What do Emergency Care Certified Respiratory Therapists do?
Emergency care-certified respiratory therapists (RTs) provide immediate, life-saving respiratory support to patients experiencing breathing emergencies like asthma attacks, COPD flare-ups, cardiac arrest, and trauma.
They assess patients, manage airways, administer medications, operate ventilators, and provide emergency oxygen therapy.
These therapists are essential members of the emergency care team, trained to handle high-pressure situations with speed and skill to stabilize patients and improve their breathing.
What they do
Patient transport: Transport patients to other departments like CT or MRI while maintaining their respiratory care.
Patient assessment: Evaluate a patient’s breathing status and determine the necessary respiratory treatment.
Airway management: Secure and clear blocked airways, including preparing for and assisting with intubation and performing suctioning.
Emergency procedures: Respond to medical emergencies like cardiac arrest and trauma, providing critical care at a moment’s notice.
Medication administration: Administer cardiopulmonary medications, often via nebulizer, to open airways or reduce inflammation.
Ventilator management: Connect patients who can’t breathe on their own to ventilators, setting up and monitoring the equipment to ensure correct oxygen delivery.
Oxygen therapy: Initiate and manage oxygen therapy to help patients with low oxygen levels.
Patient and family education: Educate patients and their families on how to manage their condition and use equipment like inhalers.
Equipment operation: Use and maintain a variety of equipment, such as pulse oximeters, spirometers, and ventilators.
