The world's famous expert told how mechanical ventilators are helping patients to defeat the virus-









The coronavirus clears the lungs

The most common symptom in coronavirus-infected patients is shortness of breath. The condition becomes even more fragile in patients over 60 years of age. Mechanical ventilator is most useful here. Anesthesiologist Prof. of Austen Hospital, Australia. According to David Story, this is the most difficult phase, patients will die without ventilator. The ventilator is a machine that helps patients unable to breathe help breathing. With the help of this machine, the patient is breathed into the lungs through a tube inserted in the windpipe (trachea). Corona virus affects the respiratory system causing difficulty in breathing.

 









This is how the ventilator works


Anesthesia is given to the patient before being taken to the ventilator. In other cases, it is similar to the usual procedure, but more care is taken in the event of corona infection as there is a risk of infection spreading to the medical staff. During this time, a tube is put in their body to give oxygen. The windpipe is connected to the ventilator and from time to time the medical staff raises the air level so that oxygen can reach the lungs.








When is a ventilator needed?

According to Prof. Sarath Ranganathan, director of the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, the figures in Italy and Spain clearly show that corona cases will increase and require the most respiratory support, i.e. medical devices that help in breathing. It is difficult to survive without them. Normally a normal person breathes 15 times in a minute but if he is breathing 28 times then he needs a ventilator.









Getting a ventilator in critical condition in 30 minutes is very important

According to Dr. Ranganathan, if the patient needs a ventilator, it is necessary to provide it immediately. The condition is handled by applying an oxygen mask until the ventilator is available. If there is a serious condition, it is necessary to reach the ventilator patient within 30 minutes.
