Description Sixty to 80 percent of all hospitalized patients receive some form of respiratory therapy. Twelve percent of all patients undergoing surgery have post-operative pulmonary problems. Respiratory therapy is instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management, control and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may be found in the newborn nursery, the surgical and medical wards, the emergency room, the outpatient department and the intensive care unit of the hospital. They may be suffering from a variety of acute and chronic conditions that are either life threatening or disabling. While intensive respiratory care is essential, the day-today respiratory care is also important. Respiratory therapy personnel, working from the written orders of a physician, carry out specific therapeutic measures to assist the respiratory distressed patient. Respiratory care practitioners must be competent in such areas as medical gas administration (including oxygen), humidification, aerosols, hyperinflation techniques, bronchopulmonary drainage and exercises, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function studies, blood-gas analysis, and physiological status. Astute patient care and observation by trained respiratory therapy personnel is essential. Respiratory care practitioners are "life-support" specialists. Student Services Interdisc.
