A portable electric ventilator is a device designed to provide long-term breathing support for patients who need help with ventilation but do not require intensive critical care. It delivers air or oxygen to the lungs using positive pressure, either through an invasive airway like a tracheostomy tube or non-invasively via a mask, and is suitable for use in homes or healthcare settings.
These devices are electrically powered, often with battery options for mobility, and include control systems, alarms, and may feature integrated humidification. They support various ventilation modes and are intended for stable patients requiring ongoing respiratory assistance outside of intensive care units.
