There are two main types of ventilators: invasive and non-invasive. Invasive ventilation involves delivering oxygen through an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, while non-invasive ventilation delivers oxygen without intubation, such as through CPAP or BiPAP. A ventilator is a medical device that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air in and out of the lungs. There are several modes of ventilation including CMV, SIMV, and spontaneous modes, which differ in how breaths are delivered and parameters that can be adjusted. Ventilators are used when a patient is physically unable to breathe or is breathing insufficiently, as indicated by factors like low GCS, abnormal blood gases, labs, or cardiac

2. What Is Ventilator
• A ventilator is a type of breathing apparatus, a class of medical
technology that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable
air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is
physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently

4. Difference B/W Invasive &Non-Invasive Ventilation
• Mechanical or Invasive Ventilation: Invasive ventilation
is positive pressure delivered to the patient's lungs via an
endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy tube.
• Non-invasive ventilation: Involves the delivery of oxygen into the
lungs via positive pressure without the need for endotracheal
intubation e.g. (Bipap, CPAP).

6. Modes Of Ventilator
• CMV MODE : Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV) is another way to
describe mechanical ventilation where all of the patient's breaths are being
provided by the ventilator.
• Parameter :
1-Resp Rate 2- Tidal Volume
3-PEEP 4- Fio2

7. Cont………
• SIMV MODE : Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation is a type
of volume control mode of ventilation. With this mode, the ventilator will
deliver a mandatory (set) number of breaths with a set volume while at the
same time allowing spontaneous breaths.
Parameter :
1-Resp Rate 2- Tidal Volume
3-PEEP 4- Fio2 5-Pressure Support

Spontaneous Mode: Spontaneous modes of ventilation allow for a
return of some of the normal physiologic breathing processes.
Parameter :
Pressure Support
PEEP
FIO2
