Nurses tend to four young polio patients lying on beds inside an “iron lung” in 1938. Poliomyelitis was an infectious disease that could cause muscle weakness in the head, neck and diaphragm in a small number of cases. This muscle weakness resulted in an inability to breathe, due to the inability to expand and contract the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. The iron lung was a negative pressure ventilator that enabled these patients to breathe and saved lives prior to the introduction of the polio vaccine.
