Summary

Description
Deutsch: Diese Fotografie zeigt eine geöffnete künstliche Beatmungsmaschine, die allgemein als die Eiserne Lunge bekannt ist. In den 50-iger Jahren waren Polio-Patienten aufgrund der Lähmungen durch Polioviren zur Aufrechterhaltung der Atmung von diesen Geräten abhängig. Diese Eiserne Lunge wurde der 'CDC’s Global Health Odyssey' von der Familie des Polio-Patienten Mr. Barton Hebert aus Covington in Louisiana gespendet, der das Gerät von den späten 50-igern bis zu seinem Tod 2003 nutzte.
