The iron lung was largely replaced by modern ventilators and positive pressure breathing devices. These new technologies provide more effective and comfortable respiratory support for patients with respiratory failure or conditions like polio. Additionally, non-invasive ventilation methods, such as CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), have become popular for managing respiratory issues without the need for invasive procedures.
A negative pressure ventilator, often referred to as an iron lung can be defined as a form of medical ventilator medical that enables a person to breathe when normal muscle control has been lost or the work of breathing exceeds the person's ability. The iron lung was replaced by respirators and nebulizers.
