Anesthesia History Association's Each year the Anesthesia History Association awards the David M. Little Prize for the best work of anesthesia history published the previous year in English. The prize is named after Dr. David M. Little, longtime Chair of Anesthesia at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut. Dr. Little, who died in 1981, also wrote for many years the "Classical File" series of history columns for Survey of Anesthesiology.
2009
After the 2009 Little Prize was awarded, the editors of the Anaesthesia and Intensive Care brought to our attention a special note concerning the winning entry found at Anaesth Intensive Care 2009; 37 (Suppl 1): 5. The Little Prize Committee has reviewed this notice and believes the quality of the remaining undisputed work is sufficient to warrant the Prize. CO-WINNERS: Lowenstein E, McPeek B, eds.
