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.

From the catalogue accompanying the collection: Complete copy of first experiment at the London Hospital Baths. Quite a good film. No script. Finishes up with the patient sinking without a flotation jacket. (It might be a good idea to transfer this last shot from here to No. 3, where it is too dark.) Also handwritten comment: June 1952 Not particularly interesting when compared with some of the others, but the shot of Pk [Pask?] sinking without flotation jacket is good and probably should be changed for similar shot on No. 3.

There are no production credits on this film.
