PHYT 605 - Cardio & Pulmonary Sci/Lab

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PHYT - Physical Therapy

Description:

Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Science is a lecture and lab format course that includes an in-depth study of the body’s physiological function during rehabilitation programs for individuals with deficits in the oxygen transport system. The course is designed to provide an expanded exposure to mechanisms that may explain clinical manifestations occurring at rest and during exercise for patients/clients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders and/or related critical illnesses. Students will learn to select and perform examinations pertinent to each patient’s/client’s condition while implementing a contemporary clinical decision making process as outlined in the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, Preferred Physical Therapist Practice Patterns: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary; Chapter 6. Through the clinical decision making process, the student will learn to define a physical therapy diagnosis and prognosis supported by evidence in the literature. The Human Simulation lab will be utilized to reinforce the student’s development of critical thinking skills, as well as auscultation skills. Students will learn to select appropriate interventions and demonstrate sound application of techniques to remediate or manage cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction in an effort to optimize patient/client performance. Prerequisite: HLTS 460, 470/470L, 471/471L, 480, 481, 520, 551, 552; 570/570L, 571/571L, 581, PHYT 502, 504/L, 569.
