The history and development of IMV have been reviewed. Special attention has been paid to the problems associated with the use of PEEP in combination with IMV. We have described a modification of the Brompton Manley ventilator for use with IMV and PEEP and we have investigated the performance of different types of inspiratory reservoirs.
