Their tasks are similar to that of a respiratory therapists, but the therapists have more responsibility and can make independent judgments.

Respiratory therapy technicians have to adhere to medical regulations and safe technical procedures. They may have to monitor patients, the patients' recovery and response to treatment. Other duties are: explaining the treatment to patients, suggesting treatment adjustments and keeping records of therapies and progress. Cleaning and maintaining the respiratory diagnosis and treatment equipment is the responsibility of respiratory technicians.

The resume of respiratory therapy technicians needs to include a special certificate in practicing respiratory therapy, an educational background in the field and a minimum experience. A nursing inclination and the ability to communicate effectively with patients are required, as well as the ability to work in exposure to respiratory diseases that may be contagious.
