Part of Breathing Restored by Tilting Patient On Stretcher

Mounted on a wheeled cart that permits tilting, a multi-purpose stretcher adopted by the British Army can be used as an operating table or for artificial respiration. By tilting the patient up and down the stretcher induces breathing similar to the function of an “iron lung.”
