Abstract
Cardiac arrest represents a dramatic event that can occur suddenly and often without premonitory signs, characterized by sudden loss of consciousness and breathing after cardiac output ceases and both coronary and cerebral blood flows stop. Restarting of the blood flow by cardiopulmonary resuscitation potentially re-establishes some cardiac output and organ blood flows. This article summarizes the major events that encompass the history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, beginning with ancient history and evolving into the current American Heart Association's commitment to save hearts.

Abstract
It seems strange that the medical literature from the United States has only a single original source of reference for a device (from circa 1870) for artificial ventilation in neonatal resuscitation. The invention is attributed to "Dr Truehead of Galveston, Texas". I argue that this mystery arises from two separate misspellings of the inventor's name, and propose that the correct name is Dr Charles William Trueheart (1837-1914), also of Galveston.

Abstract
When Australia's 1937 epidemic of poliomyelitis created an urgent need for extra ventilating machines to compensate for respiratory paralysis, Edward Both, an innovative Adelaide biomedical engineer, invented a wooden-cabinet respirator capable of being made relatively quickly in sufficient quantity. His device, here called "the Both", alleviated the problem at Adelaide's Northfield Infectious Diseases Hospital and others, and in late 1938 was introduced into England when Both was visiting there. Appreciating its merits, Lord Nuffield financed assembly-line production at the Morris motor works in Cowley, Oxford. Then, through the Nuffield Department of Anaesthetics in Oxford's Radcliffe Infirmary, he had the Both distributed Commonwealth-wide, as a gift for treating ventilatory failure in polio - especially in children. For the 1937 epidemic in Victoria, and to the design of Melbourne University's Professor of Engineering, Aubrey Burstall, nearly 200 of another wooden-cabinet respirator were ultimately built. Some were installed at the Acute Respiratory Unit of the Infectious Diseases Hospital at Fairfield, then others "all over Australia". However, by the early 1950s, the Both had replaced Fairfield Hospital's "Burstall", which had functioned as Victoria's favoured respirator since 1937. Dr John Forbes at Fairfield became the foremost Australian clinician for expertise with the Both. Before the advent of intermittent positive pressure ventilation, the Both's usefulness had seen it tried for ventilatory failure in some non-polio conditions, but uptake of that application was limited. Nonetheless, Nuffield's philanthropy with the (Nuffield-)Both ultimately furthered progress along the 20th century pathway to intensive care medicine.

Abstract
Closed circuit anaesthesia was described decades ago but did not achieve wide popularity among anaesthesiologists mainly because reliable control of inspiratory gas concentrations was not possible. Recent innovations including fast gas analysers, electronically controlled dosage systems and algorithms for feedback control have made possible the development of sophisticated closed circuit ventilators designed for routine clinical practice. The main advantages comprise economic use of medical gases and volatile anaesthetics, reduction of anaesthetic gas loss into the atmosphere, improved airway acclimatization as well as estimations of oxygen consumption. This article reviews historical aspects, recent developments as well as advantages and limitations of closed system anaesthesia.

Abstract
At the First International Symposium on the History of Modern Anaesthesia (1982), Professor Keuskamp mentioned that the introduction of breathing machines for lung ventilation during operations had taken over 'the tiresome handwork of ventilation'. This paper traces some aspects of Keuskamp's professional career and his role in the development of the Amsterdam Infant Ventilator. In 1974, Urban and Weitzner from the State University of New York reported that the ventilator was a reliable and effective constant-volume paediatric ventilator. Other clinicians from the United States and Europe echoed this satisfactory clinical evaluation. At present, this paediatric ventilator is still in use for the initial ventilation of small infants and for the mechanical ventilation of different animal species in a variety of experimental settings.

Abstract
Though he had no formal training in engineering, John Blease of Merseyside invented numerous devices that greatly benefited the practice of anaesthesia. Starting with the turning of component parts for simple anaesthetic machines in the 1930s, he was introduced to clinical anaesthesia and became skilled in the art of dental anaesthesia. In the early 1940s he developed the all-purpose Alfo-Blease anaesthetic machine. In 1945 he designed an intermittent positive pressure ventilator, which was used successfully around Liverpool. After World War II he improved this into the Blease 'Pulmoflator', which was the first British positive-pressure ventilator in commercial production. From then until the early 1960s he patented many other inventions, duly utilized in the manufacture of anaesthetic equipment, in which industry the Blease name survives in the company he founded.

Abstract
We compared a new bellows ventilator (Kendall Cardiovent) with two other bellows (Dräger Resutator 63, Tagg Breathsaver) and seven bag or ball ventilators (Aerodyne Hope, Ambu Mark 3, Ambu Silicon, Dräger Resutator 2000, Laerdal Resu, Mercury CPR, Weinmann Combibag). Tidal volumes were measured with two Laerdal Recording Resusci Annies, one lying on the floor, one in a bed. Twelve participants performed mask ventilation with all ten devices on both manikins for two minutes, trying to achieve tidal volumes of between 0.8 and 1.21 as recommended by the AHA. The last ten ventilations each on the graphic strips were analysed for volume. The participants scored handling of the devices on a 6-point scale (1 = very good, 6 = insufficient). The results of the Cardiovent were compared to those of the other devices by rank sum test (percentage of correct ventilations) and sign test (subjective handling). The Cardiovent provided exact ventilation with 95% of ventilations) on the floor and 78% of ventilations in bed in the recommended range. However, the percentage of correct ventilations with the Cardiovent was not significantly different to the other devices except for a lower percentage of correct ventilations with the Combibag in the in bed setting. Concerning subjective handling, the Cardiovent was significantly superior to several ball ventilators.

Abstract
This article traces the development of mechanical ventilatory support methods from the use of body ventilators to tracheal cannulation to the use of noninvasive ventilatory support and airway secretion management alternatives. Although it has been known that tracheostomy tubes could be used for ventilatory support and airway secretion management since 1869, body ventilators continued to be the main methods of long-term ventilatory support in the United States, with tracheostomy performed only for patients with severe bulbar muscle dysfunction, until the late 1950s. Recent technological developments, however, have created renewed interest in noninvasive alternatives.

Abstract
Paralysis via neuromuscular blockade in ICU patients requires mechanical ventilation. This review historically addresses the technological advances and scientific information upon which ventilatory management concepts are based, with special emphasis on the influence such concepts have had on the use of neuromuscular blocking agents. Specific reference is made to the scientific information and technological advances leading to the newer concepts of ventilatory management. Information from > 100 major studies in the peer-reviewed medical literature, along with the author's 25 yrs of clinical experience and academic involvement in acute respiratory care is presented. Nomenclature related to ventilatory management is specifically defined and consistently utilized to present and interpret the data. Pre-1970 ventilatory management is traced from the clinically unacceptable pressure-limited devices to the reliable performance of volume-limited ventilators. The scientific data and rationale that led to the concept of relatively large tidal volume delivery are reviewed in the light of today's concerns regarding alveolar overdistention, control-mode dyssynchrony, and auto-positive end-expiratory pressure. Also presented are the post-1970 scientific rationales for continuous positive airway pressure/positive end-expiratory pressure therapy, avoidance of alveolar hyperxia, and partial ventilatory support techniques (intermittent mandatory ventilation/synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation). The development of pressure-support devices is discussed and the capability of pressure-control techniques is presented. The rationale for more recent concepts of total ventilatory support to avoid ventilator-induced lung injury is presented. The traditional techniques utilizing volume-preset ventilators with relatively large tidal volumes remain valid and desirable for the vast majority of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Neuromuscular blockade is best avoided in these patients. However, adequate analgesia, amnesia, and sedation are required. For patients with severe lung disease, alveolar overdistention and hyperoxia should be avoided and may be best accomplished by total ventilatory support techniques, such as pressure control. Total ventilatory support requires neuromuscular blockade and may not provide eucapnic ventilation.

Abstract
To select a ventilator (or a ventilatory mode), consider the most basic characteristics: How is tidal volume generated (with a constant or nonconstant flow or pressure generator)? How does the ventilator trigger a changeover from exhalation to inhalation and cycle back to exhalation? How is tidal volume delivered to the patient (either directly from a power source or indirectly from an intermediate chamber)? What special functions are available? The answers to these questions will not only let you make the best selection but will also help you troubleshoot when a ventilator fails to function properly.

Abstract
Contemporary advancements in cardiothoracic and abdominal surgical procedures have been historically dependent on the development and adoption of controlled airway management, specifically endotracheal intubation, controlled positive-pressure ventilation, and the use of automatic positive-pressure mechanical ventilators. More than 400 years elapsed before the 16th Century theories of Paracelsus and the demonstrations of Vesalius were routinely adopted to solve the "pneumothorax problem" that prevented complicated or prolonged surgical procedures within the pleural cavity. Acceptance and implementation of controlled positive-pressure ventilation was impeded for decades by the inability to maintain and protect the airway. Consequently, emphasis on the development of mechanical ventilation was directed toward machinery that provided safer negative-pressure respiratory support. The introduction of curare into European anesthesia practice and the adoption of protective airway practices during the poliomyelitis epidemics led to routine use of controlled positive-pressure ventilation and construction of dependable machinery. Laboratory investigations, exploring complications from cardiothoracic surgery, brought about American acceptance and established controlled positive-pressure mechanical ventilation as an indispensable part of conventional intraoperative management.

Abstract
Mechanical home ventilation is a child of this centuries polio epidemics. The tank respirator, or iron lung, signaled the beginning of the new era. Improved techniques like positive pressure ventilation via tracheostoma followed soon. Hypoventilation syndromes of various origin are more and more encountered thanks to better detection methods. They benefit from a new, efficient and noninvasive technique, the positive pressure ventilation via nasal mask.

Abstract
No satisfactory mechanical respirator existed before 1929, when Philip Drinker and Louis Shaw described an apparatus of their own design. This machine was in the form of a cylindrical tank enclosing the patient's body and chest, leaving the head outside the chamber under atmospheric pressure. Air pumps, later a bellows, raised and lowered pressure within the tank to assume the entire work of breathing. Popularly named the iron lung, the Drinker respirator supported thousands of patients afflicted with respiratory paralysis during the polio era. It was being superseded by positive-pressure airway ventilators just as the polio era came to a close. Today the Drinker respirator has disappeared virtually without a trace. Although its disadvantage was its cumbersome size, we must concede that it supported patients over the long term with fewer complications than do the respirators of today.
