What is "life support"?
Life support refers to the medical actions and equipment used to maintain vital bodily functions when a person's organs are not functioning properly on their own. This includes actions such as mechanical ventilation, which helps with breathing, medication to support blood pressure and heart function, and other therapies to maintain critical bodily functions. Life support is typically used in intensive care settings for patients with serious illnesses or injuries, or during surgeries where anesthesia affects breathing and circulation. The goal of life support is to maintain life and provide time for the body to heal or recover from serious medical conditions.
