VACUUM CLEANER FOR HEART ATTACK

"Dramatic" Recovery Of Cases

HOT AIR PUMPED INTO LUNGS

By A Naval Correspondeat

The use of an electric vacuum eleaner to treat a certain type of failure of the heart is described In the current issue of The Lancet.

In certain patients a weak heart falls to maintain an adequate circula- tion through the lungs, and fluid accumulates there. If the air pres- sure within the lungs con be in- creased, it is found that blood al- ready present in the chest is forced onwards towards the heart, while the increased pressure prevents the delivery of excess of blood into the lungs.

The machine, which is designed to produce increased pressure, con- sists of a "blower," for which pur- pose an electric vacuum cleaner has been used.

An adjustable resistance is used to reduce the pressure, and F hot- water bottle is placed in the com- partment for the dust-bag so as to warm the air.
