What do Pulmonary Diagnostics Registered Respiratory Therapists do?
Pulmonary Diagnostics Registered Respiratory Therapists specialize in performing tests that assess lung function and diagnose breathing and cardiopulmonary disorders, such as asthma or COPD.
They operate specialized equipment to measure lung capacity, administer pulmonary function tests, and interpret results to help physicians develop treatment plans and monitor patient progress.
What they do
Administer Diagnostic Tests: Conduct various tests, including pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to measure lung volume and how well the lungs move air.
Operate specialized equipment, such as spirometers, to measure airflow and volume, and perform tests like gas diffusion studies to assess gas transfer in the lungs.
Interpret Test Results: Analyze test data to help physicians determine the type and progression of lung diseases and assess the effectiveness of treatments.
Consult with Physicians: Collaborate with doctors to understand patient conditions and discuss appropriate diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Monitor Patient Progress: Track patients’ conditions and responses to treatments, documenting notes to share with the medical team.
Educate Patients and Families: Explain lung conditions, test procedures, and disease management strategies to patients and their families, improving understanding and compliance.
Work in Specialized Settings: Work in hospital cardiopulmonary labs, outpatient clinics, and other settings focused on the diagnosis and treatment of lung disorders.
Common Conditions They Help Diagnose Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cystic Fibrosis, and Other Chronic Lung Diseases.
What They Measure
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Levels: By performing tests like arterial blood gases (ABGs).
Lung Capacity: How much air the lungs can hold.
Airflow and Lung Function: The speed and volume of air inhaled and exhaled.
