According to the United States Army's web site:
The respiratory care practitioner (RCP) is called on to help evaluate patients with respiratory problems and disease processes. From there they have to determine a treatment plan. The ideal RCP not only carries out the plan but also evaluates the results and makes timely suggestions to the attending physician. Today, the competent RCP is an extension of the eyes and ears of the physician. Respiratory care is a dynamic and ever changing health profession in which RCP's manage life-sustaining devices, administer sophisticated tests, and participate in research studies. RCP's are called upon to assess patients, develop care plans, treat patients, educate patients, and solve problems in a variety of patient settings.
