Surgical ICU Ventilator Medical Device helps patients breathe

What is a Surgical ICU Ventilator? A Surgical ICU Ventilator is a medical device prototype that helps a patient to breathe. Patients are usually placed on a ventilator because of a medical problem that makes it hard for them to breathe well on their own. The ventilator medical device prototype brings oxygen into the lungs and helps get rid of carbon dioxide from the patient’s body. On the ventilator, the body is able to rest so that it can heal. The Surgical ICU Ventilator medical device prototype can help with breathing or totally breathe for the patient. Often patients on a ventilator are given medicine that puts them in a coma-like condition so that the ventilator does all the work of breathing. 

Patients can be fed through an IV (intravenous) or feeding tube while on the Surgical ICU Ventilator medical device prototype. However, some patients without tracheostomy tubes are able to eat by mouth. Sometimes a patient may become dependent on a Surgical ICU Ventilator medical device prototype because of his or her medical problems. This may make it difficult to get the patient off the Surgical ICU Ventilator medical device prototype. When the patient’s medical problems have improved and he or she is well enough, the ventilator will get off.
