的历史知识至关重要。这项调查旨在通过查阅几个西班牙档案馆和图书馆的数据来查找此类文献。我们收集了80篇作品：14份报告和66篇博士论文，这些作品创作于95年期间（启发式范围为1847 - 1942年）。这些论文根据其所涉及的主题分为几个子组：21篇关于吸入麻醉，7篇关于静脉全身麻醉，20篇关于脊髓麻醉，10篇关于局部区域麻醉，7篇关于麻醉与代谢，12篇关于产科麻醉，以及3篇关于各种麻醉问题。对这些文献的分析表明，作者（医生和西班牙医学团体）在进行研究时对当时更相关的科学主题进行了准确的考量。我们得出结论，本研究中分析的作品代表了西班牙麻醉学研究的开端。进一步的研究可能有助于丰富我们的史学研究。
