Is a ventilator and life support the same thing?

How you come to know that patient is dead while the patient is on ventilator?
When a patient can no longer breathe on his/her own and is placed on a ventilator to sustain life, he or she is also connected to machines that monitor heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, as well as the amount of oxygen being delivered to the lungs by the ventilator. As long as there is a blood pressure and heart rate, the patient is alive. If the patient is suspected to be brain dead (does not respond to stimuli), doctors can turn off the oxygen flow to see if the patient will begin breathing on his/her own. If the patient does not begin to breathe, the family will be notified and given the option of discontinuing life support. If aperson is brain-dead they are somtimes said to be in a coma. A coma patient can be monitored as having brain activity. Clearly alive, but not cognizant of their surroundings and non responsive. Also called Persistent Vegetative State or PVS. Brain death is showing no signs of brain activity. The brain stem is no longer controlling vital functions such as heartbeat,breathing and blood pressure. The body can be kept alive by mechanical means but dies when heroic means are ceased.
