Description: Segment 1 The first sequence on this film shows a patient laying on their side in bed. A board with a tube shows the transit of spinal anaethesia. The spinal region is prepared. A needle is inserted and liquid drips into a glass. A syringe draws up the fluid, then ejects it (it froths up in the glass). A smaller syringe is used and injected in the patient. The patient is roused. The process is repeated on the model and coloured liquid travels along the tubing. The process of drawing fluid from a needle placed in the spine of a patient is repeated. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:04:33:00 Length: 00:04:33:00 Segment 2 A male patient is then aided to a sitting position and a clinician prepares his back, injects anaesthetic agent into his spine and with the aid of a clock, the speed at which the agent travels is shown. The patient is conscious but he clearly has no feeling on his chest as the clinician randomly pricks him with a needle. Time start: 00:04:33:00 Time end: 00:06:36:10 Length: 00:02:03:10
