A freestanding emergency department in the Florida Panhandle is hiring a Respiratory Therapist. This is a placement managed by Lela Boom Consulting Group.
About the role
The Respiratory Therapist functions as a core member of the patient care team, delivering diagnostic and therapeutic respiratory services in alignment with state and specialty scope-of-practice standards. Day-to-day responsibilities include performing and documenting patient assessments — evaluating breath sounds, airway patency, and cuff pressure — and conducting diagnostic procedures to determine the need for and response to respiratory therapy. The therapist administers oxygen delivery, aerosol medication delivery, and chest physiotherapy, and assists with placement of artificial airways while initiating, monitoring, and maintaining invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation. The role also requires transporting ventilator-dependent patients and responding to emergent situations to ensure airway integrity and adequate ventilation during resuscitation.
