| | IRON LUNG |
 | | The typical patient cannot use his or her breathing muscles to inflate their lungs, but if a way could be found to draw up the chest, it would create a space in the lungs that would automatically be filled by air flowing in through the mouth and nose. | | | When the air is pumped out of the casing, the reduction in pressure makes the chest rise, filling the lungs. | | | Moving a little closer and peering through tiny submarine-style windows, you can see John's chest gently rise and fall in time. |

| | I was in an iron lung for seven years but for the last 43 years I have used a smaller version of negative pressure ventilation in the form of a cuirass shell, which is airtight and fits over my chest, and is held in place by straps. | | | This negative pressure causes the chest wall to expand and air is drawn into the lungs through the mouth and nose. | | | When the negative pressure is released, the chest wall "collapses" and one breathes out. |
