respiratory care protocols

Respiratory care protocols are structured guidelines used by healthcare professionals to manage and support a patient's breathing. They include procedures for monitoring oxygen levels, administering medications like inhalers or oxygen therapy, and assisting with breathing when necessary, such as using ventilators. These protocols aim to ensure safe, effective care for conditions like asthma, COPD, or respiratory infections. They involve regular assessments, adjusting treatments based on patient response, and preventing complications. Overall, they provide a standardized approach to optimize breathing, improve recovery, and enhance patient comfort.
