Respiratory Therapy

The expanding horizon of medical technology into everyday healthcare is creating veritable medical miracles. Today, physicians and other healthcare providers have the resources to save lives that did not exist even one generation ago. One such case is respiratory therapy, a discipline of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of what would otherwise be fatal cardiopulmonary disorders.

Respiratory therapy introduces a host of life-saving equipment and therapeutic practices all fixed on helping patients breathe. In an emergency, a respiratory therapist responds to acute cardiopulmonary dysfunctions, assisting a patient's breathing through Incentive Spirometry (IS). This critical therapy instructs a patient to take deep breaths in order to prevent the collapse of the alveoli, or the air sacks within the lungs.
