Sounds kinda scary. So if the battery goes flat or gets disconnected you just immediately die?

- yonatan8070 2y agoI mean, if this didn't exist you'd just immediately die a lot sooner. So I think it's a fair trade-off.

- Maxion 2y agoThese devices have double batteries, external power, and will beep like crazy already quite a while before it runs flat.
- ljf 2y agoI can’t find the link now, but that chap who died a couple of years ago after living most of his life in an iron lung, had a similar story of being transported home on the back of a flatbed truck with a generator running, if the power went out he suffocated. His mother slept by his bed and in the case of a power cut had to manually help him breathe until the power returned. An amazing man and amazing he made it so far in life.

At discharge, his parents rented a portable generator and a truck to bring him and his iron lung home. Beginning in 1954, with help from the March of Dimes and a physical therapist named Mrs. Sullivan, Alexander taught himself glossopharyngeal breathing, which allowed him to leave the iron lung for gradually increasing periods of time.
