Label TextMedical ventilator machines are used when patients need assistance breathing. The machines move air and oxygen into the patient's lungs, and some can be programmed to pump out carbon dioxide for patients who cannot exhale on their own. Masks and breathing tubes are used to attach the patient to the machine, depending on the nature of the breathing issue.
