A member asked:
How many respiratory therapist's are needed in a hospital? is there a high demand for them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Respiratory: Therapists needed depend on the size and capability of the hospital. In any case, at any shift one is needed to take care of patients needs but has to alternate so more is needed. In ones with icu, rt's are needed to take are of vents. So the number needed is variable.
