A name given to the resource
The Iron Lung
Subject
The topic of the resource
Navy nurse treats patient in an iron lung
Description
An account of the resource
This image depicts another type of medical equipment used during the war, the iron lung. A type of ventilator that has since (thankfully) been replaced by the modern respirator machines we see in hospitals today, this device helped patients who were having trouble breathing on their own by applying negative pressure to the chest area. As you can see, these machines were bulky and a bit frightening. These were also used during the polio epidemics happening in the United States before, during, and after World War II. This particular machine is shown being used by a navy nurse on the US Navy Hospital Ship, USS Relief, AH-1.
