Andrew Doughty

Andrew Doughty was a leading anesthetist. In 1957, he invented the Doughty gag, with a split blade, (which allows use of an endotracheal tube) and is in universal use to this day. In 1973, he set up an epidural course at Kingston Hospital.

He was born in 1916 and qualified from St Thomas's Hospital in 1941. Doughty is now retired living in Thames Ditton.
