Respiratory Medicine Ward

The Respiratory Medicine Ward at OUH serves as a local, regional and tertiary referral ward specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with respiratory diseases needing acute hospitalization

The ward and ODIN conduct multidisciplinary clinical, register-based and qualitative research within the field of acute respiratory medicine.

The primary focus is to develop new methods to ensure optimal early and safe diagnosis and treatment of acute admitted patients with respiratory diseases. Secondarily, the ward and ODIN are actively involved in qualitative research ensuring a patient-centered approach in the everyday clinical work and research at the ward.
