What is the differences between a ventilato and a non-invasive ventilator?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: A non invasive ventilator requires a mask, and will help patient breath easier a ventilator requires patient to breath through a tube. Then the patient is very sick & was intubated in order to preserve his life & keep breathing. Nowadays non invasive vents just get almost all the soffistication from big ventilators from hospitals.
