I assess patient with breathing issues. Consult with doctors in order to develop a treatment plan for each patient in need of respiratory care during their hospital stay.I use critical thinking skills to determine whether a patient needs breathing treatment, CPT,suctioning or intubating and/or extubating. I also assist doctors with different procedures such as bronchoscopy and tracheostomy insertions.During my shift I monitor patients on bipap,ventilators or any other type of oxygen device.Each patient is weaned off the device according to their daily lab results.
