Doctors prescribe how fast and how big a breath a patient should receive and set the machine accordingly. Sometimes, when the machine is sophisticated enough, a patient can initiate the breath and the machine responds by giving them different levels of pressure. The actual business part of the machine is the system which provides a breath through a hose that is attached to the patient. Once the breath is delivered, the patient exhales through a different port through the ventilator. The air is filtered so that no one in the room is exposed to the breath from the patient.

Why are some ventilators only the size of a suitcase?

The machines can be simple or very complex. It’s like a car, really. You can buy a bare-bones car that doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, or you can buy one that’s got a lot of different features associated with it.

What does the ventilator do for patients who have the virus?

They’re not a treatment for anything. They’re merely a way of cradling the person until such time that their body recovers. So for example if you went for surgery, you would be given an anesthetic, intubated, put on a breathing machine and then you would have your operation. The anesthetic would be stopped, you’d gradually wake up, and then you’d have the tube taken out.

But when you’re critically ill, you’re intubated and then you remain on the machine until such time that your breathing goes back to normal or the condition for which you were intubated resolves. And then the tube is eventually taken out.
