To piggy back on the same quote, I wonder if iron lungs should really be considered obsolete. I used cpap for a while and fitting a mask to your face is just a total pain. The default ones would scab my nose, even with foam ones I had to strap is so hard to avoid leaks that it left red marks on my neck for hours after I woke up. You have the change/clean the masks. You risk problems like the recent Phillips one where a component was disintegrating, going into people's lungs and giving them cancer. The iron lung not having to go over your face would avoid all of those problems so I'm surprised it completely disappeared.
