Abstract

The year 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of Anesthesia & Analgesia, the longest-running anesthesiology publication in the world. Founded in 1922 as Current Researches in Anesthesia & Analgesia by the visionary and charismatic Francis McMechan, MD, the journal served as a reliable mirror for the key scientific and political issues facing the nascent specialty of anesthesiology. Under the leadership of 6 subsequent Editors-in-Chief over the ensuing century-Howard Dittrick, MD; T. Harry Seldon, MD; Nicholas M. Greene, MD; Ronald D. Miller, MD; Steven L. Shafer, MD; and Jean-Francois Pittet, MD-Anesthesia & Analgesia has grown in size, circulation, and impact. Today, it remains a formidable voice in the global anesthesia community.
