Abstract
This paper describes a machine for the application of artificial respiration to infants. The machine will operate automatically as a respiration amplifier when any spontaneous breathing is present, or as a forced respirator when there is no natural breathing. The respiratory cycle is induced by the external application of a negative pressure to the body and all significant variables may be independently controlled.
