Respiratory care is an allied health specialty. Respiratory care practitioners work with physicians in the treatment, management, control, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients with diseases and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory therapists treat a diverse group of patients ranging from newborn and pediatric patients to adults and the elderly. Disease states or conditions often requiring care include asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, acute and infantile respiratory distress syndrome as well as conditions brought on by shock, trauma or post-operative surgical complications. Respiratory therapists function in many specialty areas in the hospital, such as newborn labor and delivery, neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, pulmonary function laboratory, sleep laboratory and adult intensive care units. The baccalaureate degree prepares respiratory therapists to deliver respiratory care in the hospital, home and alternative care sites. The respiratory therapist with an earned baccalaureate is an advanced-level practitioner who is eligible to sit for the national board examination to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) as well as take specialty examinations in the areas of Perinatal/pediatrics, Adult Critical Care, Sleep Disorders and Pulmonary Function Technology While you can live a few days without water and a few weeks without food, a lack of air will result in brain damage within a few minutes and death after about 10 minutes. It's easy to see that with a career in respiratory care, you can make a real difference. Respiratory therapists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with conditions affecting the cardiopulmonary system. They work with physicians to help patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with their lungs and heart.
