  2. Breathing circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_circuit

    The breathing circuit may be open, closed, or semi-closed, depending on whether breathing gas is recycled. A closed or semi-closed circuit will include components which remove carbon dioxide from the exhaled gas and add oxygen before it is delivered for inhalation, so that the mixture remains stable and suitable for supporting life.

  3. Mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_ventilation

    Mechanical ventilation helps move air into and out of the lungs, with the main goal of helping the delivery of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. Mechanical ventilation is used for many reasons, including to protect the airway due to mechanical or neurologic cause, to ensure adequate oxygenation, or to remove excess carbon dioxide from the ...

  4. Control of ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_of_ventilation

    The control of ventilation is the physiological mechanisms involved in the control of breathing, which is the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Ventilation facilitates respiration. Respiration refers to the utilization of oxygen and balancing of carbon dioxide by the body as a whole, or by individual cells in cellular respiration. [1]

  5. Ventilator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilator

    The ventilator pushes warm, moist air (or air with increased oxygen) to the patient. Exhaled air flows away from the patient. In its simplest form, a modern positive pressure ventilator, consists of a compressible air reservoir or turbine, air and oxygen supplies, a set of valves and tubes, and a disposable or reusable "patient circuit". The ...

  6. Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-restricted,_oxygen...

    The main components of flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation devices include An inspiratory pressure safety release valve. A trigger or level positioned to allow both hands to remain on the mask to provide an airtight seal while supporting and tilting the patients head. A peak flow rate of 100% oxygen at up to 40 L/min.

  7. Breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_apparatus

    A ventilator is a type of equipment 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. Ventilators are computerized microprocessor-controlled machines, but patients can also be ventilated with a simple, hand ...
