Description

A mechanical ventilator, also known as a respirator, is a medical device used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing in patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. It delivers a controlled flow of air or oxygen to the patient's lungs through an endotracheal tube or a mask, helping to maintain proper oxygenation and ventilation. Mechanical ventilators are commonly used in intensive care units (ICUs), operating rooms, and emergency departments to support patients with respiratory failure, acute lung injury, or other conditions that impair lung function. These devices come in various types and modes, including invasive ventilation (using an endotracheal tube) and non-invasive ventilation (using a mask or nasal interface). Mechanical ventilators provide adjustable parameters such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), allowing healthcare providers to customize ventilation settings based on the patient's needs. They play a crucial role in managing critically ill patients and are essential tools in modern healthcare for providing life-saving respiratory support.
