Respiratory Therapy

Respiratory therapists specialize in caring for patients with breathing or cardiopulmonary disorders. Their role encompasses various responsibilities such as assessing patients' lung capacity, conducting diagnostic tests, administering treatments like oxygen therapy and medications, and operating and maintaining respiratory equipment. They collaborate closely with physicians to develop and implement respiratory care plans tailored to each patient's needs, monitor their progress, and provide education on managing respiratory conditions. Respiratory therapists often work in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, playing a vital role in improving patients' respiratory health and overall quality of life.
