2.00 Credits
This combined lecture-laboratory course provides the foundation for both clinical skills and basic patient assessment skills necessary to basic Respiratory Care practice in a patient care setting. The course introduces the professional standards for medical asepsis, aerosol and oxygen therapy, patient positioning, basic cardiopulmonary assessment, medical ethics, and behavioral problems unique to patients with respiratory illnesses.
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers: cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology in detail, diffusion and transport of cardio-respiratory gases, blood gas, renal& and acid base physiology, ECG and basic hemodynamic analysis, cardiopulmonary& exercise testing, and human gestational development of the cardiopulmonary systems.& The physiologic calculations related to& quantification of cardiopulmonary performance are also emphasized.

2.00 Credits
2 class hour, 1 laboratory hour 2 Credits Prerequisite: RET 1024 This course covers cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology, blood gas analysis, and other hemodynamic calculations required in cardiopulmonary physiology.
-
2.00 Credits
Supervised clinical practice in the on-campus cardiac catheterization laboratory. Areas of concentration in this pre-clinical course are orientation to clinical activities that are performed in the program’s clinical affiliates’ cardiology and cardiovascular technology departments. The cardiovascular technology students will practice in the holding area and in the cardiac catheterization laboratory on campus. The cardiovascular areas of focus include cardiac catheterization, arrhythmias, 12 lead electrocardiography, and radiation safety.

2.00 Credits
This first clinical course consists of supervised clinical practice in both the on-campus cardiopulmonary laboratory and hospital clinical sites. Areas of concentration in this course are the development of bedside respiratory care, clinical skills, and observational opportunities for Respiratory Care diagnostic and interventional procedures. Students will be able to practice in realistic clinical environments in at least 2 local hospitals during this 6 week rotation.
-
4.00 Credits
Bronchial hygiene, lung expansion therapy as well as medical gas, humidity and aerosolization concepts are presented, in concert with advanced respiratory pharmacology. Clinical and laboratory experience affords the student the opportunity to observe and practice basic respiratory procedures and equipment& and clinical critical thinking . The concepts fundamental to Mechanical Ventilation are introduced.
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents an in-depth study of critical care hemodynamic measurements for medical, surgical, and emergency patients. Intra-Aortic balloon pumping, Swan-Ganz monitoring, artificial airways, oxygen delivery devices, cardiovascular pharmacology, and basic ACLS algorithms are also presented.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course the student will learn the assessment of patients for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.& The focus of this course is the differential diagnosis procedures for cardiopulmonary patients. The development of appropriate communication skills with physicians, patients, and other health care providers is emphasized through the preparation and delivery of a complete patient case study.
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, the student will learn the advanced theory and application of techniques for artificial mechanical ventilation, as well as ancillary forms of patient monitoring. The continued development of the application of the various modes of mechanical ventilation and their graphical analysis and& ventilator synchrony are key concepts for the learner.& The laboratory will demonstrate the clinical concepts and applications to specific ventilator modes as well as ventilator types, used& in the Southwest Florida clinical affiliates. The physiological and realistic formats for mechanical ventilation will be consistently contrasted throughout the course.& This& content,& for this course,& comprises the single greatest emphasis on the National Board Exams.
-
3.00 Credits
Respiratory Care students investigate the causes of pulmonary diseases and injuries that impact on the pulmonary system structure and function. This course concentrates upon diagnostic techniques that lead to a better understanding of etiology and pathogenesis of pulmonary disease and response to injury. Critical thinking in response to the diagnostic process and treatment choice is emphasized. Clinical& Simulation Exams are offered each week to reinforce the application of lecture material and prepare the student for NBRC Registry exams.
