What will be an ideal response?
Disadvantages and complications associated with the iron lung type of negative pressure ventilator are (1) poor patient access and (2) potential for a decreased cardiac output known as "tank shock". Since the iron lung encloses the patient, it restricts access to the patient for routine health care. Tank shock may result from a decreased venous blood return to the right atrium.
