Question
Visit a doctor. Find out about artificial respiration. Ask the doctor:
- When does a person need artificial respiration?
- Does the person need to be kept on artificial respiration temporarily or permanently?
- From where can the person get supply of oxygen for artificial respiration?
Solution
- A person needs artificial respiration when they are unable to breathe adequately on their own, which can occur due to respiratory failure, severe trauma, drug overdose, or during resuscitation efforts in emergencies.
- The duration of artificial respiration depends on the patient's condition. It can be temporary, such as during recovery from surgery or acute illness, or permanent in cases of chronic respiratory failure or irreversible damage.
- Oxygen for artificial respiration can be sourced from hospital oxygen systems, portable oxygen tanks, or medical-grade oxygen concentrators. These supplies are typically managed and provided by healthcare facilities or medical supply companies.

There is a pair of bean-shaped organs P in the human body towards the back, just above the waist. A waste product Q formed by the decomposition of unused proteins in the liver is brought into organ P through blood by an artery R. The numerous tiny filters S present in organ P clean the dirty blood by removing the waste product Q. The clean blood goes into circulation through a vein T. The waste substance Q, other waste salts, and excess water form a yellowish liquid U which goes from organ P into a bag-like structure V through two tubes W. This liquid is then thrown out of the body through a tube X.
