Ventilator Support – Myths vs Reality | Dr. Sunil Karanth | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

Hearing that a patient is in the ICU on a ventilator often creates fear. In reality, a ventilator is simply a machine that supports breathing when the lungs or body are too weak to do so. More than three out of four patients on ventilator support recover, provided the underlying illness is treatable. Ventilation is not a sign of hopelessness, it is a temporary support system that helps patients get better while doctors treat the root cause. It’s important to understand that ventilator care saves lives and, in most cases, patients come off it once their condition improves.
