Respiratory care

Respiratory care is a healthcare specialty focused on diagnosing and treating breathing problems and diseases related to the lungs and airways. Professionals in this field, such as respiratory therapists, work with patients who have conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or pneumonia. They administer treatments, support patients on ventilators, and educate individuals about managing their respiratory health. By using techniques and equipment like oxygen therapy and inhalers, respiratory care helps improve patients' breathing and overall quality of life, ensuring they can perform daily activities comfortably and effectively.
