I heard about respiratory therapy and through a family member and quickly became curious having never heard of it before. Respiratory therapists work with the lungs, breathing and cardiopulmonary functions of the body. With a father that suffers from sleep apnea, a brother with asthma and another brother born into a NICU unit this field became my choice of study. Respiratory Therapists work in a variety of settings from hospitals, clinics, and pediatrics working with patients of all ages to sleep centers or even in a patient's home. They can work in many different areas of the hospital as well as varying departments, each of which consists of their own responsibilities regarding patients and procedures.…

Emphysema is caused by damage to air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.…
