About this work
Description
The opening sequences of this film set the scene; two young motorbikers race down a country road. Beyond the horizon, one crashes. Then an ambulance takes the injured biker to hospital with his arm in a bandage. Intertitles: 1. Axillary block and 2. Intravenous block. This film demonstrates the method of regional analgesia on the arm. Anatomical detail is penned onto the patient. A female patient requiring a minor operation to her hand is then shown. The skin is prepared and a needle with the anaesthetic agent applied to the underarm region. The simplicity of the methodology and the lack of equipment required for analgesia is emphasised - as well as the benefit to the patient.

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.
