Respiratory Critical Care

Respiratory Critical Care is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating patients with severe breathing problems. These can include conditions like pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), or complications from chronic lung diseases. In a hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), healthcare professionals provide advanced support, such as mechanical ventilation and close monitoring, to help patients breathe and manage their oxygen levels. The goal is to stabilize their condition, address the underlying issues, and support recovery in a highly critical setting. It’s a vital part of caring for patients with life-threatening respiratory issues.
