respiratorischen

Respiratorisch is an adjective in German that relates to respiration, the process of breathing. In medical, physiological, and technical language it is used to describe components, functions, or conditions of the respiratory system. Common phrases include respiratorische Funktionen (respiratory functions), respiratorische Erkrankungen (respiratory diseases), and respiratorische Muskulatur (respiratory muscles).

The form respiratorischen is a declined ending of the adjective. German adjectives change their endings according to gender, number, and case, so respiratorisch appears as respiratorische in many standard uses (for example, die respiratorischen Funktionen, welche die Atmung steuern) and respiratorischen in others (for example, bei respiratorischen Problemen im Da­tiv oder im Plural). The base form respiratorisch is used in attributive positions before singular neuter nouns in the nominative and in some compound phrases, while other forms arise through standard declension rules.

In practical use, the term covers a wide range of topics related to breathing and the airways. It appears in clinical contexts such as pulmonology, anesthesiology, and intensive care, as well as in physiology and occupational health. Examples include assessing respiratorische Funktionen during a physical examination, diagnosing respiratorische Insuffizienz (respiratory failure), or studying respiratorische Belastung (respiratory load) from environmental or occupational exposure. The term is largely technical and is typically found in medical literature, professional guidelines, and educational texts.
