Preferred Label : ventilator;
Definition : A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable
air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable
to breathe, or breathing insufficiently. Modern ventilators are computerized microprocessor-controlled
machines, but patients can also be ventilated with a simple, hand-operated bag valve
mask. Ventilators are chiefly used in intensive-care medicine, home care, and emergency
medicine (as standalone units) and in anesthesiology (as a component of an anesthesia
machine). (Wikipedia);
