1930 Arch. Pathol. 10 181 The first, which he calls the red type of iron lung, is the result of the first type of dust [sc. iron oxide dust].

1940 Bull. Hygiene 15 469/1 In siderosis (‘iron lung’) the colour of the lungs depends upon the nature and colour of the iron oxide inhaled but this condition is hardly met with nowadays.

2. Originally U.S. A type of mechanical respirator consisting of an airtight metal case, capable of enclosing a patient's entire body below the neck, within which alternating negative and positive pressure is created to reproduce the normal respiratory movements of the chest wall and lungs. Now chiefly historical.The iron lung was developed by Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw in 1928, and came into widespread use soon afterwards in the treatment of patients with poliomyelitis.
