service at Zuckerberg San Francisco General. ZSFG operates the only level 1 trauma center for more than 1.5 million residents of San Francisco and northern
San Mateo County in its new, state of the art facility which opened in May 2016.
RCS plays a vital role in the emergency department which treats more than 3,000
severely injured patients every year.
Respiratory Care Services provides care throughout the hospital. On the general care wards, respiratory care practitioners (RCP) function primarily as consultants, emergency

RCS has a growing presence in the out-patient pulmonary clinics as primary care givers, advisors and consultants.
A Respiratory Care Practitioner at ZSFG works under medical direction, provides care, treatment, and rehabilitation topatients with pulmonary disorders by means of respiratory
care procedures and protocols. All procedures are performed by a licensed RCP
in an aseptic manner and follows infection control policies.
The RCP will routinely perform other ancillary therapies such as aerosolized prostacyclin, prone positioning and recruitment maneuvers. In addition,therapists routinely participate in the transport and monitoring of critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients to special
procedure areas and surgery. Our general respiratory care practice includes standard
oxygen therapy, aerosol therapy, high flow/high FIO2 therapy and non-invasive ventilation
as well as lung expansion and pulmonary hygiene therapies. Our services emphasize
evidenced-based, protocol driven management with quality assurance oversight.
The RCP will require nearly constant fine and gross motor manipulation of the hands
and arms, nearly constant standing or walking, and a virtually constant work-pace.
The RCP must be able to push, pull, lift and carry a minimum of 20 lbs. The RCP is a part of the health care team and may be called upon toassist nursing and physician staff
