Why Are Mechanical Ventilators Needed in Neonatal Care?
Mechanical ventilators are essential for neonates with conditions such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. These conditions can severely impair an infant's ability to breathe effectively. Ventilators provide the necessary respiratory support, thereby preventing complications such as hypoxia, which can lead to organ damage or even death.
