pediatric ventilation

Pediatric ventilation provides breathing support to infants and children who cannot breathe effectively on their own. It involves using machines called ventilators to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from their lungs. This support can be temporary, such as during illness or surgery, or longer-term for chronic conditions. The ventilator can assist by controlling the rate and depth of breaths, ensuring the child's body gets enough oxygen for vital functions. Medical teams carefully monitor and adjust settings to match each child’s needs, helping them recover and maintain healthy oxygen levels while their lungs heal or improve.
