Best Answer

No. Â?People on ventilators are usually unconscious and in Intensive Care Units.


Some people with diseases such as Myaesthenia Gravis reach a stage where their medication no longer works and their respiratory muscles stop working, so they could be on a ventilator at home and not unconscious. Â?But if their muscles are too weak for them to breathe, they certainly won't be walking around.

No, when a person is on a ventilator they are typically confined to their bed as the ventilator is a machine that helps with breathing support. Walking around would not be possible as the person is connected to the ventilator through tubing.
