Invasive ventilation is delivered through an endotracheal tube that is inserted into patient’s nose or mouth, or through a tracheostomy, it is a surgical incision in the neck to access trachea. Invasive ventilation delivers air on a timed cycle through the tube and ensures that the patient takes a minimum number of breaths per minute. Growing geriatric population base and increasing number of preterm births are some of the driving factors for ventilators market. Invasive ventilation is recommended on the permanent mode by doctors for patients who are unable to breathe on their own. Such factors increase demand for ventilators.
