A breathing machine that is used to treat respiratory failure by promoting ventilation; also called a respirator
construction designed to lead air below decks May have a cowl, which can be angled into or away from the wind; and may be constructed with baffles, so that water is not allowed below
Equipment that mechanically does the breathing for the unresponsive patient The machinery serves to deliver air with the appropriate percentage of oxygen and at the appropriate rate
-A ventilator captures heating or cooling energy from stale indoor air and transfers it to fresh incoming air
A mechanical device used to provide assisted breathing for the person who cannot breathe on his own The ventilator pumps humidified air (with a measured amount of oxygen) into the lungs via an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube The elasticity of the lungs allows the air to be expelled
Machine that breathes for patient when patient's lungs can no longer inhale/exhale on their own Requires intubation It is generally the last resort when a patient is in status asthmaticus
