Neuroanesthesiology has a rich history. Although advances in research and clinical practice were cornerstones for the development of this field, other equally critical factors came into play. These include the development of subspecialty societies, formal dissemination of information through textbooks and journal publications, and, most importantly, strong leadership. This article reviews important advances within the subspecialty and many individuals behind those advances. The analysis and speculative synthesis provide insights into the current status of neuroanesthesiology and possible directions for the subspecialty's future.
神经外科学有着丰富的历史。尽管研究和临床实践的进步是该领域发展的基石，但其他同样关键的因素也起到了作用。这些因素包括专业学会的发展、通过教科书和期刊出版物正式传播信息，以及最重要的是，强有力的领导。本文回顾了该专业领域的重要进展以及这些进展背后的许多人。分析和推测性综合提供了对神经外科学当前状况的深入了解，并为该专业领域的未来发展方向提供了思路。
