Breathing machines and oxygen machines are both a kind of medical equipment, but the principle of the use of breathing machines and oxygen machines is different, and the use of the population is also different.
1, the ventilator is as an effective means of machine that can artificially replace the function of autonomous ventilation; while the oxygen machine can not replace the artificial autonomous respiration.
2, the ventilator to help people independent ventilation breathing is air, its oxygen content does not improve; while the oxygen machine is a machine that creates oxygen, is to improve the oxygen content of human breathing.
3, oxygen machine is generally used in the oxygen consumption increase in the crowd, or excessive brain brain laborers, including intellectuals, boss managers, students taking exams; the pace of life of the city people; long-distance driving drivers. And the ventilator is used in respiratory failure due to various causes, anesthesia respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support therapy and emergency resuscitation.
4, the ventilator can be needed to regulate the frequency, size and intensity of breathing; while the oxygen machine can not be adjusted, can only regulate the situation of oxygen production.
5, the ventilator is able to play a preventive and treatment of respiratory failure, reduce complications, save and extend the patient's life of the vital medical equipment. And the oxygen machine through the membrane of nitrogen molecules in the air filter to produce oxygen-rich air equipment.
