What do Educational Certified Respiratory Therapists do?

Educational Certified Respiratory Therapists (CRT) are healthcare professionals who treat patients with breathing, heart, and lung disorders. 

They perform diagnostic tests, develop and manage treatment plans, and educate patients on managing their conditions. CRTs work with patients of all ages, from premature infants to adults with chronic lung diseases like asthma and COPD, and collaborate with physicians and nurses to provide care. 

What they do

Patient assessment: Interview patients, perform physical exams, and review medical history to understand their condition. 

Diagnostic testing: Administer tests like pulmonary function tests and blood gas analyses to evaluate lung function and blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. 

Treatment administration: Provide treatments such as chest physiotherapy, administer aerosol medications, and manage mechanical ventilators for patients on life support. 

Treatment planning: Develop and implement treatment plans for patients with respiratory conditions, often in consultation with physicians. 

Patient and family education: Teach patients how to use medications, equipment like inhalers or CPAP machines, and how to manage their condition. 

Emergency response: Provide critical care during emergencies, such as respiratory crises, and respond to urgent care calls. 

Monitoring and documentation: Continuously monitor patients’ progress and record their response to treatment.
