Recent incidents and growing pandemic concerns such as Coronavirus (COVID-19) have raised awareness of the acute problem of treating and dealing with mass emergency situations. One particular issue of great concern is the lack of an adequate way to deal with large groups of people requiring ventilation quickly and effectively.
Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV) is a real answer to this problem. BCV provides an efficient and effective method of non-invasive external ventilation and is a real alternative to traditional forms of ventilation. Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation does not require skilled medical professionals, and almost anyone can apply BCV to a patient with minimal training.
With BCV:
– Complete and effective ventilation without intubation.
– No need for skilled medical staff.
– Simplicity of use even when cumbersome protective gear is worn.
– Portable – from the field to the medical centre with no need for additional equipment.
– Controls of both phases of the respiratory cycle, inspiration and expiration.
– Cardiopulmonary Support in a truly natural way.
In a recent report, the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins estimated the United States of America has a total of 160,000 ventilators available for patient. This leaves more than 99% of the United States population without any available form of ventilation in the event of a pandemic outbreak, such as coronavirus. Current ventilator capacity and usage in the United States is about 75% to 95% utilized with existing cases (COPD, elderly, accident victims, trauma, post surgical, cardiac, etc).
A study run by the federal government in 2005 estimated that if the United States of America were hit with a moderate pandemic like the influenza of 1957, the country would need more than 60,000 ventilators. If the United States were struck with a severe pandemic like the Spanish flu of 1918, it is estimated we would need more than 740,000 ventilators — many times more than are available.

Since this is an iron lung that works by putting physical pressure on your whole diaphram, wouldnt that make the device more dangerous because of the injury that could happen if it breaks a rib or way worse, crushes you? (I.e. someone who has little calcium or vitamin deficiency from anything)
Dile a los doctores que recete: Hydroxychloroquine!!!!!! Es usado contra la malaria y todos han sanado ya estando a punto de morir. No tiene efectos secundarios. HAZLO!!!!!!!
Woooooooow
Looks realtively cheap and easy to produce. Why not use this as another survival tool for the most servere COVID 19 patients?

Portable iron lung
From the Iron Lung to this.
Hello. Thank you so much for your interest in Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV). There have been many negative pressure ventilators over the years, such as the iron lung and negative cuirass ventilators, however none of them have been biphasic. Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV) controls both phases of the respiratory cycle and has an active expiratory phase, this is something that other negative pressure devices do not do; they relied on the lung’s elastic recoil for expiration. BCV works by applying the cuirass shell to your chest, which creates suction and results in negative pressure. This suction draws your diaphragm downward, causing your ribs to expand, creating a breath in. During the active expiratory phase, positive pressure is applied through the cuirass, which causes your diaphragm to move back up, providing a breath out. BCV’s active expiratory phase also makes it especially good at expelling C02.
Not only this, but other negative pressure ventilators cannot thin and expel secretions, and/or provide complete ventilation, as BCV does. BCV can be used to treat the symptoms associated with many conditions affecting the lungs, such as, but not limited to ALS, DMD, COPD and Cystic Fibrosis.

so i could keep a dying covid19 patient alive by pressing his/her chest until he/she recovers?
but isn’t it that their lungs are filled with fluid so that no oxygen gets through even when breathing?
No this machine basically pulls their chest forcing air in. The downward motion is gravity and an increase in pressure to normal by the device.
it should contains a mask for smoke to prevent toxic gases
and what if there is bleeding in the chest or something in the throat cloging it it should be tested so much
I’d like to think those responders would start CPR (with bag mask ventilation) and then apply the cuirass after.
I’m pretty sure I had COVID-19 it lasted three weeks the worst part was the pneumonia part I had all the symptoms that were described I could not breathe out of my nose and at night time I was scared that I was going to die in my sleep I was not able to breathe out of my Nose only my mouth And I would say that the severe pneumonia lasted at least a week hard-core of every time I blew my nose no matter what it didn’t help I never went and got tested I was too scared there’s a lot of people like me out there I feel better 100% now
Interesting.
Portable injection molded iron lung. I love it.

Can a CPAP Machine be converted into a complex inpatient Ventilator? Kathleen Chesterton 11.9k views

CPAP & BiPAP devices treat sleep apnea both obstructive and central. These patients CAN breathe on their own and, for the most part, can initiate respirations.

People on vents are intubated. This intubation — tracheostomy, orotracheal, nasotracheal — is incompatible the with the tubing of apnea devices and the tubing that works with intubation doesn’t work with apnea devices. Although vents have CPAP and BiPAP modes — other mode settings include PEEP and SIMV — these settings aren’t used alone. And CPAP and PEEP, for example, are used when weaning a patient off a vent but, again, this isn’t the only setting /mode in use and apnea devices don’t deliver enough pressure to ventilate lung tissue.
Do you guys have stock left or a known production capacity?
Hello. Thank you for your question. We have ventilators available during COVID. You can email us at [email protected] for more information. You may also follow this link and someone will be in touch soon. https://www.hayekmedical.com/contact-us
But it won’t work in the cases of Physical trauma to chest cavity like Flail chest.. Anyways, I heard about this negetive ventilation from my Grandfather who was a millitary doctor back in 70s. This was very common in those days and was proven very much effective.
This cuirass technology was used in the 1940’s and 50’s. There is a full enclosure negative pressure model available today called port-a-lung.

The porta-lung company hasn’t been active since 2010 as far as I can tell.
woodstock envy the “port-a-lung” aka iron lung hasnt been in regular service since the late 50s early 60s. Negative pressure ventilators are defunct tech. They aren’t widely available today, and upkeep on the ones that are still in use is very specialized and there’s basically only a few people in the world who do that required maintenance.
Thank You. No doubt the scariest thing about COVID-19 is not being able to breath on your own.
Side question – I wonder if any way to build ventilators with a shared mechanical engine/supplier like a central Air conditioner that is self regulating and could ventilate 100 or even 500 beds?
A
Cool but I have slipping rib syndrome
. What about those types of paitients??
@Scotty Weißmüller heck I’m nearly dead now.. lupus and sick with covid..
Would you rather be able to breathe or would you rather be dead? You’re just going to have to suck it up with whatever made up symptoms you have.
Better than nothing
Peep is better, but considering the circumstances every method must be used and tested, rather to breath incorrectly than not at all.
Hello, Michael. Thank you so much for your comment.
The goals of PEEP include improved oxygenation, lung recruitment, and improved gas exchange. Studies have shown that those same goals can be achieved by using BCV without the adverse side effects of PEEP.

Negative pressure ventilation this was call the iron lung many years ago. This is note a joke and will work. Currently most hospitals use positive pressure ventilators
Hello, @Phoebe DeGroot . Thank you so much for your interest in Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV).
To best answer your question, I have referred to one of our Clinical Specialists.
This is his reply: “COVID lung disease is an illness of hypoxemia combined with high compliance, which makes it unlike what would be considered more typical ARDS with hypoxemia and low lung compliance. Typical positive pressure techniques may cause the early COVID lung to advance to a more typical ARDS presentation. Use of Continuous Negative mode in BCV provides a means of attenuating dyspnea, supporting restoration of FRC in a very physiologically advantageous way that gives the heart and lungs every chance for maximum oxygen extraction and delivery to the tissues with the minimum amount of pressure possible. This will shift many patients from ARDS levels of P/F ratios with high likelihood of a terminal outcome to a range much more associated with survival and less associated with requiring intubation and positive pressure. We encourage early intervention when early symptoms of hypoxemia and dyspnea present if possible. The advantages BCV provides for the early COVID lung patient also apply to patients displaying a more typical ARDS picture. These patients also have loss of normal FRC levels with hypoxemia and decreased compliance. BCV can be used strategically with CNEP or Biphasic modes to restore FRC and attenuate poor O2 extraction and delivery. So, there may be a misunderstanding about the modern cuirass ventilator. The RTX is a device that can work in so many ways for sick and healthy lungs for compliant and non-compliant lungs. It is the closest thing yet developed to the ideal ventilator.”

Mark Arca , these are not the same… similar but different. They provide positive and negative pressure, AND can do secretion clearance mode, with is very useful. I was skeptical at first, but 18 months of my husband using it as a supplement to his traditional ventilator has made me a convert. Look in academic research info is out there.
WRONG! This machine does BOTH positive and negative pressure and it does work! My husband has been using it for about 18 months as an alternative/ supplement to has normal ventilator… and it does wonders❤️. Our neurologist has even presented on it and it’s impact at a conference. I was a skeptic when I first learned of it, but it’s real… do your homework (like I did) and you will find that it is an option for some. It is just not made in the US, and is expensive… not to mention, like most are now realizing there were just a few companies that had hold over the entire market in the US😡.
@Hayek Medical Covid patients usually have hypoxic, non-compliant lungs compared to patients that utilize other methods of negative-pressure ventilation (iron lung, cuirass) that have otherwise normal lung compliance/function. I haven’t seen any of your literature address this key difference- do you care to comment on how this would be applicable in Covid/ARDS / pneumonia cases?

Is this a joke? How about their airway? How do you provide oxygen through your chest. I see that it can definitely decrease intrathoracic pressure but not ventilate lol
Hello, Sylvia. Thank you so much for your interest in Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV).
BCV provides complete ventilation by controlling both phases of the respiratory cycle. It also has a secretion clearance (HFCWO) option, cough option, and has been proven to increase pulmonary muscle strength. BCV works by applying the cuirass shell to your chest, which creates suction and results in negative pressure. This suction draws your diaphragm downward, causing your ribs to expand, inducing a breath in. During the expiratory phase, positive pressure is applied through the cuirass, which causes your diaphragm to move back up, providing a breath out.

What about these supposed sports heroes donating medical supplies to hospitals. They can easily afford 250 million dollars
how much are they?
Hello, Lorel. Thank you so much for your question.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the cost. However, BCV is recognized by commercial insurance companies in the United States.
BCV has been proven to be effective at managing the symptoms associated with many conditions affecting the lungs. It is also available for hospitals and the home.

This ventilation method is ideal for fast production and distribution during the pandemic. Please license this design to others so it can be quickly produced to meet demand around the world.
Is it better for the patient to breath dirty air or no air at all?
I’m not sure what to make of this.. The mechanics is understandable.. and I suppose this could be useful in certain situations.. but in this video…. The patient is in a compromised environment.. possibly filled with smoke … And the emergency crew are all wearing respirators…
Bill Gates did a TedTalks 4 yrs ago warning us that we would not be prepared for the next pandemic due to lack of equipment and fully trained workers ready to take it on. Must be set up like an army always training and ready to go. Seems logical seeing viruses are such a constant physical and economical threat.
Speaking of “an army,” this is literally a service that our Army (Military) could provide.
US CDC budget is literally 1% that of the military.
How much.
Hello, Higgs. Thank you so much for your question.

Not going to help with inflammation in airway
The give steroids for that
Normal ventilators also doesnt help with the inflamation. but one still needs it in order to survive
Bullshit . Unpractical… fat people ? airtight ? on the clothes ? Bullshit !
How do I buy 65 million please? Love the UK
