Respiratory care is a comprehensive and customized treatment focused on helping people who have breathing, lung-related, or cardiac issues. It involves the assessment, treatment, and management of conditions that affect the respiratory system, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and other lung diseases.
This customized rehabilitation also includes exercises and breathing techniques to strengthen the lungs, help patients with trouble breathing, and educate them on how to manage their condition. It may also involve oxygen therapy, nutritional counseling, as well as medication management.
