Ventilator Support in Rajkot - Invasive and Non-Invasive Ventilation

When is Ventilator Support Required?

Mechanical ventilation is life-saving support for patients who cannot breathe adequately on their own. At our ventilator support hospital in Rajkot, our critical care team manages ventilator therapy for patients with:
Ventilator support is needed when a patient’s oxygen levels fall critically low (SpO2 below 90%), when carbon dioxide levels build up dangerously, when breathing muscles fatigue and fail, or when a patient is unconscious and cannot protect their own airway. Our team continuously adjusts ventilator settings – pressure, volume, FiO2, and PEEP – to support recovery while minimising lung injury.
