"In 1951, after spending time abroad in Sweden and England, he spent half a year working with James Elam in Iowa, USA, where he became interested in ventilation and inventing inventions The strike of these truck drivers, who cut off hospitals from the supply of necessary material, was the trigger for the first self-expanding breathing bag for RUBEN in 1954. The device, initially assembled with the help of bicycle spokes, became the prototype of what the American Medical Association 196 4 described as one of the most important advances in anesthesia in the last 25 years "(Wikipedia).
