Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the impact of anaesthesia research on clinical practice. The evolution of neuromuscular blocking drugs from the laboratory to the operating room is used as an example. Particular emphasis is given to the pioneers whose vision made this possible: H. R. Griffith and G. E. Johnson; D. Savage, J. B. Stenlake and W. C. Bowman and J. Viby-Mogensen. Our challenge is to ensure the supply of clinical scientists for the future.
