Vaporizer
notes: label: Description
content: Halothane (Fluothane) is a liquid anesthetic introduced in the 1950s. Victor Goldman (1903–1994), an English physician who specialized in dental anesthesia, introduced a small halothane vaporizer in 1956. This is an example of his second model, introduced in 1962. It was used to convert liquids into gases suitable for anesthetic purposes. Max Ming-Kwai Zung (ca. 1922-2008), the donor, was an anesthesiologist who studied at Columbia University and worked in Washington, D.C.
