WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 1929. 2 THE EVENING STAR, D E, PONER RESPIRATOR ADSSPAVATED New Device in Bellevue m-| provement Over Old One. | Works by E!ectricity. ‘ Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 23.—Victims of accidents which interfere with breath- ing and circulation can now be resu citated by a respirator machine oper- ated continuously by electricity, just installed in Bellevue Hospital. It is introduced as the first satisfactory ap- pliance for administering artificial res- | piration over long periods. It could | have been empioyed. for instance, to take the place of 20 policemen who worked in relays for five days to restore an unconscious woman. Its range cov- ers asphyzia due to electric shock, con- cussion, gas poisoning, smoke and drowning. This mehanical respirator was pe tected after nearly two years of experi- | ments by its designers, Philip Drinker and Louis A. Shaw of the School of Public Health, Harvard University, and constructed at the request of the gas and electric companies affiliated with the Consolidated Gas Co. of this city. Tank 6 Feet Long. The appliance is a heavy metal tank equipped with various accessories. The | tank itself is 6 feet in length and about 215 feet in width and depth, and can accommodate the body of a tall man of large girth. Its plates are electrically welded, so that every joint is airproof The front end is removed when the machine is required for a patient sim- ply by undoing a set of hasps From the interior, drawer-like, is slid 8 bed, with steel spring mattress, upon which the body of the sufferer is placed, | after which the couch is pushed back into the steel shell. The head of the patient is thrust through a highly elas- - tic collar securgly clamped to a circular opening in the'front panel. This collar yields to motions of the throat and yet fits snugly enough to prevent the en- trance of outside air. The head, sticknig out from the end, 18 placed upon a support bolted like a | shelf to the front and resembling the Test of a dentist’s or barber's chair. The end panel is then clamped or bat tened down by the hasps. the union be- ing made airtight by gaskets or washers of leather. The body is thus in a con- talner much like a compressed-air chamber or a diving bell. | Current Causes Exhalation. | After everything is hermetically sealed, air under slight pressure is al- ternately pumped in and drawn out of the box in breathing. The incoming current bears down on the chest and abdomen of the patient and causes him to exhale. When suction is applied the patient’s lungs | inflate as the outside atmosphere rushes in through his exposed nose and mouth. Months of experimenting were spent in producing a regular and rhythmic respiration timed to the age and strength of the patient. This is ac- complished by a device called an altes nator, an electrically controlled valve, one side of which is solid and the other 50 meshed as to admit outside atmo- sphere. The air is circulated by blow- ers of the type used for vacuum clean- ers, which act as pumps. After passing through the blowers it comes in contact with the alternator valve, which, opening and closing, sends currents through two branches of a Y tube. Power is derived from a com- | pact_electric motor, the revolutions of which are regulated by a gear shift, Low speed is 15 revolutions a minute, d high from 28 to 30. The speed ! can be reduced or modified by a slide wire rheostat. Respiration Regulated. In general 15 breaths a minute are prescribed for adults and children over 5 years of age, and from 22 to 25 reaspi- rations for babies. The patient thus can be made to breathe deeply or shal- lowly and as quickly or as slowly as the attending physician deems best. The | machine is often tested by watching the | pulsations of a soft rubber diaphragm | substituted for the collar. Besides watching the face of the patient for variations in color of the skin and lips to guide him in his treat- ment, the doctor or nurse on duty can also observe the body for symptoms by | looking through a glass-covered pon-i hole in the top of the machine. As the | | | | | glass is of quartz composition, X-ray photographs can be taken through it for study.

If_the doctor notes that the mercury column is too near zero, he switches on an electric light inside. If the heat is too high, he opens the port and lets in | outside air until the temperature drops. There is also a water gauge which guides the operator in regulating it. If air pressure gets too heavy, the gauge or manometer overflows—safety valve wise—and the pressure is automatically lightened. Through a rubber, lock-like device in the side of the tank the tube of a blood pressure testing instrument s 1ed, 50 that the state of the patient is noted on a dial. A supplemental steel container can also be placed near the patient's head, into which oxygen or mixed gases can be forced for inhala- tion if required. If able to receive nourishment, the patient can be fed. and he can’ also talk while artificial respiration is in progress, or fall into restful sleep. The inventors say this is probably not true of any other available mcthods. POPE’S EXIT POSTPONED UNTIL AFTER MAY 30 Impossibility of Ratifying Lateran Treaty by End of Month Given by Newspaper as Reason. Associated Press, iCAN CITY, May 23.—The newspaper Obsorvatore Romano, used | by the Vatican to make its public ahnouncements, sald yesterday that the Pop~ wouid not make his first exit from the Vatican grounds on May 30, as had been planned. TH® date has been post- poned to “another day as yet unchosen.” The reason for the postponement, as given in the publication, was the physi- cal impossibility of ratifying the Lateran treaties with the Italian government by the end of this month. Another con- sideration was the amount of time required to arrange a eucharistic pro- cession of proper dignity. ° The newspaper drew the inference that the Vatican authorities wished to make the first appearance of the holy father outside of the restricted precincts | the most solemn event possible.
