Introduction of ventilator


Introduction of ventilator


A ventilator is a medical device that helps to support breathing in critically ill patients. It is a life-saving device that is used in hospitals, intensive care units, and other healthcare facilities to treat patients who have trouble breathing on their own due to various reasons such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), heart failure, or neurological injury.


A ventilator works by delivering a controlled amount of air or oxygen into a patient's lungs through a tube that is inserted into their mouth or nose. The machine can control the pressure and flow of air to match the patient's breathing needs, ensuring that their lungs are adequately inflated. This can prevent lung injury, reduce the risk of infections, and help patients recover from their illness.


There are different types of ventilators available, including invasive and non-invasive ventilators. Invasive ventilators require a tube to be inserted into the patient's airway, while non-invasive ventilators deliver air through a mask that covers the patient's nose and mouth. Non-invasive ventilators are used for patients who have milder breathing difficulties and are less critically ill.


The use of ventilators has increased significantly in recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when there was a high demand for these devices to treat patients with severe respiratory symptoms. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of ventilators and the need for healthcare facilities to have access to these lifesaving devices.


In conclusion, ventilators play a crucial role in supporting breathing in critically ill patients and saving lives. They provide a controlled and safe way of delivering air or oxygen to the lungs, ensuring that patients receive the oxygen they need to recover from their illness. With advancements in technology, ventilators have become more sophisticated and user-friendly, making them an essential tool in modern healthcare.

MRI OF CERVICAL SPINE Forms

Normal MRI  OF CERVICAL SPINE: Protocol: Plain MR of the cervical spine was performed using routine turbo spin sequences in multiplanar planes of axial, sagittal and coronal planes using head and spine coils.The sequences used were T1 & T2 Axial, T1 & T2 Sagittal, T2 fat supressed coronal. Findings: There is loss of normal cervical lordosis with straightening of the cervical spine. The vertebral marrow signals of the cervical vertebrae are of adult marrow. The vertebral heights are maintained at all levels. No evidence of vertebral collapse or focal altered signals is noted within the vertebral bodies. Posterior elements including the pedicles are free. The signal intensities of the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus of cervical discs are relatively maintained at all levels.The  vertical heights of the cervical discs are relatively well-maintained. No remarkable disc bulges or anterior thecal intentations are seen.No evidence of cord com...
