Abstract:
:Continuous mechanical ventilation used for life support is accepted as standard practice in nearly every hospital in the United States today. The history of the evolution of techniques that we take virtually for granted today is fascinating. This article recounts some of the highlights in the development of modern-day mechanical ventilators, with emphasis on the past 25 years.
