Types of Breathing Machines

 



If a person struggles to breathe on their own, a respiratory machine can be used to help facilitate their breathing and provide the oxygen they need.

Definition:

A breathing device may be a piece of kit that facilitates inhaling the case of low oxygen levels within the bloodstream. It aids the body to overcome the inability to breathe normally, such as during respiratory failure. Many people suffer from afflictions such as asthmatic conditions, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive lung disease. Breathing machines help the victim of lung problems carry on a more normal life by aiding the person as needed.

Asthma Nebulizers

Asthma nebulizers help people who suffer from asthma by delivering liquid medication via a mist, which is inhaled into the lungs through this machine. Nebulizers are used in the home and are effective in delivering asthma medications to adults and children. Physicians prescribe the nebulizer machine, which usually is covered under insurance.

Ventilator

A ventilator also referred to as a breathing machine or respirator, helps patients breathe by providing pure oxygen to their lungs through a breathing tube placed into the mouth or trachea. They are required whenever an individual cannot breathe on their own due to illness, injury, or recent surgery. Ventilators are often used in both hospitals and long-term care facilities and require close monitoring.

C-PAP Breathing Machines

Sleep apnea is a dangerous condition in which the person does not receive enough oxygen while sleeping. This can be caused by a short neck or an anatomically blocked airway caused by an enlarged pharynx. A C-PAP (continuous positive airway pressure) breathing device blows air into the nose via a mask, which successively keeps the airway open and aids within the absorption of oxygen.

BiPAP Breathing Machine

A bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) machine is similar to a CPAP machine. It can also be used for treating sleep apnea in addition to other respiratory issues such as pulmonary oedema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or respiratory failure without resorting to more invasive forms of treatment. The main difference between BiPAP and CPAP is that BiPAP provides both an inhale pressure and an exhale pressure while monitoring breathing.

Oxygen Concentrator

The oxygen concentrator delivers pure oxygen via a mask or nasal cannula, a small pronged tube that is placed in both nostrils. It may be used for oxygen therapy and in hyperbaric chambers. Oxygen therapy delivers pure oxygen into the lungs and heart of the person and raises it to a level that will aid the person by giving a sense of wellbeing.
