Mechanical Ventilation

Healthcare and Medical

Mechanical ventilation refers to the use of a machine (ventilator) to assist or replace spontaneous breathing in patients who cannot breathe adequately on their own, commonly used in intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency medicine. Respiratory therapists, critical care physicians, and nurses manage ventilator settings such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, and oxygen concentration to support patients with respiratory failure, during surgery, or with chronic lung conditions. The term can also refer to engineered air circulation systems in buildings, though in a clinical/career context it typically denotes life-support respiratory equipment.
