-
3.00 Credits
Theory and practice of basic respiratory therapy procedures as outlined in the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) entry level examination content outline. Including cardiopulmonary assessment, medical gas administration, oxygen therapy, infection control, equipment maintenance, chest physiotherapy, chest expansion therapy, airway management, bedside pulmonary function testing, arterial puncture, and administering medicated aerosol therapy. Prerequisites: Admission to the respiratory therapy program and concurrent enrollment or completion of the Respiratory Therapy Procedures Laboratory course.
-
3.00 Credits
Students practice entry level respiratory care procedures, using stateof- the-art equipment, in the clinical laboratory under simulated patient situations. The student will address the three difficulty levels of learning, in the laboratory environment (Recall, Application, and Analysis). Prerequisites: Admission to the respiratory therapy program and concurrent enrollment or completion of Resp 107.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of concepts and theory of selected cardiopulmonary diseases, to include: definition, clinical manifestations, etiology, pathologic, radiological and laboratory findings; prevention, prognosis, and treatment. Prerequisite: Admission to the respiratory therapy program and completion of Bio 121.
-
3.00 Credits
Clinical instruction supplemented by clinical SOAP assessments that allow the student to apply the classroom and laboratory respiratory therapy competencies mastered in specific respiratory therapy courses. Prerequisites: Resp 107 & Resp 108.
-
3.00 Credits
Comprehensive overview of the general principles of pharmacology. Focuses on the drugs and drug groups that are either administered by respiratory therapy personnel, or those that play a role in the care of cardiopulmonary patients. Prerequisite: Bio 121 and admission to the respiratory therapy program.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
(Life Support Technology) Emphasis on the technical components of mechanical ventilators, their classification, principles of operation, attachments, and the flow/pressure/volume curves generated by various ventilators, as well as compliance and resistance. An introduction to the management of patients receiving mechanical ventilation will be presented in a laboratory format. Prerequisite: Admission to the respiratory therapy program.
-
3.00 Credits
Theory, application, and equipment for diagnosing respiratory pathologies through the diagnostic concepts used in respiratory therapy. Include techniques utilized for measurement of lung gas volumes, capacities, flows, and cardiopulmonary status during exercise testing. Basic EKG interpretation will be presented. Prerequisite: Admission to the respiratory therapy program.
-
3.00 - 5.00 Credits
Clinical instruction supplemented by clinical SOAP assessments that allow the student to apply the knowledge and respiratory care skills mastered in the Respiratory Care courses: Cardiopulmonary Diagnostics, Introduction to Mechanical Ventilation, and Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory care in the laboratory and clinical setting. The course will emphasize ventilator care, diagnostic procedures, and alternate site care (home care). Prerequisite: Resp 125.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course is a systemic approach to advanced cardiopulmonary patient assessment. Emphasis is on evaluation of the respiratory care plan based upon laboratory data, electrocardiogram interpretation, fluid and electrolyte balance, acid base balance and oxygen transport, pulmonary function testing, exercise testing, interpretation of chest x-rays, bronchoscopy, and hemodynamic monitoring. Prerequisite: Admission to the respiratory therapy program. Graduates of an advanced-level respiratory therapy program may use this course as a review for their national board examinations. Course will consist of four lecture hours and four lab/clinical hours each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Respiratory care of the neonatal and pediatric population beginning with fetal development and continuing through assessments of infants including, gestational age, APGAR scoring, and Silverman scoring. Various heart/lung deficiencies will also be discussed as well as treatment modalities. Prerequisite: Admission to the respiratory therapy program.
