The British anesthesiologist, Sir Ivan W. Magill (1888-1986) brought considerable energy and ingenuity to the job of working with plastic surgeons on cases of facial and jaw injuries sustained during WWI. Together with his colleague Dr. Stanley Rowbotham (1890-1979), he developed new methods which led to the current prominence of endotracheal anesthesia. The two men introduced a technique of blind intubation (placing an endotracheal tube through the nose into the larynx, without the aid of a laryngoscope), along with improved tools: an intubating forceps, and nasal tubes that were easier to use. These are still in use today.

In 1920, when British anaesthetist Ivan Whiteside Magill introduced these forceps, he and fellow anaesthetist Stanley Rowbotham had been administering anesthesia for surgeries on the face for about one and a half years. This was at London’s Queen’s Hospital for Facial and Jaw Injuries where patients came to have severe injuries and malformations of the face and mouth surgically corrected.

Because the surgeons often needed access to the areas that would be covered by a mask, the most common method of anesthesia at that time, open-drop ether would not work for these surgeries. Magill and Rowbothom used a less-established method of anesthesia called intratracheal insufflation. This involved passing a tube through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe) Anesthetic gas mixtures and air were continuously blown through the tube by a motorized pump.

Magill and Rowbotham are recognized for popularizing and advancing nasal intubation techniques. Nasal intubation is still used today when inserting a tube through the mouth is not feasible. The short article that introduced the new forceps was the first of many publications that document Ivan Magill’s pioneering contributions to the development of anesthesiology.

Magill described his forceps in 1920. Previously, breathing tubes would be inserted using a pliable metal rod (stylet). The rounded ends of the new forceps did less damage to the tissues of the nose and throat than could occur when using a stylet, while allowing a good grip on the tube. The bend in the handles moved the user’s own hand to one side, providing a clear view of the process. The forceps became popular for other uses, as well. Dr. Magill’s abilities, and his active leadership in the specialty, earned him numerous honors. He was knighted for his services to the Royal Family in 1946.

Note Type: General Notes: The early date in the date range for the possible year of manufacture is an estimate based on the decade (1940s) when the manufacture of surgical instruments in Pakistan began to increase significantly (Ahmed, 2010). The end date is also an estimate chosen because it is five years before the year that it was donated (2000). The date range could change if documentation indicates the range should be corrected.

Note Type: Historical Notes: Magill forceps are used to aid in the insertion of nasotracheal and gastric tubes, the placement of absorbent packs in the pharynx, and the removal of foreign bodies. The angle of the handles prevents the user’s hand from obstructing the view to the end of the forceps, where the work is being performed. Magill Forceps come in a variety of adult and pediatric sizes.

For surgeries where it was best not to have the tube enter through the mouth, Magill and Rowbotham developed a method that involved inserting the tube through one of the nasal passages (nasotracheal intubation). From the nasal passage, the tube entered the back of the throat where the forceps could be used to gently grasp the tube and guide it through the larynx (the voice-box and opening to the trachea). Later, Magill developed a method for nasotracheal intubation without the use of a laryngoscope (blind nasotracheal intubation).
