An iron lung is a totally different kind of machine than a ventilator. The body is encased in a large chamber with the head sticking out. The pressure is lowered in the chamber, which causes the lungs to expand. By repeatedly increasing then decreasing the pressure, the patient is made to breathe.


That's also an option. Just duct tape yourself into one of those big vacuum storage bags with a couple hula hoops around you and stick the vacuum cleaner nozzle onto its valve in time with your desired breathing rate. It's basically the same thing.
