respiratory support systems
Respiratory support systems assist with breathing when the lungs or airways are compromised. They deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, helping ensure the body's tissues get enough oxygen. These systems include devices like ventilators, which mechanically assist or take over breathing, and oxygen therapy equipment, which provides extra oxygen through masks or nasal prongs. They are used in hospitals for patients with severe respiratory conditions, during surgeries, or in emergencies. Effective respiratory support improves oxygen levels, reduces the work of breathing, and supports recovery when natural respiration is insufficient.
