Zusammenfassung:The article highlights the role of Soviet and Russian scientists in the study and implementation in medical practice of ultra-pure xenon (Xe), whose characteristics are almost identical to an ideal anesthetic gas [ 1 ]. Emphasis is placed on the remarkable therapeutic properties of Xe revealed by anesthesiologists as well as during its use as a drug. Anesthesia and respiratory devices and modern equipment to adapt the devices to work with medical xenon are presented.
