What do Emergency Care Registered Respiratory Therapists do?

Emergency Care Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs) assess patients with breathing problems, perform advanced airway management, administer medications and oxygen, and operate mechanical ventilators to provide critical respiratory support. 

They are essential members of the emergency care team, specializing in cardiopulmonary disorders to offer acute and critical respiratory care to patients of all ages. 

What they do

Patient Assessment: Evaluate patients’ breathing difficulties to determine the appropriate course of treatment. 

Airway Management: Secure airways for patients who cannot breathe independently and prepare for procedures such as intubation. 

Ventilator Management: Connect patients to ventilators, set up and monitor equipment, and adjust settings to ensure proper oxygen delivery and ventilation. 

Medication Administration: Administer aerosolized medications, including those delivered via nebulizers. 

Oxygen Therapy: Initiate and manage oxygen therapy to provide supplemental oxygen to patients as needed. 

Resuscitation: Plays a vital role in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts during cardiac arrest. 

Patient Education: Educate patients and their families about conditions such as asthma, proper inhaler use, and other breathing techniques. 

Environment

Diverse Patient Populations: RRTs care for a broad range of patients, from critically ill adults and pediatric patients to premature infants with undeveloped lungs. 

Dynamic and Demanding: RRTs work in a fast-paced environment where their specialized skills in emergency assessment and intervention are crucial for stabilizing critically ill patients. 

Team Collaboration: They work as a core member of the patient care team, collaborating with doctors and other healthcare professionals.
