Artificial ventilation

Artificial ventilation refers to medical techniques used to help someone breathe when they are unable to do so effectively on their own. This can involve mechanical devices, commonly known as ventilators, which push air into the lungs, or manual methods like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It is often used in emergency situations, during surgeries, or for patients with severe respiratory issues. The goal is to ensure that the body receives enough oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, maintaining vital functions until the patient can breathe independently again.
