-
3.00 Credits
This course in reading will work to increase reading rate, reading material in different content areas (textbooks, articles, research), and taking effective notes from reading material.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes an introduction to basic respiratory care procedures including theory and clinical application. Areas that will be covered include oxygen administration, humidification, aerosol therapy and pharmacology, using the American Association of Respiratory Care guidelines and protocols. The course will explore the use and purpose in supportive treatment of the patient with pulmonary problems. Fundamentals of respiratory therapy will be covered including the atmospheric gases, gas laws, gas cylinders, regulating agencies, pressure reducing valves, flow meter, humidifiers, nebulizers and oxygen delivery devices. Applicable principles of physics will be discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides for experience in the clinical setting of hospitals and clinics, including both emergency and general floor care of respiratory procedures. This course will also include an introduction to the practical application of oxygen therapy, gas cylinders, humidity and aerosol therapy, assessment of vital signs and breath sounds, physical assessment of the patient, oxygen equipment and the cleaning and sterilization of equipment.
-
3.00 Credits
Pharmacology is the study of chemicals (drugs) and their interaction with the human body. This course includes indepth study of cardiopulmonary drug classes, their mechanism of action, indications for use, side effects, generic and trade names and their dosages.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Introduction to Respiratory Care Procedures with more advanced respiratory care procedures including theory and clinical applications using the American Association of Respiratory Care guidelines and protocols. This course is designed to teach the student practices and principles of oxygen therapy, IPPB, chest physiotherapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related lifesaving maneuvers, basic ECG interpretation and airway management, including the use of various artificial airways.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of Clinical Applications I with increasing knowledge in the clinical setting and delivery of respiratory care with an increased scope of therapy delivered including oxygen therapy, IPPB, chest physiotherapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and related lifesaving maneuvers and airway management including the use of various artificial airways.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of Clinical Applications II with rotations to start orienting students to the intensive care unit. Emphasis will be placed on the student's ability to aid in the diagnosis, care and management of respiratory care patients.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of respiratory diseases, including signs and symptoms, etiology, pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis for both adult and pediatric patients. Emphasis will be placed on the several major treatment modalities associated with cardiopulmonary disease.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of clinical medicine predicted on the basic sciences of anatomy and physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry. The therapist needs this knowledge to effectively tailor the care to fit the changing needs of the patient by evaluating the body in the disease state; also to understand the anatomy and physiology of the cardiopulmonary system as related to the interpretation of arterial blood gases and gas exchange. With this knowledge the practitioner can tailor the care of the patient's needs for ventilation and oxygenation.
