What year was chloroform usage stoped in hospitals?

Chloroform usage in hospitals gradually declined and was largely discontinued by the mid-20th century, particularly after the 1950s. Concerns about its safety and the development of safer anesthetics contributed to this decline. While chloroform was once a popular anesthetic in the 19th century, its risks led to a shift in medical practices. By the 1970s, it was virtually eliminated from medical use in hospitals.
