What they do

Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs) in Florida assess, treat, and manage patients with breathing problems caused by chronic conditions like COPD and asthma, acute illness such as pneumonia, trauma, or critical injuries requiring mechanical ventilation. They administer oxygen and aerosolized medication, manage mechanical ventilators and non-invasive ventilation, perform arterial blood gas sampling, support patients during bronchoscopy procedures, and participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

RRTs work in adult and neonatal intensive care units, emergency departments, general medical floors, pulmonary function labs, sleep labs, rehabilitation units, home care, and air and ground transport. In Florida, they often respond to rapid response and code-blue events and are essential to weaning patients from ventilators. Some Florida RRTs also serve in disaster response and surge capacity for respiratory emergencies, a role highlighted by recent hurricane and pandemic events. Their decisions can quickly stabilize or further compromise a patient, making the role highly responsible.

Licensing in Florida

To practice in Florida, candidates must complete an accredited respiratory therapy program and earn the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential from the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC). Florida applicants submit fingerprints, education and exam verification, and a Board application. Licenses are renewed every two years with documented continuing education, including state-required topics. The Florida Board of Respiratory Care regulates licensure, scope of practice, and disciplinary action for the profession.

How to verify or report

Verify a Florida RRT license through the Florida MQA license search. To report unsafe care, impairment, or unprofessional conduct, file through the Florida Department of Health complaint form or by phone at 850-488-0796.
