True or False: Anesthesia ventilators are typically used on healthy patients.

Anesthesia ventilators are specifically designed for use in controlled settings, particularly during surgical procedures where patients are often under sedation or general anesthesia. These patients may not always be healthy, as they often present with various medical conditions requiring surgical intervention. The primary role of anesthesia ventilators is to manage the patient's ventilation during surgery, ensuring adequate oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal while the patient is unconscious or unable to breathe independently.

Healthy patients may not typically require the use of an anesthesia ventilator because they can often maintain their own ventilation effectively. The use of these ventilators is more common in surgeries involving patients with underlying health issues or in cases where airway control is required.

Thus, the statement is false, as anesthesia ventilators are used not only on healthy patients but more commonly on patients with varying health statuses during surgical procedures.
