Artificial respirator and its evolution.

  • 1493

    1493 - 1541 Paracelso

    Through numerous tube experiments, Paracelsus managed to resuscitate a patient orally.
  • 1541

    Paracelso and Vesalius

    Vesalius discovered what is now known as "mechanical ventilation" which is an opening in the trunk of the trachea by placing a tube so that the lungs react again.
  • 1744

    The first case is discovered where Tossach's "mouth to mouth breathing" is applied.
  • 1754

    Artificial respiration was developed where John Hunter, Black Priestley, Lavoisier and Scheele participated.
  • Second half of the century XIX

    The first mechanical fans were created.
  • 1864 Alfred Jones

    One of the first ventilators was created by Alfred Jones, the principle of operation was that the device caused pressure inside and outside the patient. Whose purpose was to resurrect the victims drowning.
  • 1880

    The first "endotracheal tube" was designed , Dr. Chevalier invented the "laryngoscope" both items helped for mechanical ventilation.
  • 1908 Dräger

    1908 Dräger
    A new device was created that worked with positive pressure through a "naso-oral mask"
  • 1928 event with girl.

    1928 event with girl.
    "the steel lung" was first used with a girl on October 21, 1928 in Boston due to respiratory problems and was placed in the respirator chamber, which popularized the invention
  • Steel lung improvements

    en 1931 fue creada está versión mejorada por John Haven, fue más barata, ligera, silenciosa y efectivamen
  • 1953 other models for critical care

    1953 other models for critical care
    Steel lungs began to disappear and hospitals had better ventilators more effectively.
  • 1970 Pediatric intensive care

    1970 Pediatric intensive care
    It was a very light and easy to carry respirator
  • 1980 Spanish Technology

    1980 Spanish Technology
    This unit was incorporated into a hospital in Valencia, as the first prototype.
  • G-5 generation

    G-5 generation
    This is one of the mechanical ventilation monitoring screens more attached to the current ones.
  • PANDEMIC 2O2O.

    PANDEMIC 2O2O.
    With this new situation, new mechanical ventilators have been created due to the pandemic causing deficiency in breathing.
    Now they have a better use, portable BUT expensive, in some cases some models were created specifically for these situations of extreme contagion And because now the medical team is running low.
