Infant ventilators

Infant ventilators are medical devices designed to support the breathing of newborns or infants who have difficulty breathing on their own. They deliver a controlled flow of air, sometimes with added oxygen, into the baby’s lungs through a tube or mask. These ventilators help ensure the infant receives enough oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, aiding recovery from illness or premature birth. They can be set to operate automatically, adjusting to the baby’s needs, or be manually controlled by healthcare providers. Proper use of ventilators is crucial for supporting fragile infants' respiratory function during critical health situations.
