& Nikolai Pirogov
Nikolai Pirogov, the great Russian surgeon and one of the most outstanding personalities in Russian medicine was born on November 25, 1810.
Pirogov took part in four wars and tens of thousands of wounded passed through his hands. He was the first surgeon to make wide use of anesthesia at field hospitals. He made many experiments with animals and tested the effect of ether on himself and on his associate before using it as anesthetic in the clinic. It was only after he was convinced that ether anesthesia was absolutely harmless that he began to use it widely in his operations. Then Pirogov tested and began using another anesthetic – chloroform.
Pirogov was the first to open the door to the “bacteriological” era in medicine. Even before the discovery made by Louis Pasteur he had correctly defined the cause of the inflammation after the operation. To prevent wound infection he used substances all of which are still used by surgeons. He introduced a simple antiseptic field-dressing, the use of which brought good results.
Searching for ways to save wounded limbs, Pirogov arrived at the idea of the rigid plaster cast. During the heroic defense of Sevastopol in 1854-1855, working at the field hospitals, he employed rigid plaster casts and resection of joints instead of amputation. The rigid plaster cast is the pride of Russian surgery.
During the Crimean war Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov was very active. He gave assistance to wounded soldiers and officers. In besieged Sevastopol he worked out principles for giving medical assistance at the front.
Pirogov was the first medical man in Russia to use nurses to care for the sick and wounded in the fields. An advocate of women’s emancipation he greatly appreciated their modest and noble work.
He was the first man in the world to proclaim disease prevention a very important task of medicine. “The future belongs to preventive medicine”, he wrote.
