nonrespiratory
Outside breathing functions
Nonrespiratory describes something not involving or related to breathing or the respiratory system.
In medicine, it distinguishes conditions, functions, or symptoms that don't affect the lungs or airways: nonrespiratory causes of chest pain, nonrespiratory complications of the virus.
The term appears frequently in clinical contexts to narrow diagnostic focus.
