The goal of mechanical ventilation is to:
- improve the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the patient’s blood and the air in the patient’s lungs.
- support the patient’s work of breathing1 when his/her own physiology fails.
ResMed offers a broad range of mechanical ventilation options for invasive and non-invasive applications to suit different patients and care settings.
