Prolonged ventilator care refers to the extended use of mechanical ventilation to assist individuals in breathing when they are unable to do so independently. This often arises in situations where patients experience severe respiratory failure due to conditions such as chronic lung diseases, neuromuscular disorders, or post-surgical complications.

Challenges Faced by Patients

• Physical Challenges: Long-term ventilator use can lead to muscle weakness and atrophy, requiring specialized rehabilitation and physical therapy.
• Psychological Impact: Extended reliance on a ventilator can have emotional implications for patients, leading to anxiety, depression, or a sense of isolation.
• Caregiver Strain: Family members and caregivers may experience emotional and physical strain while supporting a loved one on prolonged ventilator care.
