Respiratory support is a set of specialized medical techniques and treatments used to improve respiratory function in patients who have difficulty breathing properly.
Techniques used in respiratory support may include the administration of supplemental oxygen, the use of mechanical ventilation devices, the administration of inhalation therapy, and the use of respiratory physical therapy techniques, among others.
Respiratory support is used to treat acute or chronic respiratory conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, severe asthma, and respiratory failure, among others. It can also be used during the recovery process following surgery or to improve the quality of life for patients with chronic respiratory diseases.
Respiratory support can benefit people of all ages who have difficulty breathing properly. This includes hospitalized patients, intensive care patients, patients with chronic respiratory diseases, and patients recovering from surgery, among others.
Yes, in some cases, specialized equipment is needed to provide respiratory support at home, such as an oxygen concentrator, a portable mechanical ventilator, or a nebulizer. However, this will depend on each patient’s specific needs and will be determined by the treating physician.
