-
2.00 Credits
A basic orientation to patient assessment techniques used to obtain a patient medical history and physical examination. Discussion of pulmonary disease integrates assessment information with laboratory and radiographic data.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to theory and clinical application of basic cardiopulmonary diagnostic studies, including simple spirometry, arterial and mixed venous blood gases, and electrocardiograms. Course emphasizes critical thinking skills in the application of diagnostic findings and utilizes case studies, class discussions, and extensive study guides.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and clinical application of basic therapies. Course includes indications, complications, hazards, equipment needed, side effects, and assessment for medical gases, humidity, aerosols, airway clearance, hyperinflation therapy, and pharmacologic agents. Course emphasizes patient assessment and critical thinking skills. Concurrent enrollment in REST 2140.
Corequisite:
REST 2140
-
3.00 Credits
Theory and clinical applications of airway management and artificial ventilation, including IPPB and introduction to modes of mechanical ventilation. Also includes the theory of invasive and non invasive monitoring technology, and equipment decontamination.
-
3.00 Credits
Course provides a basic understanding of essentials for mechanical ventilation. Includes determining the need for ventilatory support, the associated physiology and how ventilatory support is initiated, maintained, monitored, and discontinued.
-
1.00 Credits
Course is a comprehensive review intended to prepare the student for the entry-level certification/licensure examination. The material covered is based on the examination matrix provided by the National Board for Respiratory Care (N.B.R.C.).
-
1.00 Credits
Introduction to polysomnography as a profession. Course includes an overview of the polysomnogram, sleep disorders as they affect the general population, typical employment in the field, and employment opportunities. Also includes an introduction to the professional organization of sleep and requirements to become a registered polysomnographic technologist (R.PSG.T). Students taking REST 3500 are required to write a 6-10 page paper outlining the assessment of sleep disorders or neurodiagnostics. Students taking REST 2500 cannot take REST 3500 for credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the neurologic, cardiac, and respiratory systems during sleep. Basic anatomy and physiology of wake-sleep cycles are studied, with emphasis on changes that occur during varying stages of sleep and during common sleep disorders. Introduction to the EEG, EOG, EKG, EMG, and other polysomnography data recorders. Students taking REST 3501 are required to write a 6-10 page paper outlining physiologic components affecting quality of sleep. Students taking REST 2501 cannot take REST 3501 for credit.
-
2.00 Credits
Course provides an overview of the history of sleep medicine, normal sleep physiology, effects of the sleep-wake stage, sleep disorders and abnormal sleep physiology, and an introduction to polysomnography (including patient interaction, sensor and lead placements, and instrumentation). Course also introduces the fundamentals of therapeutic interventions utilized to treat sleep disorders. Students taking REST 3502 are required to r a 6-10 page paper outlining the implications for assisted ventilation to sleep disorders. Students taking REST 2502 cannot take REST 3502 for credit.
-
2.00 Credits
Course provides study of equipment, instrumentation, and recording devices utilized in polysomnography. Includes EEG waves, signal pathway and derivation of waves, impedance, sensitivity, time constants, amplifiers, filters, calibration, electrodes, artifacts (both equipment and patient-generated), computer basics, and monitoring devices. Students taking REST 3503 are required to write a 6-10 page paper outlining specific instrumentation in polysomnography assessing sleep disorders. Students taking REST 2503 cannot take REST 3503 for credit.
