Explanation

Ventilator assistance refers to the use of a machine to help a person breathe. This is often needed when a person's lungs are not working properly due to illness or injury. The machine, called a ventilator, pushes air into the lungs and allows it to come back out, mimicking the natural process of breathing. This helps to ensure the body gets the oxygen it needs to function.
