ventilations
Fresh air circulations
Ventilations is the plural of ventilation, referring to multiple instances or systems of air circulation.
In medical contexts, ventilations are individual breaths delivered to a patient during resuscitation: The protocol calls for two ventilations after every thirty chest compressions.
The word also covers separate ventilation systems or processes: The building's ventilations were inspected annually.
