MEET THE OBJECTIVES

15. References: Pages 4, 11
The actual definition of respiratory therapy is “the health care discipline that specializes
in the promotion of optimal cardiopulmonary function and health.”
Main concepts may include the assessment, treatment, management, control, diagnostic
evaluation, education, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the

cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory care is increasingly involved in the prevention of
respiratory disease, the management of patients with chronic respiratory disease, and the
promotion of health and wellness.
The Inhalation Therapy Association (ITA) was the first professional association in
respiratory care. The ITA became the American Association for Inhalation Therapists
(AAIT) in 1954, the American Association for Respiratory Therapy (ARRT) in 1973, and
the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in 1982.

16. Reference: Page 14
The first course in inhalation therapy was offered in 1950. Programs in the 1960s focused
on teaching students the proper application of O2 therapy, O2 delivery systems,
humidifiers, and nebulizers and the use of various IPPB devices. The new standard
requires an associate degree for entry into the profession. There will be a need for
individuals with more education so more baccalaureate and graduate education is needed.
Technician programs no longer exist.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

20. The general answer is management, supervision, research, and education. You can
also become a case manager, a drug representative, or go on for graduate education in
anesthesia or as a physician assistant.

21. This question is a simple classic that has many possible answers.
Dr. David Pierson promoted the science of respiratory care and the use of protocols. He
helped us elevate our practice. Joseph Priestley discovered O2, and Thomas Beddoes first
used it. I would like to be a therapist who becomes a pioneer of a new and vital technique.

Protocols improve the allocation of respiratory resources by reducing misallocations such
as over-ordering. Protocols also reduce costs. Care may be enhanced.

8. Reference: Pages 36-38
The ARDSNet studies produced scientific evidence. When analyzed, they showed that
you could decrease patient mortality by following specific guidelines for volume
ventilation. Using 4 to 8 ml/kg as the breath size saved lives.
