Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Mechanically ventilated patients are individuals who cannot breathe effectively on their own due to illness, injury, or surgery. In these cases, a machine called a ventilator helps by delivering air, oxygen, and remove waste gases from the lungs through a tube inserted into the windpipe. This support ensures the body's tissues and organs receive enough oxygen to function properly while the underlying issue is treated. The ventilator is carefully adjusted and monitored by healthcare professionals to match each patient's specific needs, providing vital respiratory support during recovery.
