This paper encompasses several themes revolving around the fatal COVID-19 pandemic that affected the entire world and resulted in the deaths of millions of people worldwide. In the beginning, the researcher gives a comprehensive description concerning the effects of the pandemic and how doctors and medical professionals were able to save thousands of lives with the employment of mechanical ventilation in COVID-19-infected people. The second part details the two types of mechanical ventilation and how the two modals turn out effective in treating COVID-19 and its side effects. Later, the researcher discusses the how measures have been taken to improve the Quality of life (QoL) with the employment of mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 patients. This paper presents the proposition to address the primary QoL-related findings in patients requiring hospitalization after being affected by COVID-19. It also aims to determine the characteristics of QoL on patients that were given mechanical ventilation for some time. Overall, the paper offers an all-inclusive discussion regarding the improvements that are noticeable in patients that receive this contemporary treatment
