In labor and delivery, RTs set up blenders and humidifiers. They assist with intubations and stabilize and transfer patients when necessary. Occasionally, RTs may need to go to the sleep lab to provide oxygen or make adjustments based on the licensed polysomnographer's direction. RTs are required to assist with intubations, not to perform them independently. There is a manager available Monday through Friday.
