INSPIRE  -  It’s What Respiratory Therapists Do!

Do YOU know what a Respiratory Therapist does?  Respiratory Therapists (RT’s) specialize in the treatment of breathing disorders such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.  RT’s are specialists in the administration of aerosolized medications, oxygen delivery, airway management, and mechanical ventilation (life support!). 

You can find an RT in every area of the hospital and they are often involved in treating the most critically ill patients.  They are an essential member of the Code Blue, and Rapid Action Teams.  They work hand-in-hand with the physicians and nursing staff in the Emergency Department to treat all patients with compromised airway or breathing problems. 

Let your friendly neighborhood Respiratory Therapist INSPIRE you during Respiratory Care Week, October 24 – 30th!
