Description: Segment 1 This film starts with intertitles explaining that the techniques shown in the film on children under 12 have been in place for a few years before the film was made. A girl is given an injection by a nurse and then the children about to have the operation, dressed in their surgical clothing, are shown in the playroom, talking to the nurse. A child comes in to the surgical room holding a teddy bear. It is noted that the child is not restrained in anyway. The child is anaesthetised (open drop technique) and then eased onto the table. The operation proceeds using the reverse guillotine method. Blood is absorbed with a sponge, then the patient is gently tilted so that any surplus goes into a basin. Next, the adenoids are removed in the right lateral position. A lot of dilute blood is in evidence in the basin in the aftermath of the operation. The child is taken to the recovery room.
