What do Critical Care Certified Respiratory Therapists do?
Critical Care Certified Respiratory Therapists (CRTs) provide advanced respiratory support to critically ill patients in settings such as the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), managing mechanical ventilators, administering specialized gas therapies, and performing life-saving interventions.
They work as part of a critical care team, assisting physicians and nurses with tasks such as bronchoscopy assistance, hemodynamic monitoring, and diagnostic blood sampling.
What they do
Patient and family education: Educate families on treatment plans and equipment use, especially in less acute situations, while also documenting patient care.
Ventilator management: Operate, set up, and monitor mechanical ventilators for patients who cannot breathe on their own.
Life support: Provide a wide range of life-saving respiratory care, including managing patients on transport ventilators during inter-facility transfers.
Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures: Assist with bronchoscopies, draw blood samples for diagnostic testing, and administer specialized gases like nitric oxide or heliox.
Patient assessment and treatment: Collaborate with other medical staff to develop and implement treatment plans, including administering aerosolized medications and conducting chest physiotherapy to clear the lungs.
Monitoring: Conduct hemodynamic monitoring and evaluate patient progress to ensure effective treatment.
Team collaboration: Work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, and other specialists in high-pressure, high-stakes environments.
