Respiratory therapist

A respiratory therapist is a healthcare professional who specializes in helping patients with breathing problems. They work with individuals who have conditions like asthma, COPD, and pneumonia, providing treatments such as oxygen therapy and breathing exercises. Respiratory therapists assess patients' lung function, develop treatment plans, and monitor progress. They also educate patients and their families about managing respiratory conditions. Typically found in hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers, their role is crucial in supporting patients' respiratory health and improving their quality of life.
