Respiratory Care

Respiratory diseases

Your ability to breathe in air when you are asleep or awake may be affected by your lower airway — that is, your lung area. This may be due to a number of lower airway conditions.

What happens during normal breathing?

To understand what could be affecting your ability to breathe properly, it is helpful to know what normal breathing looks like.

Diagnosis

If you have a condition that makes it difficult for you to breathe properly, you might need the help of a ventilator. Find out about the appropriate diagnosis method for your condition.
