Respiratory Therapist (RT)
Respiratory Therapists (RTs) have training to deliver multiple treatments to the cardiopulmonary system (heart and lungs). RTs may administer chest physiotherapy, assist in the management of ventilators, and deliver medications to the lungs. They are actively involved with babies having breathing problems, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
RTs might also be members of the NICU Transport Team or become ECMO specialists after specialized training.
