Mechanical Ventilation & Respiratory Support

Mechanical Ventilation & Respiratory Support

Mechanical ventilation and respiratory support are essential treatments for patients who are unable to maintain adequate breathing or oxygen levels on their own. This critical care service provides carefully monitored respiratory support for patients with severe breathing difficulties, respiratory failure, serious infections, postoperative complications, or other conditions affecting lung function.

When Is Mechanical Ventilation Needed?

Mechanical ventilation may be recommended when a patient cannot breathe effectively, maintain healthy oxygen levels, or remove enough carbon dioxide from the body. Depending on the patient's condition, respiratory support may include oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation such as CPAP or BiPAP, or invasive ventilation through an endotracheal tube.

Comprehensive Respiratory Monitoring

Patients receiving ventilatory support require close observation. Critical care teams monitor oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, blood gases, heart rate, and other important clinical parameters. Ventilator settings are adjusted according to the patient's medical condition and response to treatment.
