 -Part of the role of a Respiratory
Therapist involves being able to
effectively test and assess what
someone needs.
-There are various needs that people will have when it comes to their breathing.
                            Sometimes the problems are temporary due to trauma or even surgery, other times
                            though they are a bigger part of ongoing health problems.

                             -In many instances the therapy offered by a Respiratory Therapist can prevent
                            ongoing health problems from getting worse.

They have to:
 - be able to successfully
read doctors orders so that
they can do what is needed
for a patient.
 - be able to evaluate
information, document files
and convey information
back to medical staff as well
as patients.
 - be able to evaluate the
quality of the process
someone is making too.
-    Being able to make quick decisions and feeling confident in that role is very
                                    important.

- The ability to work well with various patients is also important: there can be anyone
                  from a brand new baby to an elder that needs help.




                                                                                     irespiratorytherapist.com
The quality of life can be
  severely diminished when
someone is having a hard time
     breathing normally.


           irespiratorytherapist.com




  -One of the common forms
 of therapy that a Respiratory
 Therapist will offer is
 oxygen.

     -There are many scenarios that
    can play out and the training a
    Respiratory Therapist has will
    allow them to handle whatever
    comes along.
