1. A ventilatory support apparatus comprising:
a ventilator for providing ventilation gas for inspiration by a patient, the ventilator including:
a compressed gas inlet port for receiving compressed gas at 50 PSI or greater;
a flow valve for controlling a flow of the compressed gas to produce the ventilation gas; and
a ventilation gas output port for providing the ventilation gas to a patient interface; and
a compressor unit for providing the compressed gas to the ventilator at 50 PSI or greater, the compressor unit including:
a compressor;
an ambient air inlet port for introducing ambient air into the compressor;
a low flow oxygen input port for introducing oxygen to the compressor in accordance with a prescription setting of the ventilator, wherein the ambient air and the oxygen are combined in the compressor such that the compressor pressurizes the ambient air and the oxygen at 50 PSI or greater to produce the compressed gas; and
a compressed gas output port for providing the compressed gas to a hose connected to the compressed gas inlet port of the ventilator at 50 PSI or greater.
