Answer
A ventilator is used in critical care when a patient cannot breathe on their own. A ventilator is connected to a breathing tube which is placed into the patient through their nose or their mouth. This breathing tube is connected to the ventilator and the physician decides how fast, and how deep the ventilator will breathe for the patient. A respiratory therapist will set the ventilator according to what the doctor orders and monitors how well the patient is being assisted to breathe. Patient's are placed on a ventilator for different reasons: after surgery until they wake up, due to trauma, due to a respiratory condition. The goal is to assist the patient in breathing until they are able to start breathing on their own.
