Respiratory Therapists play a valuable role in not only caring for and monitoring COPD patients, but also in motivating and empowering patients to take control of their COPD through education and self management skills. So many COPD patients do not receive adequate instruction or follow up in how to use their inhalers, for example, and end up back in the hospital as a result  with even more damage to their already damaged lungs. They NEED RT services as they are the experts.
