What is a "life-support system"?
A life-support system is a medical device or collection of devices used to maintain and monitor vital bodily functions for patients who are critically ill or unable to keep these functions on their own. These systems can include ventilators for breathing, machines to help heart function, and devices to deliver necessary nutrients and fluids. Life-support systems are essential in intensive care units, emergency rooms, and during surgeries to keep patients alive.
