About the Role

As a Registered Respiratory Therapist (Neonate), you will be an integral part of our team, administering respiratory care to patients as ordered by attending physicians. Your role involves conducting diagnostic procedures to evaluate the need for and response to therapy, ensuring the highest standards of care for our neonatal patients.

You will work in a dynamic environment where you initiate, monitor, and maintain mechanically ventilated patients, assist with artificial airway placement, and manage ECMO as appropriate. A significant part of your day will involve responding immediately to emergency codes, managing airways and external compressions, and handling emergent situations such as Rapid Response, Stroke Alerts, and Trauma Alerts. You will also perform noninvasive and invasive diagnostic tests, including arterial blood gas sampling and pulmonary function tests, while ensuring all equipment is cleaned, calibrated, and maintained to manufacturer specifications.

Beyond clinical duties, you will instruct patients and family members on proper respiratory therapy methods and collaborate with other departments to ensure seamless care. Your work directly supports our commitment to treating high-acuity surgical patients and providing a full spectrum of women's and neonatal services.
