RESUMO
Buenos Aires' González Varela Library-Museum exhibits a possibly unique Lundy Rochester Model of Heidbrink Kinet-O-Meter anesthesia machine. Surveyed anesthesia libraries or museums reported no identical model of anesthesia machine or literature specific to same. Machine markings and the flowmeter patent helped narrow the year of manufacture to circa 1936.

Dr. Estela Melman (1939-present), Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, the American British Cowdray Medical Center, Mexico, is an influential pioneer who has shaped the scope and practice of pediatric anesthesia in Mexico and throughout the world. Her early work to reintroduce neural blockade into routine pediatric anesthetic care, particularly the caudal approach to the epidural space, helped to transform current anesthesia practice. Based on a series of interviews held with Dr. Melman between 2016 and 2017, this article reviews the remarkable career of a pioneering pediatric anesthesiologist.
