Boyle's law states that as the volume of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas increases proportionally, and vice versa. In a negative pressure ventilator, the patient's chest is enclosed in a chamber that is sealed to create a vacuum or negative pressure. As the volume within the chamber decreases, the pressure within the chamber (and therefore the patient's chest) increases, leading to inspiration. When the vacuum is released, the pressure within the chamber decreases, leading to expiration. This operation is in line with Boyle's law.
