How often does your nephew get asthma attacks? A short time in the porta lung could give him the rest he needs to go for very long periods of time without feeling that he can't breathe, especially if his asthma attacks are not so frequent. How is your nephew? Age depends a lot on how quickly the lungs can maintain good oxygen levels with the restriction to the airways. Perhaps, he would only have to be in the porta lung for an hour to get the rest needed and then go for a long time without any ventilator.

Maybe they could use the machine once in awhile. Does that sound feasible? i have a nephew who has excerise induced asthma. Right now he has walking pneumonia. He gets colds easily. Would this help him, if he needed to relax and get rest? He is very tall (6'3", that may be a problem though:) Would this work for someone who gets frequent colds or suffers from asthma?
