Abstract
Names with eponym status in present-day anesthesia include Apgar, Bier, Bovie, Esmarch, Fick, Foley, Ganz, Hofmann, Huber, Joule, Luer, Macintosh, Magill, Mallampati, Miller, Ovassapian, Pascal, Ringer, Seldinger, Sellick, Swan, Trendelenburg, Tuohy, Valsalva, and Yankauer. A discussion of the people behind the eponyms, which may make these commonly used terms more interesting and provides a sense of the history of the specialty of anesthesia, is presented.
