About this work

Description

The problem of the accumulation of secretions during surgery due to the effects of anaesthesia is described in this film. There are a number of case studies which demonstrate that the administration of analgesia post operatively in the form of Duncaine greatly relieves pain and results in the patients recovering quickly from their operations.

Notes

Conservation and access copies made from 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.
