“…Also, in 1974, Srikasibhandha et al . recommended that bacterial and fungal contamination of infant ventilators had to be avoided to enable prolonged artificial ventilation of the newborn [12]. Infection was apparently one of the main complications of prolonged artificial ventilation.…”

“…To enable sterilisation of the Amsterdam Infant Ventilator, the gas inlet, positive–negative pressure valve and gas outlets were transferred to the outside. Srikasibhandha and his coworkers put these parts into a Perspex block of about 3.5 × 4.0 × 2.5 cm attached on the outside in front of the ventilator [12]. This team modified the Amsterdam Infant Ventilator again in 1976 by placing an audible leak alarm based on photo‐electric recording of the manometer setting at the 8 cmH 2 O level, permitting the hand of the manometer to pass to and fro freely [13].…”

This prevented unrecognised disconnection of the ventilator or unnoticed development of a major leak.…”

Summary At the First International Symposium on the History of Modern Anaesthesia (1982), Professor Keuskamp mentioned that the introduction of breathing machines for lung ventilation during operations had taken over ‘the tiresome handwork of ventilation’. This paper traces some aspects of Keuskamp's professional career and his role in the development of the Amsterdam Infant Ventilator. In 1974, Urban and Weitzner from the State University of New York reported that the ventilator was a reliable and effective constant‐volume paediatric ventilator. Other clinicians from the United States and Europe echoed this satisfactory clinical evaluation. At present, this paediatric ventilator is still in use for the initial ventilation of small infants and for the mechanical ventilation of different animal species in a variety of experimental settings.
