Difference between medical and household ventilators

As an effective means of artificially replacing the function of spontaneous ventilation, the ventilator has been widely used in respiratory failure caused by various reasons, anesthesia respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support treatment and emergency resuscitation, which occupies an important position in the field of modern medicine. The ventilator is a vital medical equipment that can prevent and treat respiratory failure, reduce complications, save and prolong the life of patients.

According to different usage scenarios, ventilators can be divided into medical ventilator and household ventilator. For home use, we usually chooses a household ventilator. People who generally snore and suffer from sleep apnea use a single-level ventilator. For patients with lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema, it is recommended to use a bilevel ventilator. Medical ventilators are often a sharp tool for treating acute and severe respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, with complex operations and powerful functions. Ventilators for treatment are often used for patients with complex and serious conditions, and are required to have complete functions and can perform various breathing modes to meet the needs of changing conditions.

Although the home ventilator is simple to use, its choice is usually prescribed or recommended by a doctor. Medical breathing machine requires professional medical personnel to operate, and their selection usually requires higher functional performance.
