Ventilators (Breathing Machines) – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ventilator?
A ventilator is a machine that helps you breathe when your lungs can’t do the job alone. It delivers oxygen and removes carbon dioxide to keep you stable.
Why would I need one?
If you're recovering from serious illness, injury, or surgery—or have a chronic lung condition—a ventilator may be needed for support.
How does a ventilator work?
It pushes air into your lungs and lets it out in a controlled rhythm, essentially breathing for you when needed.
Can I rent a ventilator for home use?
Yes! Home-use ventilators are available on rent—perfect for patients who require ongoing respiratory support without being stuck in a hospital.
Is renting a ventilator a good idea for long-term care?
Definitely. Renting can save you from high upfront costs and gives you the flexibility to upgrade or return once it's no longer needed.
How do I arrange for a ventilator rental?
You just need a prescription from your doctor. After that, rental providers (like us) can arrange delivery, installation, and training for your caregivers.
Is it scary or painful to be on a ventilator?
The machine isn’t painful. You may be sedated if intubated, and some people feel throat soreness, but the goal is to keep you comfortable and safe.
What types of ventilators are there?
There are invasive (with tubes) and non-invasive (mask) types. Portable ones are also available for home or travel use.
Will I be able to eat or talk on it?
Not if you’re intubated. If you're on a mask, you may be able to speak briefly and eat soft foods, depending on your condition.
How long do patients usually stay on a ventilator?
It varies—some need it for hours, others for weeks. Your doctor will monitor your progress and gradually reduce support.
Can ventilators be used outside hospitals?
Yes. Many stable patients use ventilators at home under medical guidance.
What if the ventilator beeps or malfunctions?
Most alarms are just reminders or alerts. If something seems wrong, contact your healthcare team or technician immediately.
Will it treat my illness?
Not directly. It gives your body the oxygen it needs while other treatments work on the root cause.
Disclaimer: Home-use ventilators should only be rented with a doctor’s prescription and under trained supervision. Features, models, and rates differ by location and supplier.
