Abstract
Chronic mechanical ventilation developed at the same time as modern acute mechanical ventilation. Already during the epidemic of poliomyelitis in the 1950s, it was clear that some patients would need chronic ventilatory support, whether partial or complete. At first, the only method of ventilation available for chronic use was intermittent negative pressure ventilation (NPV) via an iron lung
