Using a ventilator to breathe for a very sick baby while her lungs recover.
Ventilation from the operation of a fan, either exhausting air from a house, supplying air, or both.
Mechanical help with breathing, using an electrically powered device that 'pushes' air into the airways/lungs during breathing in, and allows air to leave the lungs during breathing out. The air may be oxygen-enriched.
The use of mechanical ventilation fans to pull air through the animal building.
Mechanical ventilation is used to support or replace the function of the lungs. A machine called a ventilator (or respirator) forces air into the lungs. The ventilator is attached to a tube inserted in the nose or mouth and down into the windpipe (or trachea). Mechanical ventilation often is used to assist a person through a short-term problem or for prolonged periods in which irreversible respiratory failure exists due to injuries to the upper spinal cord or a progressive neurological disease.
support of breathing with a mechanical ventilator, via an endotracheal tube or a tracheosotomy tube
Use of a machine called a ventilator or respirator to improve the exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere.
A life-preserving procedure in which a machine called a mechanical ventilator is used to delivery air to the lungs via an endotracheal tube. Mechanical ventilation is used in cases where gas exchange is impaired or lung failure has occurred.
Controlled, purposeful introduction of outdoor air to the conditioned space.
The use of a machine to take over the role of a patient's respiratory muscles, inducing rhythmic inflation and emptying of the lungs, to permit adequate transportation of oxygenation and ventilation.
supplies air to the space (using positive pressure) or exhausts it from the space (using negative pressure).
Artificial ventilation, which is activated by an fan or other mechanism to move air.
In medicine, mechanical ventilation is a method to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing when patients cannot do so on their own, and must be done so after invasive intubation with an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube through which air is directly delivered (in contrast to noninvasive ventilation). In many cases, mechanical ventilation is used in acute settings such as in the ICU for a short period of time during a serious illness. For some patients who have certain chronic illnesses that require long-term ventilation assistance, they are also able to do so at home or other nursing/rehabilitation institution with the help of respiratory therapists and physicians.
