These complications can range from mild problems like shortness of breath or coughing to more severe conditions such as pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory failure. Respiratory complications can be caused by various factors such as infections, smoking, environmental toxins, and underlying health conditions. Proper diagnosis and treatment of respiratory complications are crucial to prevent further complications and improve respiratory function and overall health. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of respiratory complications to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
