What Are the Different Types of Respiratory Equipment? Ventilators are a type of respiratory equipment that breathes for a person when he or she is unable to pull air into the lungs independently. In the most basic sense, a ventilator is a device that blows air into the lungs and creates positive air pressure within the alveoli.

- Types of Breathing Support in the NICU. Many different types of respiratory support are available in the NIUC, depending on the level of help a baby needs. Nasal Cannula: One of the least invasive forms of respiratory support, a nasal cannula is a thin plastic tube that delivers oxygen directly into the nostrils.

Oxygen Therapy Another type of device used for oxygen therapy is a nonrebreather mask. This device is used to deliver high flow rates and high concentrations of oxygen. Like the simple mask, the nonrebreather mask fits snugly over the patient’s mouth and nose.

Suction Machines Suction machines are appliances that are used to remove substances such as blood, saliva, mucus, and vomit from a person's airway. A portable suction unit can prevent pulmonary aspiration and facilitate breathing. Suction machine supplies include bacteria filters, collection canisters, and aspirator tubing kits. The medical aspirator prevents fluids and other contaminants from entering and damaging the pump. These accessories will make caring for yourself and your medical suction device more convenient. One popular brand of suction machines is DeVilbiss Medical. The DeVilbiss homecare suction unit works by creating negative pressure to draw fluid out of the body through tubing that connects to a collection bottle. The portable suction device features an adjustable flow regulator that removes fluid from the airway.

- Pressure-cycled ventilation. This form of mechanical ventilation includes pressure control ventilation (PCV), pressure support ventilation (PSV), and several noninvasive modalities applied via a tight-fitting face mask. In all of these modalities, the ventilator delivers a set inspiratory pressure.

Spirometer A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs. A spirometer measures ventilation, the movement of air into and out of the lungs. The spirogram will identify two different types of abnormal ventilation patterns, obstructive and restrictive.

Mechanical ventilation Mechanical ventilation is the use of a mechanical device (machine) to inflate and deflate the lungs. Mechanical ventilation provides the force needed to deliver air to the lungs in a patient whose own ventilatory abilities are diminished or lost. Breathing requires the movement of air into and out of the lungs. This is normally accomplished by the diaphragm and chest muscles. A variety of medical conditions can impair the ability of these muscles to accomplish this task, including: muscular dystrophies.

- How Nebulizers Work. Nebulizers are small devices that are used to administer various aerosol drugs used in COPD, such as bronchodilators and corticosteroids that many get through a traditional handheld inhaler. Antibiotics, anticholinergic and mucolytic agents can also be administered through a nebulizer. The difference between nebulizers and other inhalers is that a nebulizer turns the medication into a mist that goes directly into the lungs. There are two different types of nebulizers: pneumatic jet nebulizers and ultrasonic nebulizers.

Mechanical Ventilation A short tube is inserted through the opening directly into the patient's windpipe. The tube is connected to the breathing machine which pumps air through the tube into the patient's airway. A patient on either kind of mechanical ventilator must either be lying in bed or sitting in a chair, and movement is restricted. While using an endotracheal tube, the patient is unable to speak or swallow.

- A ventilator (VEN-til-a-tor) is a machine that supports breathing. These machines mainly are used in hospitals. Ventilators: Get oxygen into the lungs. Remove carbon dioxide from the body. (Carbon dioxide is a waste gas that can be toxic.) Help people breathe easier. Breathe for people who have lost all ability to breathe on their own.

- VPAP machines were developed to give even a better treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome than the usual CPAP therapy that supported breathing only during inhalation. Many obstructive sleep apnea patients use Bi-level machines because they need a lower pressure during exhalation.
