To all my fellow respiratory therapists: #BreathingJoe #Empoweringrespiratorytherapists As a Respiratory Therapist, amidst the beeping monitors and busy corridors, I'm reminded daily that putting the ‘CARE’ back in healthcare is not just a slogan, but a way of life. As a respiratory care practitioner, I navigate the delicate balance of science and compassion, serving adults, children, and even our tiniest fighters - premature infants. And yes, in the midst of it all, I bring my comedian spirit along. Because in the laughter shared, even in the toughest moments, we find strength, connection, and the true essence of care." "In the intricate dance of critical care, where every breath matters and every second counts, I'm privileged to be part of a team that embodies the essence of compassion. Whether it's holding the hand of a worried parent, comforting a frightened child, or fine-tuning ventilator settings for a fragile premature baby, it's the human connection that fuels us as RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS in our mission. As a respiratory care practitioner, I've learned that healing goes beyond the confines of medical protocols; it's about lending an ear, sharing a smile, and being present in the moment. And amidst the chaos, I weave in humor because laughter is the universal language of healing. In the punchlines and light-hearted moments, we find solace, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of care that defines our profession." For those who know me, they will say that I’m always a phone call away, ready to listen and give advice. But, they also take the risk that I may crack, a joke or three. It’s my nature, it’s my way of style, and it’s my humanistic approach to holistic medicine. Try laughing now because right now… Everything is Copacetic..!!

Early mobility in intensive care units.When you have a great successful team, the impossible is always possible. Imagine this is the case with every candidate who is not having contraindications for early mobility. Can you relate to the cost reductions arising from such a move? Not to mention the patients' satisfaction, staff empowerment, and autonomy. #TeamSuccess #PatientCare #StaffEmpowerment #valuecare #autonomy #education #recognition #adequatestaffing
Expert in Awake and Walking ICU Models | Transformative ICU Consultant | Acute Care Nurse Practitioner | "Walking Home From the ICU" Podcast
What you need to create an Awake and Walking ICU: Part 1 Let's start with talking about RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS, since we really don't talk about them enough. Look at my friend, Clint, in the green scrubs in this video. I don't know how many pairs of shoes he goes through in a year, but he does innumerable laps with patients around the unit. He takes every possible intubated patient out and around this ICU for TWO SESSIONS during his day shift. Respiratory therapists can be key leaders of early mobility in the ICU. They are in charge of getting patients off the ventilator. Preserving the muscular and cognitive capacity to independently breathe is ESSENTIAL to successful extubation. I have seen them rally the troops and call in their colleagues to say, "Let's do this. I'm going in for a vent check an ___o'clock." --- The teams falls in line. Respiratory therapists need: - ADEQUATE STAFFING - This is one of the BEST ways to advocate for staffing. The ABCDEF bundle decreases healthcare costs by at least 30%! - ANIALATION OF VALUE-LESS CARE - There are WAY too many unnecessary breathing treatments stop them from being available for life-saving mobility -AUTONOMY - I've seen some hospitals allow respiratory therapists to use critical thinking and clinical judgement to adjust ventilator settings and modes to improve support and comfort for patients. This all impacts sedation and mobility management. - Some hospitals tie the RTs' hands and require them to follow rigid protocols and chase down doctors for any minor changes. - EDUCATION - They need to be supported in being prepared to practice at the top of their license, critically think, and provide essential contributions to the team with their expertise. - They need to understand their role in the ABCDEF bundle beyond changing modes for SBTs. They also need to know how to troubleshoot SBTs to identify the cause of failure and bring the team together to address the problems. - RECOGNITION - I am amazed and honored to be associated with some of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and skillful clinicians that are respiratory therapists. They need to be seen as the life-savers they are in the ICU. #respiratorytherapists, what else do you need to be able to optimize your role in creating an #AwakeandWalkingICU?

Respiratory therapists play a crucial role in healthcare, particularly in assisting patients with breathing difficulties or disorders. To provide your patients the best level of care and expertise, here are some items to consider: (1) Education and Training: Ensure you have the necessary education and training to practice as a respiratory therapist. This typically involves completing a degree program in respiratory therapy from an accredited institution and obtaining licensure or certification as required by your jurisdiction. (2) Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated with the latest advancements, techniques, and research in respiratory therapy. This can be achieved through continuing education courses, attending conferences, and subscribing to relevant medical journals. (3) Professional Organizations: Consider joining professional organizations such as the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) or the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT). These organizations offer resources, networking opportunities, and professional development opportunities for respiratory therapists. "Never stop learning because life never stops teaching!"
