NBRC-RT: National Board for Respiratory Care: Respiratory Therapist

Description

The NBRC-RT Respiratory Therapist exam from the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) is the Respiratory Therapy Examination used to earn the CRT and RRT credentials. It combines a breadth-of-knowledge section with a depth-of-clinical-judgment section, so candidates need solid respiratory care knowledge and sound patient-care decision-making. Many learners also search for it as NBRCRT.

The NBRC NBRC-RT exam covers three main areas: evaluating patient data (blood gases, pulmonary function tests, chest imaging), managing and troubleshooting respiratory devices with infection control and quality procedures, and starting or adjusting interventions. Those interventions include airway management, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, aerosol medications, and emergency care. Clinical scenarios span adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. The exam suits respiratory therapy students, recent graduates, and practicing therapists preparing for certification.
