How can positive pressure be bad, and they make me use a CPAP machine, which is short for Continuous positive airway pressure?

Does that mean not using it, like I've been guilty of, is actually a good thing?

I can't stand the idea of something being attached to my face while I sleep, and the previous machine was stopping my breathing, b/c something was wrong with the machine.

There's nothing like having your breathing stopped to make you afraid to use a new one.

@vickiormindyb best way is avoid the ventilator. if she is on the vent support try to wean off it if possible. positive pressure isnt normal.

At 1:10 is where he goes wrong about one thing, Nurses and Doctors do stand at a bedside for 24 hours and make a impact on a patients life and cares a lot for them but so does a Physician Assistant .. Guessing he never heard of one

how hard is it to find an RT job

[Doctorknow956]

Respiratory therapy sucks ..do nursing instead... there is more job security in nursing plus your options are almost endless...if you lose a job in nursing you can almost walk across the street to another hospital and find another job that easy. In respiratory that is almost impossible especially in the summer months. Do yourselves a favor and go into nursing...
