A portable ventilator is a compact, mobile device used to help people breathe in emergencies. It provides mechanical support by pushing air into the lungs of individuals who have trouble breathing on their own. The device can be easily moved and used in various settings, such as at the scene of an emergency or in a transport vehicle.
The ventilator has controls to adjust the amount and rate of air delivered, ensuring the patient gets the right level of support. It usually includes a mask or breathing tube that fits over the patient’s nose and mouth or directly into the airway. This portable equipment is essential for providing immediate respiratory support and stabilizing patients until they can reach a hospital or receive further medical care.
