The student learns charting, patient rounds, equipment modalities, medication administration, and bronchial hygiene therapy. Laboratory [16.00]. Corequisite[s]: RSP-110, RSP-119.
-
3.00 Credits
This course offers the student an opportunity to study the various disease entities and their effect on the cardiopulmonary system. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary disease are presented in this course. Lecture [3.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-119, RSP- 121, RSP-110. Corequisite[s]: RSP-222, RSP-225, RSP-220.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a course of study of the respiratory therapists' role as a member of the critical care team. Students will be introduced to advance management devices utilized to maintain patent airways. Students will learn interpretation of blood gases and sampling techniques. Introductory preparation to conduct therapeutic procedures needed to achieve adequate artificial ventilation with emphasis on non-invasive support and invasive support is part of this course. Students will learn procedures needed to assist the physician. Lecture [3.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-110, RSP-119, RSP-121. Corequisite[s]: RSP-210, RSP-222, RSP-225.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is a study of physiologic mechanisms of the cardiopulmonary system, including a review of the anatomy of the pulmonary and circulating systems; ventilatory physics/mechanics, gas diffusion, physiology of internal and external respiration, oxygen transport, carbon dioxide transport and elimination, ventilation/perfusion relationships; and the neurological control of ventilation. Lecture [2.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-110, RSP-119, RSP- 121. Corequisite[s]: RSP-210, RSP-220, RSP-225.
-
2.00 Credits
This course provides the appropriate setting for the continuation of practicing and refining skills obtained throughout the course of the initial clinical experience. The student is provided the opportunity to administer medication through various types of therapy. They will also perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway care and management, infection control procedures, patient assessments, apply non-invasive ventilation therapy, and evaluate and record pertinent data in the patient's chart. Laboratory [16.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-110, RSP-119, RSP-121. Corequisite[s]: RSP-210, RSP-220, RSP-222.
-
2.00 Credits
This course gives the student an opportunity to develop their clinical skills of airway management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, aerosol therapy, arterial puncture and interpretation, oxygen therapy, hyperinflation therapy, non-invasive ventilation, and patient evaluation. In addition, the student will begin learning basic mechanical ventilation concepts through assessment and monitoring. Students may have exposure to the ICU's during this rotation. Laboratory [40.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-210, RSP-220, RSP- 225.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to develop advanced skills in the management of ventilator patients in adult critical care areas. Students will also receive an introduction to the neonatal/pediatric intensive care units. In addition, rotations through specialty areas are provided. Emphasis is placed on patient evaluation and education, decision-making skills, communication, and critical thinking skills. Laboratory [16.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-226. Corequisite[s]: RSP- 240, RSP-250.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to enable the student to finalize their training in the critical care areas and specialty sites. In addition, students will also rotate through the neonatal and pediatric units. Emphasis is placed on patient evaluation, management strategies, decision-making skills, and critical thinking skills. Laboratory [16.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-231, RSP-240, RSP-250. Corequisite[s]: RSP-241, RSP-260.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides the student with an understanding of logical therapeutic interventions based upon pulmonary and hemodynamic procedures utilized in the collection, analysis, and the interpretation of this data in diagnosis and evaluation of treatment of the patient. Attention is given to fundamental physiological concept because these concepts provide a foundation for discussion of cardiopulmonary pathophysiology and common cardiopulmonary abnormalities that occur in patients. Lecture [3.00], Laboratory [3.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-226. Corequisite[s]: RSP- 231, RSP-250.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive overview of pediatric and neonatal respiratory care. Special considerations of respiratory care practice unique to pediatrics and neonatology are discussed. Topics include pediatric anatomy and physiology, fetal development, clinical assessment, oxygen therapy, airway management, mechanical ventilation, resuscitation, cardiopulmonary pathophysiology and disorders specific to this specialty. Lecture [2.00], Laboratory [2.00].
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite[s]: RSP-231, RSP-240, RSP-250. Corequisite[s]: RSP-235, RSP-260.
