Life Support Techniques

Life support techniques refer to medical procedures and equipment used to maintain vital bodily functions in patients who are critically ill or unable to sustain them on their own. These techniques can include mechanical ventilation to assist breathing, cardiac support through medications or devices to keep the heart functioning, and dialysis to filter toxins from the blood when the kidneys fail. Life support is often used in emergency situations, surgeries, or when a patient is in a coma, and it aims to stabilize the patient until recovery or further treatment can occur.
