hengityskonejä

Hengityskonejä is a Finnish term that translates to "breathing machines" or "ventilators" in English. These are medical devices designed to assist or replace the natural breathing function of a person. They are used in a variety of medical settings, including intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency medical services.

There are several types of ventilators, including invasive and non-invasive. Invasive ventilators require an endotracheal tube or a tracheostomy tube to be inserted into the patient's airway to deliver air. Non-invasive ventilators, such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) machines, deliver air through a mask that fits over the patient's nose and mouth.

Hengityskonejä are used to treat a wide range of respiratory conditions, such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and sleep apnea. They can also be used to support patients who are undergoing surgery or who have suffered a traumatic injury that affects their breathing.

The use of hengityskonejä is a critical component of modern medical care, helping to save lives and improve the quality of life for countless patients. The technology behind these machines is constantly evolving, with advancements leading to more sophisticated and personalized treatment options.
