Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical Ventilation is a crucial medical intervention used to provide respiratory support to patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. It involves using a ventilator, a machine that delivers pressurized oxygen to the lungs, regulating the patient's breathing rate and volume. Mechanical Ventilation is primarily employed in critical care settings such as intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments for patients with severe respiratory conditions like pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
