What do Pulmonary Rehabilitation Certified Respiratory Therapists do?
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Certified Respiratory Therapists (RTs) help patients with chronic lung diseases manage their condition through a program that includes supervised exercise, education on breathing techniques, and strategies for managing daily tasks.
They work with doctors to create personalized treatment plans, educate patients on using their medications and oxygen, and provide emotional and nutritional support to improve their overall quality of life.
What they do
Develop and manage treatment plans: They coordinate with doctors to create and carry out therapy plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Lead supervised exercise: The team conducts supervised exercise classes to help patients build strength and endurance.
Educate patients on managing their condition, including breathing techniques, medication use, and equipment such as oxygen tanks.
Provide support: They offer support for emotional and social challenges, such as anxiety and depression, that often accompany chronic lung disease.
Monitor patient health: They monitor patients’ breathing, blood oxygen levels, and other vital signs during and outside of therapy sessions.
Suggest lifestyle adaptations: They provide dietary suggestions and advice on managing daily tasks to make them less tiring.
Assessing environmental risks may help patients identify and avoid triggers such as air pollution or mold that could cause flare-ups.
