The object of our study is to amplify the knowledge of Spanish anesthesiology in the 19th century analyzing the role filled by El Telégrafo Médico (1847-1850) at the introduction of anesthesiology in Spain. We have obtained 32 articles on anaesthesiology. Ten of them (31,25%) were written by Spanish authors and 22 (68,75%) by foreign authors. Eleven articles refer to ether, 17 to chloroform and 4 to other anesthetics. Spanish medical professionals received relevant information about this subject from this medical journal edited in Barcelona.
