    Physics and Chemistry play a crucial role in Respiratory Care Technology, as they form the foundation for understanding respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Physics helps in grasping concepts like airflow dynamics, pressure-volume relationships in ventilation, and oxygen delivery systems. Chemistry is essential for understanding blood gas analysis, acid-base balance, and the effects of different gases on respiration.

    A strong grasp of these subjects enables respiratory technologists to operate ventilators effectively, interpret test results, and provide accurate patient care in critical settings.
