Veterans Administration hospitals
in the Southwest have been equip-
ped with the newest type of port-
able. aluminum "lungs" In a move
to reduce the threat of poliomye-
litis (Infantile paraylsls).
A modem adaptation of the "Iron
lung,” the lighter respirator can
be used Inf an airplane. autohiobUe
or train as well as in a hospital.
Dr. Lee D. Cady, VA’s medical di-
rector in the Southwest, said.
Dr. Cady said a patient can sit
up, lie down, or even walk about
in his room while wearing the new
device, which covers only the chest.
While its chief use will be for
polio victims, the aluminum lung
can be used for artificial respira-
tion In several other types of med-
ical emergencies.
