A home care ventilator is a medical device that assists or takes over the function of breathing for patients who have weak or failing respiratory systems.
It delivers pressurized air or a mixture of air and oxygen to the lungs, helping patients breathe more easily and improving their quality of life.
Control unit: Houses the computer and settings for regulating air pressure, flow, and breath rate.
Humidifier: Adds moisture to the air to prevent dryness and irritation.
Tubing: Connects the control unit to the mask, nasal prongs, or tracheostomy tube.
Power source: Can be plugged into an outlet or run on batteries for portability.
Improved quality of life: Allows patients to live independently at home, surrounded by loved ones, and participate in daily activities.

Understanding settings and adjustments: Learning how to modify air pressure, flow rate, and other parameters based on individual needs.
Mask or tracheostomy care: Knowing how to properly wear, clean, and replace masks or maintain tracheostomy tubes.
