Respiratory Nursing

Respiratory Nursing specializes in the care of patients with respiratory disorders, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia. Respiratory nurses work in hospitals, pulmonary clinics, and home care settings, providing treatments like oxygen therapy, respiratory exercises, and inhalation therapy. They monitor patients' respiratory status, educate them on managing their conditions, and assist in procedures like intubation and mechanical ventilation. Respiratory nurses play a key role in promoting lung health, preventing complications, and improving the quality of life for patients with respiratory conditions.Respiratory nurses are also involved in quality improvement initiatives and research related to respiratory care. They contribute to the development of best practices, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment protocols, and engage in studies aimed at advancing the field of respiratory nursing. Their work helps to improve care processes, enhance patient outcomes, and drive innovations in respiratory care.
