Descriptor Spanish: Ventiladores de Presión Negativa
Descriptor ventiladores de presión negativa
Entry term(s) respiradores pulmonares de presión negativa
ventiladores pulmonares de presión negativa
Scope note: Ventiladores corporales que ayudan a la respiración al aplicar presión subatmosférica intermitente alrededor del tórax, abdomen o las vías aéreas y expandir periódicamente la pared torácica e insuflar los pulmones. Son relativamente simples de manejar y no requieren traqueostomía. Entre estos dispositivos se incluyen el "pulmón de acero", el pulmón portátil, cubierta neumática, y "caparazón de tortuga".

Scope note: Body ventilators that assist ventilation by applying intermittent subatmospheric pressure around the thorax, abdomen, or airway and periodically expand the chest wall and inflate the lungs. They are relatively simple to operate and do not require tracheostomy. These devices include the tank ventilators ("iron lung"), Portalung, Pneumowrap, and chest cuirass ("tortoise shell").
