1.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the principles of pharmacology, the anatomy and physiology, of the autonomic nervous system, and the major classifications of drugs used in relation to the practice of respiratory therapy, including bronchodilators, mucus controlling agents, inhaled corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-asthma drugs, aerosolized anti-infective agents, and anti-microbial agents. Course meets 1 hr lecture. Prerequisite: Admission to the Respiratory Therapy Program.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth study of respiratory physiology and the development, structure and function of the cardiopulmonary system. The physical principles involved in ventilation, control of ventilation and gas transport are also reinforced. Included is an introduction to renal function, acid-base balance, and hemodynamic measurements. Course meets: 2 hours lecture Prerequisite: Anatomy/Physiology 1/Lab (BIO203).

4.00 Credits
This course continues introduces students to acute and critical care, with a particular focus on the critically ill adult patient. Course content includes: understanding of acute and chronic respiratory failure, principles of and physiology associated with mechanical ventilation and its affect on various systems of the body, monitoring the ICU patient, and current techniques for the discontinuation of mechanical ventilatory support. The use of evidence-base approach will be emphasized. Course meets: 4 hours lecture. Prerequisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH102), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH112), Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy II (RTH122). Co-requisites: Modalities of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH201), Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy III (RTH221) and Cardiopulmonary Disease (RTH232).
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to a variety of important topics involved in respiratory care including such areas as neonatal and pediatric care, preventative medicine and the long - term care environment. Nutritional aspects of health and disease will be discussed, along with the scientific basis for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Students will be presented with an overview of the provision of respiratory care in alternative settings such as acute care and home care. Course meets 4 hours lecture. Prerequisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH201), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH211), and Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy III (RTH221). Co-requisites: Modalities of Respiratory Therapy IV (RTH212) and Clinical Practice of Respiratory Therapy IV (RTH222).
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the hands-on maintenance of the natural and artificial airway. Content for the lab course includes the study and application of airway management techniques including the performance of emergency procedures such as endotracheal intubation, suctioning and cuff pressure measuring monitoring. Students will also study the equipment and techniques related to invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, as well as those devices used in the monitoring of these patients. Independent lab study is required. Course meets: 2 hours lecture; 2 hours lab. Prerequisite: Principles of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH102), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH112), Clinical Practice of Respiratory II (RTH122). Corequisites: Modalities of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH201), Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy III (RTH202) and Cardiopulmonary Disease (RTH232).

2.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the hands-on application of pulmonary function techniques. Additional diagnostics monitoring techniques including CT, MRI, PET, and V/Q scans will also be discussed. Students will be the opportunity to work with neonatal and pediatric mechanical ventilation and compare how that differs from conventional adult ventilation. A portion of this course will be dedicated to ACLS and PALS certification. Course meets: 1 hour lecture; 2 hours lab. Prerequisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy 3 (RTH201), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy 3 (RTH211), Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy 3 (RTH221). Co-requisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy 4 (RTH202), Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy 4 (RTH222).
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the hospital critical care environment. Students will perform techniques and procedures related to patient assessment, airway management and mechanical ventilatory support. Students will demonstrate competence in the provision of invasive and non-invasive ventilation, as well as the proper techniques for monitoring the critically ill patient. Course meets: 16 hours clinical practice in selected health care facilities. Prerequisite: Principles of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH102), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy II (RTH112), Clinical Practice of Respiratory II (RTH122). Co-requisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH201), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH211), and Cardiopulmonary Disease (RTH232).
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides additional exposure to the hospital critical care environment. In addition to the adult critical care environment, students will gain a basic understanding of providing respiratory care in specialty areas including neonatal, pediatrics, home care and long-term care. Course meets 16 hours clinical practice in selected health care facilities. Prerequisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH201), Modalities of Respiratory Therapy III (RTH211), and Clinical Practice in Respiratory Therapy III (RTH 221). Co-requisites: Principles of Respiratory Therapy IV (RTH202) and Modalities of Respiratory Therapy IV (RTH212).
-
2.00 Credits
