Summary

Description

Deutsch: Krankenhauspersonal untersucht einen Patienten in einer eisernen Lunge während der Rhode-Island-Polio-Epidemie.

English: Hospital staff are examining a patient in a tank respirator, iron lung, during the Rhode Island polio epidemic. The iron lung encased the thoracic cavity externally in an air-tight chamber. The chamber was used to create a negative pressure around the thoracic cavity, thereby causing air to rush into the lungs to equalize intrapulmonary pressure.

Français : Patient souffrant de la polio dans un respirateur artificiel à pression négative (poumon d'acier).

Nederlands: IJzeren long.

Português: "Pulmão de ferro" assistindo doente com paralisia total.
