Does anyone know of an economical positive action ventalator that is
small and can be installed on a Jazzy made by PRIDE." I have become
more ventaltor dependent as result of several broken bones in the
last year beginning with 4 ribs. My diaprham is inactive as result of
spinal-bulbar polio at age 17 in '48. I use intercostal and sterno-
clydo mastoid muscles for breathing. Broken ribs knocked out 4
intercostals that have not fully regenerated I do not have a trach.

I now have two vintage Bennett 500's( one in bath and one at
breakfast table) and a Respironics BiPaP S/T. I use BiPaP and
rocking bed at night.

Thanks for any info.
