lélegeztetésnek

Lélegeztetésnek is a Hungarian term that translates to "ventilation" or "respiration" in English. It generally refers to the process of breathing, the mechanical act of air moving in and out of the lungs. This can encompass both spontaneous breathing, where the body functions naturally, and artificial ventilation, which is a medical intervention.

In a medical context, lélegeztetésnek often specifically refers to mechanical ventilation. This is a life support technique used when a patient cannot breathe adequately on their own. A mechanical ventilator assists or replaces the natural breathing process by delivering air or oxygen into the lungs. This can be done through a mask placed over the nose and mouth or, more commonly, via an endotracheal tube inserted into the trachea.

The decision to use lélegeztetésnek is typically made when a patient experiences respiratory failure due to various conditions such as severe lung disease, trauma, surgery, or neurological disorders. The goal of artificial ventilation is to ensure sufficient oxygenation of the blood and removal of carbon dioxide, thereby supporting vital organ function. The settings and duration of lélegeztetésnek are carefully monitored and adjusted by medical professionals based on the patient's condition and response. While crucial for survival in many cases, mechanical ventilation also carries potential risks and complications.
