Which is your favorite ventilator?

What is a ventilator?

A ventilator is a mechanical device designed to move air in and out of the lungs. This air is for a patient who is insufficiently breathing or physically unable. There are many computerized machines that can handle a wide range of ventilation modes and patients. Ventilators are sometimes referred to as respirators, which is a term stemming from commonly used devices in the 1950’s. Today, ventilators typically use a compressor, or a turbine, to push air through the patient circuit. Ventilators can adjust for an array of parameters including; pressure, volume, and flow. Ventilators are classified as life-critical systems because failure may result in death. Because of these classifications, many precautions must be taken to ensure they are highly reliable, including their power supply. They are designed carefully so no single point of failure can endanger the patient. They might even have manual backup mechanisms to enable hand-driven respiration in the absence of power.
