Beatmung
ventilation
The German word "Beatmung" is a noun formed from the verb "beatmen," which means "to ventilate" or "to assist breathing." The root "Atem" means "breath," so "Beatmung" refers to the process of assisting or supporting breathing, especially in a medical context (e.g., artificial ventilation).
Similar words:
- "Belüftung" (ventilation, usually of rooms or spaces)
- "Lüftung" (ventilation, airing)
- "Respiration" (breathing process)
Difference:
"Beatmung" specifically refers to artificial or assisted breathing (like mechanical ventilation), whereas "Belüftung" and "Lüftung" relate to providing fresh air to spaces, and "Respiration" is the general biological process of breathing.
