inhaled
Inhaled air or gas or smoke into lungs for breathing.
When we talk about something that has been inhaled, it usually means someone breathed it in, like when you inhale cigarette smoke. But inhaled can also describe how people with health conditions use special machines to get oxygen directly into their lungs through tubes - these devices are called ventilators or inhalers and they help patients breathe easier. In medical settings, doctors will say a patient has inhaled something that caused them trouble, like a foreign object stuck inside them.
