A Respiratory Therapist (RT) is a healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with respiratory disorders or breathing problems. They play a key role in assisting patients with conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and other lung-related diseases. Respiratory therapists work closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers in a variety of clinical settings, such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home care environments.

Respiratory therapists evaluate and treat patients who have difficulty breathing due to various pulmonary conditions. They are trained to perform diagnostic tests, administer therapies (e.g., oxygen, aerosol treatments), manage ventilators, and educate patients and families about respiratory health. RTs work with patients of all ages, from neonates to the elderly, and are involved in critical care situations, such as managing patients on life support systems, as well as in more routine settings like outpatient clinics.

This facility typically employs a range of medical professionals to address the health and safety needs of their occupants. This staff may include physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and other healthcare specialists trained to manage medical emergencies and provide routine care. These professionals are essential for maintaining the well-being of personnel during extended operations in secure environments.
Key Responsibilities
  • Patient Assessment: Conduct assessments of patients' respiratory status, including measuring lung capacity, blood oxygen levels, and breathing patterns. Analyze patient history and medical records to determine respiratory care needs.
  • Therapeutic Interventions: Administer treatments such as oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Assist in managing ventilators and other life-support equipment.
  • Ventilator Management: Set up, monitor, and adjust ventilators for patients who are unable to breathe independently, ensuring proper oxygenation and ventilation.
  • Diagnostic Testing: Perform diagnostic tests like pulmonary function tests (PFTs), arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, and lung imaging to evaluate the patient's respiratory function.
  • Patient and Family Education: Teach patients and families about proper breathing techniques, medication use, and self-management strategies for respiratory conditions.
  • Emergency Response: Respond to code situations (e.g., respiratory failure or cardiac arrest), providing immediate airway management and resuscitation as needed.
  • Collaboration: Work alongside physicians, nurses, and other healthcare team members to develop and implement treatment plans for patients with respiratory issues.
  • Documentation: Record patient assessments, treatments provided, and response to therapy in patient medical records accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Quality Control: Ensure that respiratory equipment is properly maintained and calibrated and adhere to safety protocols for handling respiratory treatments and devices.
Education
  • Education: Associate's degree or higher in Respiratory Therapy from an accredited program
  • Current certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS).
Qualifications
  • Certification: Licensed or certified Respiratory Therapist (e.g., Certified Respiratory Therapist - CRT or Registered Respiratory Therapist - RRT, depending on state regulations).
  • Licensing: State licensure is required, and many states require RTs to pass a national certification exam.
  • Experience: Some positions may require prior experience in respiratory care or a clinical internship as part of the educational program.
Skills and Abilities:
  • Proficiency in respiratory care equipment, such as ventilators, nebulizers, and oxygen delivery systems.
  • Strong understanding of human physiology, pulmonary diseases, and treatments.
  • Ability to remain calm in high-stress environments, particularly in critical care situations.
  • Excellent communication skills to interact with patients, families, and healthcare team members.
  • Knowledge of safety standards and infection control procedures in healthcare settings.
Work Environment
  • Facility operations may include a mix of outpatient and emergency settings.
  • Rotational on-call duties may be required.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, with Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance for W2 full time employees.
  • Company-paid basic Life and AD&D insurance.
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • Professional development opportunities.
Physical Requirements:
  • Must be able to sit for more than 8 hours per day.
  • Must be willing to work overtime if necessary.
  • Must be able to use an elevator or walk up and down stairs.
  • Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs. and carry up to 10 feet.
  • Must be able to routinely grasp or handle objects, use finger dexterity, bend elbows/knees and reach above and below shoulders.
  • Must be able to read and interpret handwritten and typewritten print.
  • Must be able to communicate by voice and detect sound by ear.
  • Must be able to perform duties in an indoor or outdoor environment.
