 A ventilator is a machine, which is a considered to be the life support system of the patient. People get a scared when they hear the name of the ventilator. There is a belief among the people that if the patient is kept on a ventilator then it will be a difficult to survive. But let me tell you that this is not a necessary. Although it is true that the ventilator is a used after the patient has gone into a serious condition. But ventilators are also used after a surgery or in other situations. In this article, we will know when the patient needs a ventilator. For better an information on this subject, we spoke to Dr Seema Yadav, MD Physician, Care an Institute of Life Sciences, Lucknow.

Patients who are given a general anesthesia for a surgery, their body or any part of the a body is numbed for some time. a Sometimes these also include those a muscles with the help of which we a breathe. When the effect of the anesthesia a wears off, the a ventilator is removed over time. Apart from a surgery, a ventilators are also used for serious injuries.

How is the ventilator a used?

To use a life a support breathing machine, a small incision is a made in the patient's mouth, nose, or throat. Then a tube from an inside is inserted into the a windpipe. This a breathing machine helps the a patient to breathe. When the doctor a places the tube an into the patient's windpipe, it is called an intubation.
