About this work
Description
This film is about the EMO (Epstein-Macintosh-Oxford) inhaler and Oxford breathing bellows, both designed in Oxford and used in anaesthetics. The inhaler mixes the anaesthetic agent ether with air. Using a number of pre-operative and surgical case studies, the versatility and flexibility of this equipment is demonstrated.

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.
