Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 5e AB - The first known use of positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) as a medical intervention dates back to the 16th century, as described in Vesalius’ de Humani Corporis Fabrica: “But that life may in a manner of speaking be restored to the animal, an opening must be attempted in the trunk of the trachea, into which a tube of reed or cane should be put; you will then blow into this, so that the lung may rise again and the animal take in air. Indeed with the slight breath in the case of the living animal, the lung will swell to the full extent of the thoracic cavity, and the heart become strong… . for when the lung, long flaccid, has collapsed, the beat of the heart and arteries appears wavy, creepy, twisting; but when the lung is inflated at intervals, the motion of the heart and arteries does not stop.”1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1122371990 ER -
