What is inspired ventilation?

Inspired ventilation refers to a method of mechanical ventilation where air is delivered to a patient's lungs through a ventilator, typically during the inhalation phase of breathing. This technique is often used in critical care settings to support patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. Inspired ventilation can be delivered in various modes, allowing for controlled or assisted breaths based on the patient's needs. It ensures that oxygen is supplied effectively while removing carbon dioxide from the body.
