Mechanical Ventilator

A mechanical ventilator is a medical device that helps people breathe when they can't do so effectively on their own, often due to illness or injury. It delivers oxygen to the lungs and removes carbon dioxide by connecting to a patient's airway through a tube. The ventilator can be set to control the rate and depth of breathing, ensuring the patient receives the necessary support. Commonly used in hospitals, it is vital for patients in critical care situations, such as those with severe respiratory conditions. The goal is to maintain adequate oxygen levels and support lung function during recovery.
