We believe that Continuous Negative Extrathoracic Pressure (CNEP), and Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV) are valuable methods of breathing support for the treatment of acute pneumonia, including COVID-19, and chronic pulmonary disease of many types.

blished last month in Anaesthesia journal [1]. Unlike its ‘iron lung’ predecessors, the Exovent can deliver the full features of negative pressure espiratory support on a standard hospital bed. Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP) delivers the negative pressure equivalent of CPAP, and negative pressure ventilation (NPV) can be ...

Dec 13, 2021 · A team of engineers and doctors has developed a 21st century version of “iron lung” technology to create a breathing aid for patients suffering from COVID-19, which is cheaper and more comfortable than devices used today in intensive care units.

Sep 3, 2021 · Exovent can provide an alternative choice to using continuous positive airway pressure, by delivering continuous negative extra-thoracic pressure (CNEP). Exovent does not require to be driven by pressurised air or oxygen, markedly reducing the …

Apr 7, 2020 · British engineers are developing a modern version of the Negative Pressure Ventilator (NPV), more popularly known as the "iron lung," to provide COVID-19 patients under the care of the NHS with a...

Unlike its ‘iron lung’ predecessors, the Exovent can deliver the full features of negative pressure respiratory support on a standard hospital bed. Continuous negative extrathoracic pressure (CNEP) delivers the negative pressure equivalent of CPAP, and negative pressure ventilation (NPV) can be augmented with negative end-expiratory ...

Jan 20, 2021 · A team of doctors, scientists and engineers are about to make a bid to the UK’s medical devices regulator to get approval for the use of the exovent device, which they say could prevent some...

Apr 2, 2020 · The new model, the Exovent, is a cutting-edge reinvention of the archetypal iron lung, a Negative Pressure Ventilator (NPV), which is non-invasive and allows the patient to remain conscious throughout treatment.

Dec 10, 2021 · Exovent, founded in the United Kingdom in 2020, is a volunteer organization devoted to designing, testing, and manufacturing a modern iron lung. Exovent does not require intubation, and the patient can remain awake.

Nov 24, 2023 · The aim to reintroduce negative pressure ventilation using a modern iron lung was a message of hope for these patients and their caretakers. I incorporated this message in my next lecture, June 2020, online, so the students could learn about it: …
