Respiratory Compromise and the Role of the RT

Respiratory Compromise is a term that is frequently used but lacking clear definition. Patients across the hospital may be at risk due to medications, procedures, co-morbidities, and other factors. This presentation will discuss the cascade of respiratory compromise from being at risk to respiratory failure/arrest and how earlier identification may lead to prevention rather than rescue.
