einblasen

Einblasen is a German verb meaning to blow air into something, causing inflation, aeration, or filling. The prefix ein- conveys movement into something, while blasen means to blow. The term can be used literally or figuratively in various contexts.

In everyday language, einblasen is used for inflating objects: tires, balloons, air mattresses, or packaging components that are blown full of air. It can also describe introducing air or gas into a space to ventilate or dry it, or to test for leaks by using a controlled air flow.

In industry and technology, the term may refer to introducing air into cavities, pipes, or chambers as part of a process such as testing, aeration, or purging. Some processes use air to aid drying, cleaning, or other workflows, though terminology varies by field.

In medicine and clinical settings, einblasen historically referred to the artificial introduction of air into a body cavity or organ. Modern terminology usually distinguishes Beatmung (ventilation) or Insufflation and uses more precise procedure names rather than the general verb.
