Respiratory care procedures are diagnostic, therapeutic, and supportive interventions used to assess and treat respiratory disorders, maintain airway patency, improve oxygenation and ventilation, remove secretions, and support overall lung function. respiratorytherapyzone.com/r…

Respiratory care procedures are diagnostic, therapeutic, and supportive interventions used to assess, treat, and manage conditions affecting the respiratory system. These procedures help maintain airway patency, improve oxygenation and ventilation, remove retained secretions, and support patients with breathing difficulties or respiratory failure.

COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that primarily affects the respiratory system but can also involve other organs. Symptoms range from mild coughing, fever, and fatigue to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory failure, and other life-threatening complications.

Air trapping is a respiratory abnormality in which air cannot be completely expelled from the lungs during exhalation due to airway obstruction, premature airway closure, or insufficient expiratory time. It commonly occurs in conditions such as COPD, emphysema, and asthma, leading to increased residual volume, pulmonary hyperinflation, and greater difficulty breathing.
