Medical ventilator is a machine that delivers breathable air into and out of the lungs. Ventilator is used for patients who face difficulties in breathing. It consists of a tube which is connected to the patient’s windpipe and this breathing tube passes an air and oxygen into the lungs. It is available for hospitals as well for home use. There are two types of ventilator. They are:
Noninvasive ventilators- Noninvasive ventilator provides patients with breathing support through either mask or nasal prongs. Advantage of this ventilator is it reduces risk of lung damage which occurs from inspiratory pressures.
Invasive ventilators- Here patients who are on long term ventilation and require intense care will have ventilators in which a tube is inserted into patient’s mouth or nose. This tube delivers air on regular time. These ventilators are adjusted based on patients’ requirement.
