Respiratory Care is an allied health specialty engaged in the treatment, management, control and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the process of breathing, primarily in the treatment of heart and lung ailments such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema,emphysema, cerebral thrombosis, drowning, hemorrhage and shock.
Noting the many uses of R.T.s in the hospital, The Journal of The American Hospital Association , states: "The demand for Respiratory Therapy is great, because its therapeutic and diagnostic procedures apply to young patients as well as to old, to acutely ill as well as to chronically ill, to ambulatory outpatients as well as to bedfast inpatients, and in fact, to patients in every department of the hospital."
