The introduction of surgical anesthesia in Spain and its spread throughout the country between 1847 and 1848 was facilitated by several medical journals and new daily and political newspapers in existence at the time, particularly in Madrid. This study was undertaken to determine the possible impact of articles reporting the discovery of anesthesia that were published in the contemporary daily press. Research involved a review of the daily press in Madrid, where most newspapers were published. We found 141 references to events surrounding the introduction of anesthesia in Spain in 24 Madrid newspapers. Analysis of the articles revealed how the daily press contributed to the rapid dissemination of information about the discovery. The press provided an important means of spreading news about and popularizing anesthesia and was also an instrument for exchanging scientific opinion for Spanish surgeons of the day.
1847年至1848年间，西班牙外科麻醉的引入及其在全国的传播得益于当时现存的几份医学期刊以及新的日报和政治报纸，尤其是在马德里。本研究旨在确定当时日报上发表的报道麻醉发现的文章可能产生的影响。研究涉及对马德里日报的回顾，当时大多数报纸都在马德里出版。我们在24份马德里报纸上发现了141处提及西班牙引入麻醉相关事件的内容。对这些文章的分析揭示了日报是如何促进有关这一发现的信息迅速传播的。报纸提供了传播麻醉新闻和普及麻醉知识的重要手段，也是当时西班牙外科医生交流科学观点的工具。
