Mechanical Ventilation
A respirator, also known as a breathing machine or ventilator, is a medical device that provides oxygen for your body when it cannot breathe properly. This unit can push air gently into your lungs and enable it to come back out as your lungs do. A respirator is important during a surgical operation that uses general anesthesia. In addition, when hypoxia or hypoxemia progresses, this option might be necessary to prevent some life-threatening complications. [12]
