This historical-medical study proposed to determine the evolution of knowledge in Spanish anesthesiology by examining conferences and presentations at medical congresses on record for the period between the first Spanish medical congress (1864) and the start of the Spanish Civil War (1936). We have found reports of 34 scientific meetings held during this period. All but two included news on anesthesiology or related matters. Ten were international meetings, while 25 were nation-wide conferences. We have been able to arrive at a good understanding of Spanish anesthesiology's evolution as a scientific discipline during this period.
