About this work
Description
The film starts with an explanation of co-agulation in the blood; there is a clinical setting followed by various medical labels and graphics and footage of the blood flow. An explanation of the treatment of embolism is outlined; diagnosis, measurement of blood pressure and electro-cardiography. There is interesting footage in the hospital laboratory; a lab assistant pipettes the blood. All the reading and recording is entirely manual. Sensitivity to drug treatments are commented upon.
