Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Respiration, Artificial

Artificial respiration in healthcare refers to medical interventions used to support or replace the normal breathing process in individuals who are experiencing respiratory failure or other breathing difficulties. Some common forms of artificial respiration include:

Mechanical ventilation: the use of a machine to deliver air into the lungs through a tube inserted into the trachea

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP): a treatment that uses a machine to deliver a constant flow of air into the airways to keep the airways open

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV): a form of mechanical ventilation that uses a mask over the nose or mouth to deliver air without the need for a tracheal tube

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): a lifesaving technique that involves manual compressions and breaths to maintain blood flow and oxygenation in individuals who have suffered cardiac arrest

Artificial respiration is used in healthcare to support individuals with breathing difficulties, and it plays a critical role in saving lives and improving outcomes in individuals with serious respiratory problems. It is often used in emergency situations, such as cardiac arrest or acute respiratory distress syndrome, and in long-term care for individuals with chronic respiratory problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or neuromuscular diseases.
