Boy in Emerson Respirator (NCP 4145), National Museum of Health and Medicine

Description: A boy with polio in the Emerson Respirator (Iron Lung) viewing the photographer (Joe Clark) in the machine's mirror. Herman Kiefer Hospital, Detroit, MI.

An Emerson Respirator, also known as an Iron Lung, was a machine which enabled a person to breathe on their own when muscle control had been lost (often due to poliomyelitis). It used negative pressure ventilation to induce inhalation. These machines are rarely used in modernity.
