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.
