Who is a "respiratory therapist"?
A respiratory therapist is a healthcare professional who specializes in helping people with breathing difficulties because of conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, or respiratory failure. These specialists work with patients of all ages to improve their breathing function, provide treatments to enhance breathing, and help in managing lung conditions. Respiratory therapists give breathing treatments, such as oxygen therapy and inhalation therapy, and help with chest therapy and using machines to help with breathing. They also educate patients about their lung conditions, teach breathing exercises, and provide support to quit smoking.
