About this work
Description
This Japanese film demonstrates the technique of EMO ether inhalation. The equipment shown is very portable and a clinician assembles it in an operating theatre. A male child (about 6 or 7 years old) is shown anaesthetised. Surgery on his arm is performed. Next an adult male is brought to surgery; his xrays reveal a problem with his chest. A tumour is removed. Another patient is shown, face down, with surgery being performed to his head. Finally the medical team are seen leaving the hospital in an official-looking white saloon vehicle with their portable equipment. Graphics with Japanese writing are shown throughout; presumably showing the level of appropriate anaesthesia.

Notes
Part of the film collection comprising of 55 items donated by Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics, Oxford, to the Wellcome Trust in 2008. In 1937, Lord Nuffield established a clinical chair of anaesthesia in Oxford amidst some controversy that anaesthesia was even an academic discipline. The collection is a mixture of clinical and educational films made or held by the department to supplement their teaching dating from the late 1930s onwards.
