What do Palliative/Hospice Certified Respiratory Therapists do?
Palliative and hospice-certified respiratory therapists focus on symptom management for patients with life-limiting respiratory illnesses.
They manage symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, and secretions, while also providing education and equipment support for patients and caregivers.
Their goal is to improve the quality of life and help patients be as comfortable and functional as possible, often coordinating with an interdisciplinary team.
Symptom management
Breathlessness (dyspnea): Managing shortness of breath using techniques like breathing exercises, relaxation, pacing activities, and adjusting medications.
Cough and secretions: Providing pulmonary hygiene and other methods to manage a chronic cough and excessive respiratory secretions.
Anxiety: Addressing anxiety that can worsen breathing difficulties.
Equipment and therapy
Equipment management: Evaluating, providing, and managing home respiratory equipment like oxygen concentrators, nebulizers, CPAP/BiPAP machines, and mucus clearance devices.
High-flow oxygen therapy: Administering high-flow oxygen to provide relief.
Non-invasive ventilation: Using non-invasive ventilation (like CPAP or BiPAP) to support breathing.
Tracheotomy and ventilator care: Providing care for patients with a tracheotomy and managing the process of ventilator discontinuation.
Education and support
Patient and family education: Educating patients and their families on how to safely and adequately use respiratory equipment and medications.
Caregiver support: Helping caregivers understand the patient’s condition and how to provide appropriate care.
Activity and energy conservation: Recommending strategies to simplify tasks and conserve energy for daily activities.
Team collaboration: Working with an interdisciplinary team, including doctors and nurses, to create a comprehensive care plan.
