4.00 Credits
Students are given the knowledge, skills, and attitudes basic to all patient care, with special emphasis on the basic science principles applicable to medical gases, pressure breathing devices, gas exchange, artificial ventilation, and respiration. This course also involves the study and operation of basic respiratory therapy equipment such as cannulae, masks and tents, nebulizers, flowmeters and regulators, oxygen analyzers, and oxygen supply systems.
Prerequisite:
Prerequisite: Matriculation in the RTT Program
Corequisite:
RTT 101, MAT 109
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course gives the student the opportunity for hands-on learning of equipment found in Respiratory Therapy departments of affiliated hospitals. The student observes, operates, disassembles and reassembles equipment until fully competent at setting up, operating, and trouble shooting. Students become familiar with equipment used in respiratory care prior to use in direct patient contact.
Corequisite:
RTT 100, MAT 109
-
4.00 Credits
This continuation of applied science principles is fundamental to Respiratory Therapy. Special emphasis is placed on the theory of airway management, respiratory diseases, introductory pharmacology, ventilators used in IPPB therapy, acid-base chemistry, and a knowledge of emergency care.
Prerequisite:
RTT 100, RTT 101, CHE 118
Corequisite:
RTT 202, BIO 426
-
3.00 Credits
This is a supervised clinical experience in Respiratory Therapy hospital affiliations. Students work with patients utilizing equipment such as oxygen catheters and cannulae, masks, tents, nebulizers, flowmeters and regulators, oxygen analyzers, and oxygen supply systems.
Prerequisite:
RTT 100, RTT 101, CHE 118
Corequisite:
RTT 201, BIO 426
-
6.00 Credits
This course is a 10-week, 40-hour-per-week practicum required of students registered in the Respiratory Therapy curriculum. The Respiratory Therapy Summer Clinical Practicum is a continuation of the clinical training and experience introduced during the second semester of the program (RTT 201 and RTT 202). The schedule is structured to rotate groups in the class through various participating clinical facilities where students will have patient bedside instruction and practice in oxygen therapy, aerosol treatment and ventilation, and bedside intensive care for adults and pediatric patients.
Prerequisite:
RTT 201, RTT 202
-
3.00 Credits
Skills in patient care are further developed and emphasis is placed on continuous ventilation and acid-base chemistry. The physiology of the cardio-pulmonary system, the ethical and legal implications, and responsibilities relating to Respiratory Therapy services are discussed.
Prerequisite:
RTT 210, BIO 426
Corequisite:
RTT 302, RTT 310, RTT 320
-
4.00 Credits
This is a continuation of the supervised hospital Respiratory Therapy clinical experiences dealing with complex patient equipment such as ventilators, resuscitators, respirators, use of blood-gas analyzers, and aerosol apparatus.
Prerequisite:
RTT 210, BIO 426
Corequisite:
RTT 301, RTT 310, RTT 320
-
2.00 Credits
This course exceeds the scope of Anatomy and Physiology I & II, and stresses physiological properties of the heart, blood vessels and lungs, particularly as they are interrelated and as they contribute to preserving the integrity of the human nervous system. The material is taught in a clinicallyoriented manner to reinforce those aspects of cardio-pulmonary physiology most relevant to the care of patients.
Prerequisite:
RTT 202, BIO 426 or departmental approval
Corequisite:
RTT 301, RTT 302, RTT 320
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the most common tests of pulmonary function in adults and children. Students will be required to perform these tests and interpret their significance.
Prerequisite:
RTT 202, BIO 426, MAT 109 departmental approval
Corequisite:
RTT 301, RTT 302, RTT 310
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a knowledge of the various methods of sterilization, diseases and problems resulting in respiratory failure, cardio-pulmonary function testing and diagnosis, pediatric respiratory care, percussive therapy and postural drainage, and administrative responsibilities of the therapist. Preparation is included for the Credentialing Examinations.
Prerequisite:
RTT 301, RTT 302, RTT 310, RTT 320
Corequisite:
RTT 403, RTT 410
