I have extensive experience managing ventilators, including setting up, monitoring, and adjusting ventilator settings to meet patient needs. I am proficient in both invasive and non-invasive ventilation techniques and have worked with diverse patient populations, including those in critical care and long-term care settings. My focus is always on ensuring optimal oxygenation and ventilation while minimizing complications.

In emergency situations, I remain calm and follow established protocols to stabilize the patient. I assess the situation quickly, prioritize airway management, and initiate appropriate interventions such as oxygen therapy, suctioning, or intubation if necessary. I also communicate effectively with the healthcare team to ensure coordinated care and patient safety.

I have conducted and interpreted pulmonary function tests (PFTs) for patients with various respiratory conditions. I am skilled in performing spirometry, lung volume measurements, and diffusion capacity tests. I ensure patients understand the procedure and provide clear explanations of results to physicians to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

I stay current by attending professional conferences, participating in continuing education courses, and reading peer-reviewed journals. I am also an active member of respiratory therapy associations, which provide access to the latest research, guidelines, and best practices in the field. This helps me deliver evidence-based care to my patients.

I tailor patient education to individual needs, using clear, simple language and visual aids when necessary. I focus on teaching proper inhaler techniques, breathing exercises, and lifestyle modifications to manage conditions like asthma or COPD. I also emphasize the importance of adherence to treatment plans and follow-up care to improve outcomes.
