About this work
Description
This film looks at artificial respiration, in particular mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and closed chest heart massage. The history of man's attempts to resuscitate the newly dead is told beginning as far back as cave paintings. The technique of artificial respiration is shown on dummies as well as real bodies, and a series of dramatic reconstructions of incidents in which artificial respiration might be needed are included at the end of the film.

Notes
This film comes from the Monica Britton Medical History Collection, which was based at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, now closed. The museum was founded in 1985 by a generous donation from the late Mr. J. Britton in memory of his wife who came from a medical family and was extremely interested in education. The collection included a wide spectrum of surgical, medical, anaesthetic, radiological and pharmaceutical artefacts, together with books, catalogues and photographs.
