Biographical Note

Dr. John Adriani (1907-1988) was a nationally known anesthesiologist who played a key role in anesthesiology's evolution into a full-blown medical specialty. A physician of many talents, he earned his reputation as a researcher, writer, teacher and drug consultant. Born to an Italian-American family on December 2, 1907 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he received his M.D. in 1934 from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons and completed a one-year surgical internship at the French Hospital in New York City. Adriani then chose to join a small group of physicians who were attempting to professionalize the practice of anesthesia. After five years of training under the pioneer anesthesiologist Emery A. Rovenstine at Bellevue Hospital in New York, he was appointed Director of Anesthesiology at Charity Hospital in New Orleans in 1941 and served in many other top administrative capacities at the hospital through the 1960s.

Beginning in the 1950s, Adriani became prominent in many areas of drug development, evaluation, and regulation in the United States. Adriani published the now classic anesthesia texts The Pharmacology of Anesthetic Drugs and The Chemistry and Physics of Anesthesia; he developed the saddle block method of obstetric analgesia in 1947; he also carried out many research projects independently and for various pharmaceutical companies. He testified as an expert witness in hundreds of legal cases involving anesthesia. He held joint teaching appointments at the Tulane and Louisiana State University medical schools and taught the principles of anesthesiology to medical students, residents, nurses, dental students, and technicians for over four decades. He served on the American Board of Anesthesiology, on the American Medical Association's Council on Drugs (occupying its presidency from 1967 to 1971) and as a consultant to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on many different projects. He was an active member of the Academy of Anesthesiology, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the Association of University Anesthetists. He was on the Editorial Board of Anesthesiology and the Medical Tribune, as well as an advisor to The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics. In August of 1969, he accepted an appointment as Director of the FDA's Bureau of Medicine, only to have the offer withdrawn under apparent pressure from the pharmaceutical industry which resented his well-publicized support for generic prescribing. Adriani retired from his hospital administrative responsibilities at Charity Hospital in 1975 but continued to teach, write, consult and testify in legal cases until his death in June of 1988.

Collection Summary

The collection contains little material from Adriani's youth, and none from his childhood. Most of the collection reflects Adriani's career in anesthesiology after it began to flower in the late 1940s. The great bulk of the material dates from between the 1950s and the 1980s, and it consists mostly of typed correspondence, memoranda, reports, manuscripts and printed materials. Adriani maintained a personal correspondence for many years with FDA officials, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and Congressional staff as well as with other physicians. The collection will be of use to those researching the history of anesthesiology, nurse-anesthesia, medical education, the pharmaceutical industry and its regulation by the government, hospital administration, and health-care policy and planning in mid-twentieth century America.

The collection is organized into eleven major series.

Research, 1925-1988, 1.67 linear feet
	The Research Series consists of files concerning various research projects undertaken by Dr. Adriani and others between the 1930s and the 1980s. For the most part, these projects were executed without sponsorship.




	The first subseries consists of research undertaken by Adriani himself. Most significant are his introduction of saddle block anesthesia in the late 1940s, his comparative studies of topical analgesics in the 1950s, and his work on nitrous oxide exposure in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The series also contains projects carried out in the 1930s under the supervision of Emery A. Rovenstine at Bellevue, as well as a typed list of "Research in Progress or Contemplated" dated January 1, 1951. Much of the Research Series consists of informal handwritten notes, tables and graphs. Some of the files contain specific case records of named patients and have been marked [restricted]; consult the manuscripts curator for access to these files. Also included in this series are files containing research of other physicians and a few "quacks," including a negative report by Dr. Adriani on a ganglionic block developed by a Dr. Soresi (1947) and correspondence on a drug which allegedly "dissolved" atherosclerosis (1968-1969). A separate subseries has been established for Adriani's investigations into acupuncture in the early 1970's and his efforts to begin a research clinic on acupuncture at Charity Hospital. Fully half the material deals with his relations with James Ching-Hwa Chang, who ran an acupuncture clinic at Charity for five months in 1974. A third subseries consists of research performed by others.

Pharmaceutical Evaluations and Consulting, 1925-1988, 7.5 linear feet
	The Pharmaceutical Evaluations and Consulting Series contains material Adriani accumulated during his service as a pharmaceutical consultant to the federal government (especially to the Food and Drug Administration), to private organizations such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and its Council on Drugs, and to private industry. The material has been separated into four different subseries: evaluation of pharmaceutical products undertaken for private companies; evaluation of and consulting on pharmaceuticals undertaken by various committees and task groups for government agencies; evaluation of and consulting on pharmaceuticals undertaken by the AMA Council on Drugs; and materials on other advisory projects undertaken by Adriani.




		Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, 1949-1986
				The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers' subseries consists of correspondence with pharmaceutical manufacturers, both general and relating to specific drug products. More than twenty-five different firms are represented and perhaps forty drug products discussed. Adriani kept one set of files of general correspondence organized by manufacturer and another set organized by specific product. These have been combined, and the specific products are listed under the name of the manufacturer. Large or important files have been reorganized in forward chronological order; others have not been reorganized. Much of the correspondence is routine, but there are many letters of interest regarding research on and use of specific drugs. In light of some of his public stances, Adriani's relationship with the companies is intriguing. Some files contain case notes with specific patient names, and these have been marked [restricted]. Consult the manuscripts curator regarding access.

		AMA Council on Drugs Subseries, 1964-1988
				The second subseries consists of AMA Council on Drugs materials (1968-1972). This consists of correspondence with Council members and AMA staff, agendas, administrative memoranda, and some files related to specific drug issues. Much of the material deals with the publication of an article and editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association on "The Package Insert" in 1969, the writing and publication of the AMA-Drug Evaluation books in 1971 and 1972, and the dissolution of the Council on Drugs in 1972. There are a great many interesting items relating to drug evaluation and labelling, FDA relations, and AMA in-house politics. As with other files, Adriani's own letters predominate. There is also, however, much correspondence from others, including John Ballin, Harry Dowling, Thomas Hayes, Hugh Hussey, Max Parrott, Harry Shirkey and Jean Weston.

Governmental Activities, 1925-1988, 1.2 linear feet
	The Government Series contains Adriani's correspondence with Louisiana state government officials (except for the correspondence directly related to Charity Hospital, located in the Charity Hospital subseries) and with federal government officials (except for the material related to the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services, located in the Pharmaceutical Evaluations and Consulting series). Correspondents include Vincent Schiro, mayor of New Orleans; William J. "Billy" Guste, State of Louisiana attorney-general and state senator; Ben E. Bagert and Charles Emile Bruneau of the Louisiana state legislature; Hale Boggs, Corinne "Lindy" Boggs, Robert L. Livingston, J. Henson Moore and Henry Waxman, all of the U.S. House of Representatives; and J. Bennett Johnston Jr., Russell B. Long, Joseph M. Montoya and Gaylord Nelson, all of the U.S. Senate. Most historically significant are the materials on Adriani's Senate testimony on different occasions during the 1960s and 1970s before Senator Gaylord Nelson's Monopoly Subcommittee, testimony that made Adriani a nationwide celebrity. Here, Adriani articulated his public stances on generic drugs and on the drug industry.
