A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs so as to deliver breaths to a patient who is unable to physically breathe own their own. The patient is connected to the ventilator with a hollow tube that goes in their mouth and down into their main airway or trachea.
It can also be used to aid those patients who are breathing insufficiently.
There are two main types of mechanical ventilation which are:
- Positive-pressure ventilation; and
- Negative-pressure ventilation
Positive-pressure ventilation pushes the air into the lungs.
Negative-pressure ventilation sucks the air into the lungs by making the chest expand and contract.
The basic components of a ventilation equipment consists of the power source, controls, safety features and monitors.
