A respiratory therapist is involved with some of the most highly advanced technologies in medical science. Their duties may focus on assisting an anesthesiologist in monitoring a patient's breathing during surgery, diagnosing and treating life-threatening breathing disorders such as sleep apnea, or counseling patients on the effects of smoking and creating a treatment program to help them quit. Respiratory therapists are often called upon to act as a fist responder to accidents or disaster areas, providing critical care to some of the most vulnerable patients.

As a respiratory therapist, you are called upon to diagnose lung and breathing disorders, calculating the effects of a treatment program that you and a team of skilled practitioners implement. You will study a patient's cardiopulmonary system through a mixture of diagnostic testing such as examinations of tissue and blood specimens, or through the study of the patient's breathing.
