RESPIRATORY PATHOLOGIES

Respiratory physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the management and treatment of various respiratory pathologies, both acute and chronic. Through a variety of techniques and approaches tailored to the individual needs of each patient, this discipline seeks to improve pulmonary ventilation, promote secretion clearance, optimize respiratory mechanics and improve overall lung function. From weaning from mechanical ventilation to the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis or asthma, respiratory physiotherapy addresses a wide range of conditions. Its holistic approach, combining manual techniques, breathing exercises, patient education and, in some cases, the use of assistive devices, aims to improve quality of life and reduce respiratory complications. Respiratory physiotherapy is an invaluable tool in respiratory care, working closely with other healthcare professionals to provide a holistic approach to the treatment and management of respiratory disease.
