The work by James Young Simpson led to the widespread use of chloroform for labor analgesia and demonstrated an opportunity for safe and effective pain control. Simpson’s contributions were of the paramount importance for humanization of obstetric care and emergence of anesthesiology as an independent medical discipline, thereby highlighting a transition from the acceptance of pain to its targeted management.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Внедрение акушерской анестезии в XIX веке стало ключевым этапом в развитии медицины, изменившим представление о роли боли в родах. Деятельность Джеймса Янга Симпсона привела к широкому применению хлороформа для обезболивания родов и продемонстрировала возможность безопасного контроля болевого синдрома. Работы Симпсона способствовали гуманизации акушерской помощи и становлению анестезиологии как самостоятельной медицинской дисциплины, обозначив переход от принятия боли к ее целенаправленному контролю.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Джеймс Янг Симпсон</kwd><kwd>эфирный наркоз</kwd><kwd>хлороформ</kwd><kwd>история акушерства и гинекологии</kwd><kwd>анестезиология</kwd><kwd>история медицины</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>James Young Simpson</kwd><kwd>ether anesthesia</kwd><kwd>chloroform</kwd><kwd>history of obstetrics and gynecology</kwd><kwd>anesthesiology</kwd><kwd>history of medicine</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Долженко Е.С., Косицина Е.К.
