What are the Common Techniques Used in Respiratory Therapy?
Various techniques are employed in respiratory therapy, including:
Nebulization: Delivers medication directly to the lungs in the form of a mist. Chest Physiotherapy: Involves techniques like percussion and postural drainage to help clear mucus. Oxygen Therapy: Provides supplemental oxygen to patients with hypoxemia. Mechanical Ventilation: Assists or takes over breathing for patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. Incentive Spirometry: Encourages deep breathing to prevent lung complications after surgery.
