Sadeghi, the congress secretary, believed that the long history of medicine in Iran and in the Muslim world was a precious uncovered jewel that has lost some of its glitters but there is a great deal of efforts to reinstate the past glory. He exemplified the recent knowledge [on anesthesiology and intubation] in comparison with the ancient texts depicting advanced understandings of the sciences in the past.
Dr. Zahid Hussain Khan, the scientific secretary of the congress, thanking Iranian authorities for holding the congress, called Avicenna as one who had conceptualized intratracheal intubation and even use of fiberoscopy.
