What are respiratory sensors?
Respiratory sensors. Respiratory sensors monitor oxygen intake and carbon dioxide output.
What is respiratory depression?
This occurs when respiratory drive is lower and breaths per minute decrease - to the point that added oxygenation (or even respiratory support on a ventilator) is required. A number of conditions and diseases can cause respiratory depression. Common conditions include severe respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, exacerbation of COPD, among others.

When a person is on a ventilator can they walk around?
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.
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.
Do Bipap machines have to be set up by a respiratory thrapist?

What careers involve the respiratory system?

They are also involved in ICU care when a patient is on a ventilator. Nurses teach all aspects of lung health and about lung diseases and medications, treatments, self-help or home therapies, etc.
