| These practitioners diagnose and treat patients with a wide range of cardiopulmonary disorders, such as asthma, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and pneumonia. The respiratory care practitioner (RCP) employs a variety of sophisticated medical equipment and therapies in the management of patients in hospitals, clinics, and home settings. This multifaceted profession involves evaluation of lung and cardiac function, administration of oxygen and therapeutic medications, remedial breathing exercises, cardiopulmonary respiratory therapy, mechanical ventilation, and other life support procedures. Respiratory care involves a high degree of patient interaction in both critical and long-term situations. The knowledge and skills of the RCP are necessary in many aspects of health care, including medical and surgical intensive care, neonatal intensive care, pediatrics, coronary care and hemodynamic monitoring, pulmonary function and exercise testing, emergency services and trauma care, rehabilitation and home care, land and air patient transport services, discharge planning and patient education, departmental management, clinical research, teaching, and administration. |
