Daniel Ericson

• Administered appropriate respiratory treatments to patients using medical equipment.
• Documented treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes in medical records.
• Educated patients about respiratory conditions, treatment plans and medication use, thereby ensuring safety and the well-being of the patients.
• Cooperated and communicated effectively with physicians to ensure client satisfaction and compliance with set standards.
• Improved delivery of patient care through reviewing and implementing improvements to clinical approaches.
• Transported patients to and from different departments, via Bi-Pap, CPAP, and mechanical ventilation.
• Responded to Code Red/Green pages and assisting in planning for the disposition of patient to the correct area of care.
• Performed ABG, EKG, and PFT tests and communicated results.
• Assist and/or facilitates intubation, including tracheostomy replacements. This includes the use of bronchoscope, glidescope, and stylet to complete the tasks.
• Mechanical ventilation via volume, VC+, pressure control, pressure support, Bi-level, and CPAP modes.
• NICU (Level II) with delivery, cord gases, ABG's, mechanical ventilation, bubble CPAP, and high-flow nasal cannula.
• ER (Level II) using mechanical ventilation, ABG's/VBG's, cardiac and/or respiratory arrest, continuous nebilization treatments, BI-Pap, and tracheostomy changes.
• OR/PACU and the cardiac cath lab using an IABP, includes setting up the IABP to transporting to ICU/CCU and continue to monitor the patient thereafter.
• ICU/CCU with mechanical ventilation, BI-Pap/CPAP, weaning of patients, ABG's, aerosol therapy, nebilization treatments, and oxygen therapy.
• PFT lab including complete PFT's with lung volume and DLCO calculations.
• HBO (mono chambers) including use of mechanical ventilation during the dives.

• Improved delivery of patient care through reviewing and implementing improvements to clinical approaches.
• Developed treatment plans for patients resulting in 100% respiratory condition symptom relief. This is done by facilitating ongoing assessment of patient/family needs and implementation of interdisciplinary team care plan.
• Administered appropriate respiratory treatments to patients using medical equipment and documented treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes in medical records.
• Educated patients about respiratory conditions, treatment plans, and medication use.
• Liaised between patients and physicians to ensure patient comprehension of treatment plans.
• Established and maintained systems that safely met residents' needs. A large percentage of patients served by the Respiratory Department were long-term residents of Madonna.
• Provided all daily living tasks to enhance the quality of life for elderly patients. Assisted residents with bathing, dressing, feeding, lifting, and transferring.
• Downsizing tracheostomy, including routine, daily care of tracheostomy/stoma.
• Provided connection to mechanical ventilation on patient's scheduled routine times. This includes Passy Muir devices, one-way valves, or cap-on tracheostomies during the patient's off time from the mechanical ventilator.

• Administered appropriate respiratory treatments to patients using medical equipment.
• Documented treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes in medical records. Educated patients about respiratory conditions, treatment plans, and medication use, thereby ensuring the safety and well-being of patients.
• Cooperated and communicated effectively with physicians to ensure client satisfaction and compliance with set standards.
• Improved delivery of patient care through reviewing and implementing improvements to clinical approaches.
• Transported patients to and from different departments, via mechanical ventilation.
• Responded to Code Red/Blue/Green pages and assisted in planning for the transfer of patients to the correct area of care.
• Performed ABG and EKG tests and communicated results.
• Assist with intubation, including bronchoscope, and rigid stylet to complete tasks.
• Use of mechanical ventilation via volume, pressure support, and CPAP modes. This included weaning and extubation of patients.
• General floor duties included ABGs, aerosol therapy, nebulization treatments, and oxygen therapy.
• Growing work in NICU (Level I) with delivery, cord gases, and ABGs. This included emergent intubation followed by air transport to a higher level of care.
• ER support (Level III) using mechanical ventilation, ABGs/VBGs, cardiac and/or respiratory arrest, and nebulization treatments.

During these years, I managed to work in many Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Orange County hospitals through several medical staffing agencies,
