What is artificial ventilation?

Artificial ventilation is the use of a mechanical ventilator to assist the breathing of someone undergoing surgery or who cannot breathe independently due to a critical state or illness. The ventilator decreases the work of breathing for the patient until they no longer need it.

What are the benefits of artificial ventilation?

Artificial ventilation offers several important benefits to patients:

• It reduces the effort the patient has to exert to breathe – allowing their respiratory muscles to rest and giving them time to recover in order to breathe normally on their own.
• It provides the patient with adequate oxygen and removes carbon dioxide.
• It prevents injury from breathing by providing a stable airway.
