Mechanical ventilation is a medical procedure that employs a device to aid or substitute an individual's respiratory efforts. It becomes necessary when an individual's breathing is impaired, frequently due to respiratory failure, pulmonary infections, or physical injuries. The ventilator dispenses a precisely regulated blend of oxygen and air into the lungs, facilitating the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
