Medicine: where million-dollar drugs and a $0.03 alcohol wipe have recognized success....nausea doesn’t stand a chance. Love it. @TXState_RC @tsrc_org @aarc_tweets @NBRC_tweets @MarshallDocg

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

Well, at least the stomach won’t be hypoxic. 🤦‍♂️ Somebody call RT! 💪 @TXState_RC @tsrc_org @MarshallDocg @abbey_hudgins

[TX State Resp Care @TXState_RC]

This is the kind of lung logic that gets calling Dr. Collins! 🫁
🔹GLI tells you if it’s abnormal
🌟STAR shows how far obstruction has gone
🟨GOLD hints at what comes next
Diagnosis ➡️ Staging ➡️ Prognosis
@tsrc_org @abbeyhudgins @MarshallDocg @txsthealth

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

Could there be 3 ways to look at obstruction? STAR stages obstruction (FEV₁/FVC). GOLD adds depth with %predicted FEV₁. GLI defines what's normal using LLN. Maybe every STAR has a GOLD lining…and a GLI lens. @TXState_RC @aarc_tweets @respcare #COPD https://t.co/q7a5z5bW1V

Woohoo!!! Congratulations, Sara. You are a rising star that's shining bright. @NBRC_tweets @lonestarcollege @tsrc_org @txsthealth

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

🎉 Huge congrats to Sara Hightower, our Outstanding MSRC Graduate Student! She's excelling in the MSRC & bringing that excellence to her classroom as an Associate Prof of RC @lonestarcollege. We’re proud to celebrate her achievement!🏆@TXState_RC @aarc_tweets @tsrc_org @txst

[TX State Resp Care @TXState_RC]

💬 Couldn’t agree more! This study is a reminder of the value RTs bring to patient care—and why our students are training for the future. MSRC roles = more opportunity to lead and innovate. Proud to be shaping tomorrow’s respiratory leaders! #BSRC #FutureRTs @txsthealth @tsrc_org

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

New study alert! RT-led COPD clinic = ↓ symptoms, ↓ exacerbations, ↓ hospitalizations. The research data support what we know: RTs impact lives. Just the beginning—APRTs are the next level. Let’s keep advancing. @tsrc_org @TXState_RC @aarc_tweets @txst https://t.co/S2G6ML6Y3Q

[TX State Resp Care @TXState_RC]

Love seeing NICU research in action—and RTs leading the charge! Teamwork, tape checks, and timely extubation...That’s how it’s done. Future RTs: this is the kind of impact you’re training for. 🚼💪 @aarc_tweets @tsrc_org @respcare @abbey_hudgins

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

🛑 Unplanned extubations in the NICU? Not on their watch. SickKids' 7 standards of care—including 2-person procedures, tape checks, and timely extubation—dropped UE rates from 3.46 ➡️ 0.14 per 100 vent days. https://t.co/WdlyoSSLPJ

👏 Love seeing research like this in action. nCPAP & infant PFTs! That’s lung science.🫁✅RTs involved in research in neonatal care. Discussed in the MSRC Diagnostics Course! #BSRCproud #FutureRTs #RespiratoryCare #NICU #GetYourMSRC @abbey_hudgins @MarshallDocg @tsrc_org

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

Tiny lungs, big impact! RCT showed 2 extra weeks of CPAP in stable preemies led to bigger alveolar volume & better lung function at 6 months! That's right...they did infant PFTs! 👶💨 #NICU #LungGrowth #RespiratoryCare @TXState_RC @aarc_tweets @tsrc_org @NBRC_tweets @OSRCNW

[COPD Foundation @COPDFoundation]

If you have COPD & have these symptoms talk to your health care provider--it could be bronchiectasis & NTM lung disease: excessive mucus, coughing up blood, chest infections, fatigue/weight loss, fever/night sweats. If breathe, you should know about COPD. https://t.co/QVYzDX2FFa

[CHEST® Journal @journal_CHEST]

What are the differences in the severity grades of #pneumothorax, and how do these affect clinical practice?

[MS in Respiratory Care at Texas State University @MSRC_TexasState]

Fully agree! Nothing like walking into a room, hearing “the patient’s oxygen level is dropping,” and instantly channeling all your RT instincts like a cardiopulmonary superhero. Critical thinking + caffeine + a little chaos = the RT way! @txsthealth @TXState_RC @aarc_tweets

[TX State Resp Care @TXState_RC]

We’re proud to lay the foundation for future RT leaders-and thrilled to see MSRC grads advancing in the profession!📚The pathway is clear: growth, leadership, and lifelong learning in #RespiratoryCare
