3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) Must hold CRT credential, current RCP license or be a current second year respiratory care student. VARIABLE 1-4 CREDITS This is an elective course designed to assist the Certified Respiratory Care Technician who has been out of school for an extended period of time, or practicing in a specialty area in making the transition into the Respiratory Care Therapist program. This course may also be used as a remediation course for Respiratory Care Therapist students with significant areas of weakness identified during assessment testing or clinical practice. This course is designed to utilize comprehensive assessment of an individual's current knowledge and skills to develop an individual plan of study for remediation. The student will be provided with a specific plan of objectives and skills to be mastered during the course and the necessary curriculum units.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) RC 1124, RC 1142, RC 1253, RC 1312 4 CREDITS This course introduces topics related to the delivery of respiratory care and patient management in the critical care setting. The student will master advance patient monitoring modalities as well as the more complex ventilation modes. The primary topic is overall evaluation and management of the critically ill patient with use of patient care plans and respiratory care protocols. Included in this course are laboratory demonstrations, student practice, peer evaluation and return student demonstration for evaluation. Students will demonstrate minimal proficiency in the laboratory setting on all required procedural skills. Topics include: developing care plans, cardiovascular monitoring and management, fluid and electrolyte monitoring, pleural drainage, x-ray assessment, advanced ventilatory modes and respiratory emergencies.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) RC 1124, RC 1253, RC 1312 2 CREDITS This course is designed for the student to develop knowledge of the advanced diagnostic procedures necessary to perform comprehensive pulmonary function testing in the clinical setting. This includes performance and interpretation of spirometry, lung volumes, diffusion and assisting the physician with performance of bronchoscopy. The student will demonstrate an understanding of these procedures through hands-on lab experiments. The student will also develop a basic understating of the concepts of cardiac and exercise testing as well as a brief overview of polysomnography. The student will be able to relate these testing procedures to the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary disease.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: (R) (W) (M) RC 2212 2 CREDITS The course is the direct clinical application of pulmonary function testing and bronchoscopy assistance taught in RC 2212. Students will attend 8-hour clinical rotations in the hospital pulmonary function laboratory observing and performing comprehensive patient testing. This course will also include additional adult intensive care rotations to promote continued practice and mastery of basic ventilator management skills.
