Nitrous oxide anaesthesia.

[Place of publication not identified], s.n.], [194?]

1 film reel (11:04 mins): si., b&w.; 16mm.

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.

Within the film can there is this interesting note: In the first part are a prolonged display of eyes which are of no value. RRM and F.B.B. at work on nitrous oxide - entirely futile to show to anyone else. Worth looking through only if films on a similar subject are contemplated, so as to avoid repeating the same useless mistakes. R.R.M 20.4.44

There are no opening or closing credits.
