Andrew Gerald Doughty MRCS LRCP FRCA FRCOG (2 September 1916 – 2 June 2013) was an English anaesthetist.
In 1957, he invented the Doughty gag, a modification of the Boyle-Davis gag for anaesthesia during adenotonsillectomy. This invention, with its split blade design, allows for the use of an endotracheal tube and remains in universal use today.
Doughty was an early promoter of the use of epidural anaesthesia during childbirth. In 1973, he established an epidural course at Kingston Hospital, which was a renowned two-week-long, one-on-one training course attracting attendees from around the world. Spots for this course needed to be booked years in advance due to its popularity.
He was born in Lincoln and qualified from St Thomas's Hospital in 1941. During his retirement, Doughty resided in Thames Ditton.
