How do ventilators at home work?

Home ventilators assist individuals with respiratory difficulties by delivering a controlled flow of air or oxygen directly into the lungs. They can be set to provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or assist with breathing through volume or pressure support modes. Users typically wear a mask or have a tracheostomy tube connected to the ventilator, which monitors and adjusts airflow based on the patient's needs. These devices often come with alarms and settings that can be adjusted by healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective ventilation.
