A Respiratory Care Technologist plays a crucial role in diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with respiratory disorders. Their primary responsibility is to assist physicians in providing respiratory care, including oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and airway management.
They perform diagnostic tests like pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis to assess lung function. Respiratory Care Technologists also educate patients on using inhalers, nebulizers, and other respiratory devices.
