ANAESTHETIC DEVICE

PERFECTED IN BRITAIN. BY NUFFIELD DEPARTMENT AT. OXFORD. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, July 18. A new anaesthetic device for automatically making available vapours from liquid anaesthetic has been perfected by the Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics at Oxford University. Lord Nuffield is providing to the Services 1000 machines costing £25 each. The machines work without the customary gas cylinders. The patient breathes through the machine, in which ingenious use is made of a chemical substance ensuring that the vapour from liquid anaesthetic is inhaled in exactly the desired concentrations. A particularly valuable feature to the Services is transport economy. For example, the machine converts a one-pint bottle of liquid ether into five thousandfold that volume of gaseous ether which can be used for anaesthetic purposes.
