Built for Respiratory Therapy Students

Hi, I’m Mackenzie, the respiratory therapist behind RRT Daily. I started creating study tools to help break down the topics respiratory therapy students struggle with most — especially mechanical ventilation. Over time, these guides, worksheets, and flashcards have been refined using feedback from students who use them while studying for exams and preparing for clinicals. This course brings those tools together in one place to help you understand mechanical ventilation in a clear, practical way.
