-
1.00 Credits
The course will focus on more advanced assessment techniques for the individual with cardiopulmonary disorders. This to include chest x-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging, lung scans, angiography, and the effects and complications of mechanical ventilation. This course will also take a more detailed approach at evaluating airway, breathing, and circulation in the critically ill patient. Case studies will parallel with diseases being taught in Respiratory Disease and concepts being presented in Advanced Procedures II. Contact: 3 hours per week.
-
1.00 Credits
Clinical laboratory studies will be discussed and their relationship to assessment of the patient with cardiopulmonary disease. The student will also learn to recognize the physiologic effects of positive pressure ventilation on various body systems. The S.O.A.P. note will be introduced for assessment of the cardiopulmonary patient. Case studies will be used to incorporate concepts and information for critical thinking. Contact: 3 hours per week.
-
1.00 Credits
The course will focus on basic assessment for the individual with cardiopulmonary disorders. This to include patient-clinician interaction, universal precautions, patient interview, health history, common symptoms of pulmonary disorders, obtaining vital signs and clinical impression, examination of head and neck, lung topography, examination of the thorax, examination of the precordium, examination of the extremities, and physical signs of respiratory disease. Case studies will be utilized to incorporate the critical thinking process. Contact: 3 hours per week.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will focus on preparing students for clinical rotation. There will be an orientation to the various clinical sites, as well as to the Human Patient Simulator. Students will demonstrate charting, communicating with patients, basic assessment, medical gas therapy, aerosol therapy and IPPB. Contact: 12 hours per week. Additional fee.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will require the students to recognize and practice floor therapy procedures introduced in RET1026L. The students will attend 8 hours of clinical rotation each week at various clinical sites, as well as participate in a variety of scenarios using the Human Patient Simulator. Contact: 12 hours per week. Additional fee.
-
2.00 Credits
The course will focus on therapeutic and diagnostics instruments encountered in respiratory care practice. These include: pulse-oximetry, capnography, blood gas machine, cooximeter, ECG interpretation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and non-invasive cardiac output system. Case studies and simulations are utilized within this course to incorporate the critical thinking process. Contact: 2 hours per week.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will cover basic terms and concepts of mechanical ventilation, how ventilators work, how a breath is delivered, establishing the need for mechanical ventilation, selecting the ventilator and the mode, initial ventilator settings, and final considerations in ventilator setup. The course will also begin the process of initial assessment of the mechanically ventilated patient. Case studies will be utilized to incorporate the critical thinking process. Contact: 2 hours per week. Additional fee.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will apply concepts learned in RET 2264 with case studies using simulators, mechanical ventilators and all peripheral equipment. Contact: 3 hours per week. Additional fee.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will cover assessment of the mechanically ventilated patient, ventilator graphics, noninvasive assessment of respiratory function, techniques in patient-ventilator management, improving oxygenation, basic concepts of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, discontinuation of and weaning from mechanical ventilation, long term ventilation, and special techniques in ventilatory support. Case studies will be presented. Contact: 3 hours per week.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will apply concepts learned in RET 2265 with case studies using simulators, mechanical ventilators and all peripheral equipment. Contact: 3 hours per week. Additional fee.
