Abstract
The resuscitator is identical in essentials to the pulmotor and has all of its failings. The alternate suction and pressure exerted upon the lungs does not cooperate with natural respiration and does not incite adequate ventilation unless these pressures are so large as to induce mechanical injury, acapnia and circulatory failure.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
