No. Â?People on ventilators are usually unconscious and in Intensive Care Units.


Some people with diseases such as Myaesthenia Gravis reach a stage where their medication no longer works and their respiratory muscles stop working, so they could be on a ventilator at home and not unconscious. Â?But if their muscles are too weak for them to breathe, they certainly won't be walking around.

Can you walk on a hairline fracture?

Yes, but do it with a "walking boot" for protection from further abuse. As a matter of fact, most orthopedic surgeons ask their post-op patients who have had full breaks or hip replacements to try and walk around within 1-2 days after surgery. Seems that the increased activity provides a normal amount of stress to increase osteoblasts to help increase bone healing at the injured site.

What can cause a person on ventilator to die?

A person on a ventilator can die due to several factors, including underlying medical conditions such as severe lung disease, pneumonia, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that overwhelm the body's ability to sustain life. Other contributing factors may include complications like infections, blood clots, or organ failure. Additionally, ventilator-associated complications, such as barotrauma or ventilator-associated pneumonia, can further deteriorate a patient's condition. Ultimately, the effectiveness of the ventilator in supporting respiration and the patient's overall health status are critical in determining outcomes.
