Also known as respirator, mechanical respirators, mechanical respirator, mechanical ventilator, mechanical ventilators
A ventilator is a type of breathing apparatus, a class of medical technology that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently. Ventilators may be computerized microprocessor-controlled machines, but patients can also be ventilated with a simple, hand-operated bag valve mask. Ventilators are chiefly used in intensive-care medicine, home care, and emergency medicine (as standalone units) and in anesthesiology (as a component of an anesthesia machine).
AI overview
A ventilator is a medical device that mechanically moves air in and out of a patient's lungs, delivering breaths when someone cannot breathe on their own or is not breathing adequately. These machines range from simple hand-operated devices to computerized systems and are commonly used in hospitals, emergency settings, and home care to keep patients alive.
