PY - 2015 T2 - Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 5e AB - The historical evolution of mechanical ventilation is rich and built on advances in many fields, including endeavors by anatomists, chemists, explorers, physiologists, and clinicians.1 In 1543, Vesalius demonstrated that positive-pressure ventilation could be used to resuscitate a dying animal. Bellows ventilation was advocated by various lay bodies in the resuscitation of near-drowning victims late in the 18th century. In 1827, however, Leroy demonstrated that overzealous bellows inflation could result in pneumothoraces. Official bodies condemned the technique, and, thus, early in its infancy, positive-pressure ventilation was banned from use. Around this time, negative-pressure ventilators were developed and later popularized as a panacea for a wide variety of ailments.
