Overview

Mechanical ventilation refers to the process of delivering air to a person's lungs via a machine. The machine pushes pressurized air into the person's lungs to assist with breathing, and is usually done in cases of severe respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation can be either invasive, where a tube is inserted into the person's airway, or non-invasive, where a face mask is used. It is a life-saving medical procedure and has been used for decades to save countless lives. It is used for conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and post-operative respiratory failure.
