Respiratory System Area

The Respiratory System Area at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital provides comprehensive and specialized care for respiratory patients, with conventional hospitalization and a step-down unit. It includes pulmonary function, sleep, and bronchoscopy laboratories. Outpatient care includes general and specialized consultations for severe asthma, COPD, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung diseases, among others, both at the hospital and in regional centers.

Nursing plays a central role in adapting care, education, and research. Future projects include a new management model for the pulmonary function laboratory and the creation of reference nurses for home therapies, ensuring follow-up for patients on mechanical ventilation and sleep therapies. With an evidence-based approach, the area promotes self-care, patient empowerment, and personalized, safe, and high-quality care.
