Definition of Life support. Life support: 1. A therapy or device designed to preserve someone's life when an essential bodily system is not doing so. Life support may, for example, involve enteric feeding (by a tube), total parenteral nutrition, mechanical ventilation, a pacemaker, defibrillator, heart/lung machine, or dialysis. 2. Something that sustains life, as in The earth is the ultimate life support system.. 3.
It is any thing that a person needs to keep them living if they are unable to eat or breathe on their own. If removing the feeding tube or taking a person off a ventilator or c-pap would directly cause them to die, then it is life support.Some people can have a feeding tube for supplemental feeding because for whatever reason, they are not able to eat enough through their mouth. In such a case, this is NOT life support.f a person is put on a ventilator to offer them a chance to get over a nasty pneumonia, this is not considered life support. It becomes life support when they cannot wean a person off a ventilator so they can breathe on their own.
