A ventilator ICU is a machine that helps people breathe by pushing oxygen into their lungs and carbon dioxide out of their body. It is used in intensive care units (ICUs) to treat patients who are unable to breathe on their own due to a variety of conditions, such as:
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
- Pneumonia
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Neuromuscular diseases
- Severe trauma
Ventilators are also used to support patients during surgery and other medical procedures.

Ventilators can provide a number of benefits to patients, including:
- Improved oxygen levels in the blood
- Reduced work of breathing
- Increased lung capacity
- Improved ventilation-perfusion matching
