- Adjust and monitor ventilation settings for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (e.g., CPAP, BiPAP).

- 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.

- 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.
