Respiratory Treatments
Respiratory treatments are medical interventions aimed at improving breathing and managing conditions affecting the lungs and airways. Common treatments include inhalers, which deliver medication directly to the lungs, and nebulizers, which turn liquid medicine into a mist for easier inhalation. These treatments are often used for conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pneumonia.
In addition to medication, respiratory therapy may involve techniques such as chest physiotherapy, which helps clear mucus from the lungs, and oxygen therapy, providing supplemental oxygen to patients with low blood oxygen levels. These treatments are essential for enhancing lung function and overall respiratory health.
