Caroline Ramos

Respiratory therapy plays a crucial role in the field of healthcare, focusing on the prevention, assessment, treatment and management of patients with breathing and cardiopulmonary disorders. Respiratory therapists are skilled healthcare professionals who work collaboratively with physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers to ensure optimal respiratory function in patients of all ages. This article explores the significance of respiratory therapy and the diverse range of services it encompasses. Respiratory therapists are trained to assess patients with breathing difficulties, chronic respiratory conditions and cardiovascular disorders. They conduct various diagnostic tests, such as pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gas analysis and sleep studies, to evaluate the efficiency of the respiratory system.
