Article in magazine for respiratory therapists puts spotlight on Alpha-1, and major role RTs can play in improving detection
The role of the respiratory therapist in Alpha-1 detection is examined in the current issue of ADVANCE for Respiratory Care Practitioners.
The magazine for respiratory therapists carries a two-page feature on Alpha-1. The article carries two highlighted boxes defining Alpha-1 and outlining the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society for Alpha-1 testing.
The article also summarizes several current research studies involving respiratory therapists in Alpha-1 detection, and legislative developments this year of special interest to both Alphas and respiratory therapists.
The primary article is written by Alpha-1 Communications Manager Bob Campbell, who discusses his own history of many years of symptoms before his correct Alpha-1 diagnosis.
