    Summary

    Two early Danish respirators, the August Krogh (1931) and Claus Bang (post-1952 polio epidemic), were developed but faced challenges. The Krogh respirator had practical nursing issues, while the Bang respirator proved technically unreliable for long-term use.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Engineering
    • Respiratory Technology
    • History of Medicine

    Background:

    • The development of mechanical ventilation was significantly influenced by historical events, such as the polio epidemic.
    • Early mechanical respirators, like the Drinker tank respirator, laid the groundwork for subsequent innovations.
    • The need for effective respiratory support devices became critical during major public health crises.
