Welcome to The Canadian Association of Cardio-Pulmonary Technologists.

The Canadian Association of Cardio-Pulmonary Technologists membership is composed of technologists employed in the Heart Catheterization Laboratories and/or Pulmonary Function Laboratories. The Registered Technologist works closely with the physician in order to provide information relevant to the patient’s diagnosis, prognosis, and surgical risk. The Registered Technologist requires specialized skills in order to perform the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used for the investigation and treatment of pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders. He/she must have extensive knowledge of instrumentation and techniques, and furthermore, must be able to elicit active cooperation from the individual patient during these procedures.

The CACPT is committed to maintaining the highest standards possible for all Registered Cardio-Pulmonary Technologists. The CACPT Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and Annual National Registry Examinations are designed to establish and maintain these high professional standards.

Career Opportunities

As a PF technologist you provide diagnostic information to the medical team of doctors and nurses on the health of a patient’s respiratory system. You fulfill an integral role in the diagnosis, treatment and management of the patient’s lung disease. Pulmonary Function Testing requires close interaction with the patient; providing instructions on how to perform the test verbally as well as by demonstration, coaching to ensure the patient provides their best effort.

If you possess the following education criteria: Bachelor of Science Degree in one of the following areas: Physiology, Biology, Kinesiology; Registered Nurse; Major Medical Technologies Registration such as Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT), you are eligible to work in the PF lab.
