The terms 'analgesia' and 'anaesthesia' have been defined by emphasizing differing aspects of their effects. The distinction between these interventions has not been clarified by their definitions. The historical remedies for pain were similarly unclear. This lack of clarity is apparent in the introduction of chloroform in childbirth, which has much in common with the introduction and effects of epidural analgesia. The reasons for and benefits of this lack of clarity are examined.
“镇痛”和“麻醉”这两个术语是通过强调其效果的不同方面来定义的。这些干预措施之间的区别并未通过其定义得到阐明。历史上治疗疼痛的方法同样不明确。这种不明确在分娩中引入氯仿的情况中很明显，这与硬膜外镇痛的引入和效果有许多共同之处。本文探讨了这种不明确的原因和益处。
