Also known as a respirator, a medical device with an attached tube inserted into the lungs that helps a person breathe when they cannot breathe on their own. The ventilator pumps oxygen into the lungs.
A machine that helps a person breathe. The ventilator is connected to the endotracheal tube (ET Tube) - the tube that goes into the lungs. Just like blowing air into a balloon, the ventilator blows air into the lungs.
A mechanical device that assists or replaces that natural mechanism for breathing.
Respirator. A breathing machine.
a mechanical devise that helps the patient to breathe. Also know as a respirator.
A machine that mechanically assists patients to breathe (sometimes referred to as artificial respiration).
A machine that helps the patient breathe (Breathing Machine, Respirator).
A machine that "breathes" for a patient when the patient is not able to breathe properly.
a large "breathing machine" that automatically provides breaths for someone with an artificial airway.
A device that mechanically assists or controls breathing continuously through a tracheostomy or by endotracheal tube.
An artificial breathing machine.
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.
A machine used to assist breathing via an endotracheal tube inserted into the trachea (windpipe). Required by infants who cannot breathe on their own due to lungs that are too immature or sick. There are two types of ventilators: 1) Conventional - delivers breaths to an infant that mimic the type of breaths the infant would take on his/her own; 2) High Frequency - uses very small rapid breaths to breathe for an infant in a very efficient manner. The "Oscillator" is a type of high frequency ventilator used in the ICN. An infant on an oscillator will appear to be vibrating from the very frequent breaths.
a device that facilitates breathing in cases of respiratory failure
a breathing machine that is connected to a tube in the patient's windpipe, an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube
a device to help an individual breathe
a machine attached to a tube that helps a patient breathe
a machine at the bedside that is attached to the breathing tube (endotracheal tube) that sick babies have placed in their windpipe
a machine that helps the patient breathe and sustain blood oxygen within normal limits
a machine that is used when you need help to breathe
a machine that performs a very simple job
a machine, usually connected to an endotracheal tube, that can breathe for you
a machine which mechanically assists patients in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (sometimes referred to as artificial respiration)
a mechanical device that assists breathing -- moving air into and out of the lungs
a mechanical device that forces air in and out of the lungs through a tube passed through the nose or mouth and into the windpipe (trachea)
equipment that does the breathing for the patient by delivering air in the appropriate percentage of oxygen and at the appropriate rate.
A machine used to help breathing problems. It works by pushing air or oxygen into the lungs. This air or oxygen is given through an ET tube [see Endotracheal Tube).
A machine used to help a person breathe. Also called a respirator, a ventilator can assist with breathing or breathe entirely for a patient.
A breathing machine that is used to treat respiratory failure by promoting ventilation; also called a respirator.
A machine that helps a patient breath after surgery.
A machine that delivers oxygen and can actually breathe for a baby that is not able to breathe on his own.
a machine used to take over breathing when a person cannot breathe on his or her own
An apparatus for administering artifical respiration in cases of respiratory failure. It is also know as a respirator.
Mechanical device to facilitate breathing in persons with impaired diaphragm function.
the proper term for a breathing machine used to treat respiratory failure and help support breathing.
a machine that helps a patient breathe Back
In medicine, a machine used to help a patient breathe. Also called respirator.
A machine which will help you to breathe after surgery
A ventilator, also known as a respirator, is a machine that pushes air into the lungs through a tube placed in the trachea (breathing tube). Ventilators are used when a person cannot breathe on their own or cannot breathe effectively enough to provide adequate oxygen to the cells of the body or rid the body of carbon dioxide.
A mechanical device that assists or replaces the natural mechanisms for breathing The terms ventilator and respirator are used interchangeably, but ventilator is currently the preferred term.
Also called a respirator. A machine that pumps oxygen into the lungs when they are not working efficiently. This encourages quiet breathing and the prevention of coughing and straining.
A machine which mechanically assists a patient?s breathing, or takes over this function when they cannot breathe.
A machine that "breathes" for a person when he or she is not able to breath properly. In the case of brain death, when the person is clinically dead, the person is sometimes incorrectly referred to as being on life support. In this case, saying that the person is brain dead and that his or her body function is being maintained by a ventilator is more accurate.
A machine that assists or controls breathing; a respirator.
