ventilator
Significado: A machine that mechanically assists or replaces a patient's breathing by moving air into and out of the lungs when they are unable to breathe adequately on their own.
Ventilators are essential equipment in intensive care units and became widely discussed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The process of connecting a patient to a ventilator is called mechanical ventilation. The term can also refer to a device that circulates fresh air in a room, though the medical sense now predominates. Collocations include 'placed on a ventilator,' 'ventilator support,' and 'weaned off the ventilator.'
