When is it needed?
- Severe pneumonia or lung infection
- COPD or asthma attacks not responding to treatment
- Poisoning (e.g. organophosphate) and snake bite with paralysis
- Head injury or stroke with low consciousness
- After major surgery or cardiac arrest
How we treat it at Aarogyavaram
- Choice of the least invasive support that works — oxygen, high-flow, BiPAP, then ventilator
- Sedation and pain control for comfort
- Daily trials to wean the patient off support as early as possible
- Bedside tracheostomy (breathing tube through the neck) for long-term ventilation
Recovery & what to expect
Weaning is gradual and guided by daily assessments. Physiotherapy and nutrition support recovery after ventilation.
