That's my understanding as well. If left on the ventalator too long, the patient's lungs start to slowly shut-down letting the device do the breathing for them. If left too long, the damage can become almost irreversible. As a former OR nurse explained to me on a boatride this afternoon, these patients need constant monitoring to keep them from getting to that state. That is why you could have a gazillion respirators, but if you didn't have the people trained to use them, they are just another piece of equipment, that can do as much harm as good.
