    • Assist with intubation, mechanical ventilation, and weaning from life support when necessary.
  • Patient Education and Support
    • Educate patients and families on proper use of respiratory equipment, medications, and techniques for managing respiratory conditions at home.
    • Provide guidance on lifestyle changes to improve lung health, such as quitting smoking, controlling asthma triggers, and managing chronic respiratory diseases.
    • Offer instruction on pulmonary rehabilitation exercises to strengthen lung capacity and improve overall physical health.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Team
    • Work closely with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop a holistic care plan for respiratory patients.
    • Attend multidisciplinary care meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment goals, and necessary adjustments.

    • Ensure proper documentation for insurance billing, treatment plans, and patient updates.
    • Record patient responses to treatments, including vital signs, oxygen saturation, and any adverse reactions or complications.
  • Equipment Management
    • Set up and maintain respiratory therapy equipment, such as mechanical ventilators, nebulizers, and oxygen delivery devices.
    • Ensure that all respiratory equipment is properly calibrated, clean, and functioning according to safety standards.
    • Perform troubleshooting and minor repairs on respiratory equipment as needed.
  • Professional Development and Continuing Education
    • Participate in continuing education opportunities to stay current with new techniques, equipment, and best practices in respiratory therapy.
