  • Developing and Implementing Treatment Plans :
  • Collaborate with physicians to develop and implement personalized treatment plans for patients with respiratory issues.
  • Adjust and monitor ventilation settings for patients requiring mechanical ventilation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (e.g., CPAP, BiPAP).
  • Administer respiratory therapy treatments, including oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, pulmonary rehabilitation, and airway clearance techniques.
  • Administering Respiratory Treatments :
  • Provide oxygen therapy via nasal cannulas, masks, or mechanical ventilators for patients with respiratory distress or low oxygen levels.
  • Perform aerosol therapy to deliver medication directly to the lungs via inhalers, nebulizers, or other devices.

  • Monitoring and Evaluating Patient Progress :
  • Continuously monitor the effectiveness of respiratory treatments and adjust therapy as necessary based on patient responses.
  • Assess patients for signs of respiratory distress and intervene promptly when complications arise.
  • Track and document patient progress, ensuring treatments are tailored to the patient’s evolving needs.

  • Assist with intubation, mechanical ventilation, and weaning from life support when necessary.
  • Patient Education and Support :
  • Educate patients and families on proper use of respiratory equipment, medications, and techniques for managing respiratory conditions at home.
  • Provide guidance on lifestyle changes to improve lung health, such as quitting smoking, controlling asthma triggers, and managing chronic respiratory diseases.
  • Offer instruction on pulmonary rehabilitation exercises to strengthen lung capacity and improve overall physical health.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Team :
  • Work closely with physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop a holistic care plan for respiratory patients.
  • Attend multidisciplinary care meetings to discuss patient progress, treatment goals, and necessary adjustments.
  • Communicate effectively with patients and their families, ensuring they understand treatment plans and ongoing care needs.
  • Documentation and Record Keeping :
  • Maintain accurate and detailed records of patient assessments, treatments, medications, and progress in accordance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA).
  • Ensure proper documentation for insurance billing, treatment plans, and patient updates.
  • Record patient responses to treatments, including vital signs, oxygen saturation, and any adverse reactions or complications.
