What is a "life support machine"?

A life support machine is a medical device that helps with vital bodily functions when a person is critically ill or injured and unable to perform these functions on their own. It typically involves a device that helps with breathing by delivering oxygen into the lungs and removing carbon dioxide. Other parts may include monitors to track vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure, as well as devices to give medications and fluids. Life support machines are essential in intensive care units (ICUs) to support patients and their organs until they can recover or receive further treatment.
