Ventilators blow air-or air with extra oxygen-into the airways and then the lungs. The airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs.
The airways include your:
- Nose and linked air passages, called nasal cavities
- Mouth
- Larynx (LAR-ingks), or voice box
- Trachea (TRA-ke-ah), or windpipe
- Tubes called bronchial tubes or bronchi, and their branches
