Respiratory therapy is an allied health profession in which licensed respiratory therapists evaluate and treat patients with breathing difficulties, using tools such as ventilators, nebulizers, and oxygen delivery systems. Respiratory therapists work in intensive care units, emergency departments, and sleep labs, often responding to critical situations like cardiac arrest or premature infant care. The profession requires an accredited degree and passing national certification exams.
