dc.description.abstractMany patients in an intensive care and the operating room require the mechanical ventilation of their lungs. All thoracic surgery patients, for example, require mechanical ventilation. Some patients simply need assistance breathing, when a patient is recovering from certain illnesses and operations for example. In any case, ventilators can take over the major effort of respiration for the patient. Some people use the term ventilator and respirator interchangeable. They are not the same. A respirator is a device that supplies or filters air in a harsh environment. The patient is breathing on their own when they use a respirator. In most cases, without the ventilator, the patient could not breathe, or would have great difficulty breathing.en_US
