When treating patients (2) with severely injured or sick lungs, there is often the problem of providing a life sustaining treatment without risking further damages to the lungs through the treatment itself. The apparatus according to the present invention is intended to be used for improving the distribution of gas in the lungs of a patient (2). The apparatus comprises means (24, 26A-B, 28) adapted to direct a controllable pressure to one or several selected positions on the patient's (2) thorax. In one embodiment of the apparatus, the means comprises a vest (24) which includes compartments which can be filled with a fluid under pressure from a pressure source (28) via tubes (26A-B).
