ventilation management

Ventilation management involves controlling the flow of air in and out of a patient’s lungs, especially for those who can't breathe effectively on their own. It is used in medical settings to support or replace natural breathing through machines called ventilators. Proper management ensures the right amount of oxygen reaches the blood and removes carbon dioxide, preventing lung injury and improving recovery. Healthcare providers carefully set and monitor ventilator parameters, such as pressure, volume, and rate, to tailor support to each patient's needs and ensure safe, effective breathing assistance.
