When To Use A Ventilator?
Adults, children, and babies might need to wear a ventilator when their lungs cannot function properly. This device can help with the following conditions: brain injury, coma, Lou Gerhig’s disease, lung infection, Guillain-Barre syndrome, drug overdose, COPD, collapsed lung, polio, pneumonia, myasthenia gravis, stroke, or premature development of lungs in babies. During surgery, the doctor might also give you a ventilator to help you do the breathing under general anesthesia. Sometimes, those who are recovering from surgery might need this device to breathe properly as well. [3]
