During the early decades of the 20th century, respiratory clinicians focused solely on the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis (TB), so the specialty of respiratory nursing, which emerged in the 1940s, concentrated on TB. But respiratory specialization widened to include a number of conditions, and the 1970s saw respiratory nursing become its own specialty.
