HealthcarePatient Safety Management5CriticalRespiratory Therapist$ implied
Substitution of specialized respiratory therapists with general nurses for complex ventilator management creates patient safety risks due to nurses' lack of proficiency.
General nurses lack the specialized training and experience to safely manage ventilators, BiPAP modes, troubleshooting, and initiation in ICU and NICU settings, and virtual RT help may not be sufficient for real-time emergencies.
