life support equipment

Life support equipment includes devices that help maintain essential bodily functions for patients unable to do so on their own. This equipment can assist with breathing (ventilators or oxygen tanks), circulation (heart pumps), or organ support (dialysis for kidneys). They are vital in hospitals to stabilize patients with severe injuries or illnesses, ensuring oxygen delivery, waste removal, and other critical processes until the body can recover or transplant is possible. Basically, life support equipment keeps vital functions going when the body cannot do so independently.
