Respiratory

The respiratory icon represents the respiratory system or breathing. In a medical context, the respiratory system refers to the organs and tissues involved in breathing, such as the lungs, trachea, and diaphragm. The icon is often used in medical settings to represent the respiratory department or to indicate that a patient is receiving respiratory care. Respiratory health is crucial, as breathing difficulties can be a symptom of various conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia.

In software applications, the respiratory icon may appear in medical records systems, hospital information systems, or respiratory care software. For example, in a medical records system, the respiratory icon might be used to indicate that a patient's respiratory data is available for viewing. In respiratory care software, the icon might be used to represent the respiratory module or to indicate that a patient is receiving oxygen therapy.

From a UX perspective, the respiratory icon communicates that respiratory information or care is available. The icon helps users understand the functionality of a system or software application and navigate to the relevant section. For instance, a user might click on the respiratory icon to access a patient's respiratory data or to view the respiratory care team's schedule.

Respiratory is one of 144 icons in Medical Icons, made by Samuel Frémondière and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 64 × 64 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds RespiratoryIcon to components/icons/medical-icon-respiratory.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed RespiratoryIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Respiratory icon, or any of 144 Medical Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 64 × 64 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Respiratory", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. RespiratoryIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <RespiratoryIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Medical Icons, Samuel Frémondière and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are medical, healthcare, hospital, respiratory and breathing. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Respiratory in another set.
