Respiratory Therapy Technician Jobs in North Carolina

A Respiratory Therapy Technician plays a vital role in the therapy industry by providing care for patients suffering from various respiratory conditions such as chronic respiratory diseases, asthma, emphysema, or other lung-related ailments. Their primary duties include conducting diagnostic tests, administering aerosol or inhalant therapies, monitoring patient's response to treatment, and maintaining patient records. They work closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals in developing and implementing treatment plans. Furthermore, they maintain and operate medical equipment used in respiratory care such as ventilators, oxygen supply devices, and nebulizers.
