2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program or consent of instructor. Co-requisite: RT 114 and RT 146. This course provides the student with instruction in specific applications of pertinent principles of mathematics, physics and chemistry relating to the practice of respiratory care. This course assumes that the student has previous educational experience in mathematics and chemistry as required by admission to the respiratory care program.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Respiratory Care Program. This course provides instruction in basic patient care skills with a focus on safety and legal/ethical issues relevant to the respiratory care practitioner.Topics include patient positioning and safety, proper body mechanics, infection control, medical documentation and communication, medication administration, and emergency resuscitation techniques. Student will demonstrate skills in laboratory setting.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisites: RT 112. RT 114, RT 146 Co-requisites: RT 127, RT 144, RT 141. This course is designed to develop clinical assessment skills. Topics include presentations of clinical signs and symptoms associated with common cardiopulmonary disorders.
-
1.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program or consent of instructor. This course provides instruction in the etiology, pathogenesis, and pathophysiology of common respiratory diseases and their clinical, laboratory, radiological and physical manifestations. Simulated or real patient cases are utilized for practice in assessment of data and the application of principles and procedures in management of these diseases. This course is the first of a four-part sequence addressing disease states that require progressively more advanced scenarios. Topics include scenarios that reflect concepts presented in the co-requisite respiratory care courses.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program or consent of instructor. This course studies the normal anatomic and physiologic components of respiration, including the nature and causes of cardiopulmonary disorders. Physiologic functions presented include mechanics of ventilation, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, neuro-regulation of respiration, acid-base balance, and defense mechanisms of the lung. Topics include discussion of common cardiopulmonary disorders requiring medication administration by respiratory therapists, and the indications, contraindications, mechanisms of action and standard dosages of those medications

3 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program or consent of instructor. Patient assessment and therapeutic modalities encountered in the clinical setting is emphasized. Indications, contraindications, and hazards of gas therapy, humidity therapy, aerosol therapy, chest physiotherapy and basic medications delivery are presented. Significance is given to positive pressure breathing and hyperinflation therapy. Presentations include physical principles related to the behavior of gases and various gas laws pertinent to respiratory care practice.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program or consent of instructor. An introductory course designed to orient the student to the respiratory care profession and associated clinical practice facilities. Topics include job requirements, professional credentials and legal/ethical guidelines for the practice of respiratory care. Provides time for hospital-specific training for HIPAA, infection control, blood-borne pathogen, harassment, and general hospital policy and procedure orientation. Assignments include job-shadow rotations through affiliate respiratory care departments.
-
1.00 - 8.00 Credits
1-8 credits Prerequisite: Acceptance into Respiratory Care Program and consent of instructor. This course is designed to assess the clinical skills of candidates for advanced placement in the Respiratory Care program. Students will be observed performing all aspects of clinical respiratory care to determine appropriate placement in the clinical practice courses of the program.
