That was where Anesthesiologist Kenneth Keown came in. He devised elaborate techniques for anesthetizing the patients and running sensitive tests during surgery to make suwf that they did not slip over the line into permanent oblivion. If their hearts, at best always on the point of failure, showed signs of stopping during the drastic operation, Dr. Keown was ready with a battery of revivers. The surgeon would work better without the nagging fear and responsibility for the patient's minute-to-minute reactions. The Hahnemann team's technique has already saved thousands of lives and is becoming standard...

What they saw was a crew-cut man of 36, who still looks like the halfback he was in junior college (Graceland, Iowa), only 17 years ago. Appropriately, it was another young giant of anesthesiology, Chicago's Dr. Max Samuel Sadove, 39, who put a capstone on Keown's work. "Ken has shown us the way, and we've followed," said Sadove, who won wide medical acclaim for his work in keeping the Brodie twins alive through many...
Delicate Dozens. With their own adaptation of Dr. Keown's technique, surgical teams at the University of Illinois hospitals have performed 200 operations on the mitral valve without a single death in the operating room (and few deaths afterward). Dr. Sadove reported. Then he spelled out the dozens of delicate steps which the anesthesiologist takes in each such case.
