Developing and Implementing Treatment Plans:
- Collaborate with physicians to develop and implement personalized treatment plans for patients with respiratory issues.
- Adjust and monitor ventilation settings for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (e.g., CPAP, BiPAP).
- Administer respiratory therapy treatments, including oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, pulmonary rehabilitation, and airway clearance techniques.
Administering Respiratory Treatments:
- Provide oxygen therapy via nasal cannulas, masks, or mechanical ventilators for patients with respiratory distress or low oxygen levels.
- Perform aerosol therapy to deliver medication directly to the lungs via inhalers, nebulizers, or other devices.

- Provide airway management, including suctioning, endotracheal intubation, and assisting with tracheostomy care.
Monitoring and Evaluating Patient Progress:
- Continuously monitor the effectiveness of respiratory treatments and adjust therapy as necessary based on patient responses.
- Assess patients for signs of respiratory distress and intervene promptly when complications arise.
- Track and document patient progress, ensuring treatments are tailored to the patient’s evolving needs.
Emergency Response and Critical Care:
- Provide emergency respiratory care to patients experiencing respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or other life-threatening situations.
- Administer resuscitation techniques, such as CPR, defibrillation, and advanced airway management, in emergency situations.
- 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.
- Communicate effectively with patients and their families, ensuring they understand treatment plans and ongoing care needs.
Documentation and Record Keeping:
- Maintain accurate and detailed records of patient assessments, treatments, medications, and progress in accordance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA).
- 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.

- 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.
