Hayek Oscillator
The Hayek Oscillator is a non-invasive, biphasic, cuirass ventilator which works on the principle of applying pressure around the body to create chest movement outward for inhalation and inward for exhalation. Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV) is an established method of non-invasive ventilator treatment.
Details
Device typeNegative-pressure ventilator: An automatic cycling machine used to assist or control alveolar respiration that exerts a negative pressure on the external surface of the chest wall, expanding the chest and moving air into the lungs. The two versions of the device are: 1) a rigid container enclosing all of a patient's body below the neck (i.e., an iron lung); or 2) a wearable shell (a cuirass) where only the thoracoabdominal region is enclosed. In both variants, the pressure inside the container is reduced relative to the atmospheric pressure at the patient's mouth and/or nose.
