  • Demonstrated ability to educate patients and families on respiratory health management.
Responsibilities:
  • Provide bedside respiratory care to inpatient and outpatient populations in accordance with physician orders and departmental policies
  • Administer respiratory medications and therapeutic modalities safely, monitoring for indications, contraindications, and adverse reactions
  • Perform patient respiratory assessments and reassessments, documenting treatments and patient responses in the medical record
  • Set up, monitor, and manage oxygen delivery systems and respiratory equipment, ensuring proper function and safety compliance
  • Obtain arterial blood gas samples as authorized, following physician orders, universal precautions, and required timeframes

Skills:

The RRT utilizes clinical assessment skills daily to evaluate patient respiratory status and determine appropriate interventions. Proficiency with respiratory therapy equipment and technology is essential for administering treatments and monitoring patient responses effectively. Strong communication skills enable the therapist to collaborate with healthcare teams and educate patients and their families about care plans and respiratory health.
