-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this lecture course is a comprehensive review of the major medications used to promote bronchodilation and pulmonary hygiene, control airway inflammation, affect skeletal muscle tone and central nervous system activity, and support the failing cardiovascular system.
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this lecture course is a thorough review of ventilatory support techniques. Emphasis is placed on adult applications; however, some neonatal and pediatric support techniques are covered. Topics include etiology of respiratory failure, physical implications of positive pressure ventilation, methods of providing support, prescribing machine settings and managing the patient-ventilator system, hemodynamic and gas exchange monitoring, weaning techniques, and non-invasive applications.
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
Combined lecture and laboratory course focusing on techniques and procedures used to support the adult patient in respiratory failure. Emphasis is placed on correct set-up and application of procedures and equipment. Topics include intubation and airway care, full and partial ventilatory support modes, patient-ventilator system checks, triggering, flow patterns, expired gas monitoring, and diagnostic and monitoring uses of the ECG.
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this lecture course is on the theoretical application of respiratory care to the pediatric and newborn patient. Topics include development of the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems, patient assessment, intrinsic lung diseases, congenital heart diseases, SIDS and apnea, applied pharmacotherapy, surfactant replacement therapy, and ventilatory support techniques.
-
1.00 Credits
Laboratory course focusing on techniques and procedures used to support the neonatal patient in respiratory failure. Emphasis is placed on correct set-up and application of the procedure and equipment. Topics include nasal CPAP, continuous flow IMV, neonatal intubation and airway care, ventilatory support, PEEP, inspiratory time and mean airway pressure therapy, vital signs, chest assessment, apgar scoring, and resuscitation of the newborn.
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this lecture course is to review the etiology, pathology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatments for common pulmonary diseases. Disease topics include asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, shock, pulmonary embolism, heart failure, smoke inhalation and burns, ARDS, chest trauma, atelectasis, neuromuscular disease, and pneumonia.
-
2.00 Credits
All clinical courses require the student to integrate theory and laboratory training in the patient care setting. The focus of this clinical course is application of basic therapeutic techniques and procedures. Topics include medical records, charting, patient history and physical examination, infection control, patient positioning, vital signs, breath sounds, chest assessment, oxygen therapy, humidity and aerosol therapy, cough techniques, incentive spirometry, and percussion and postural drainage.
-
2.00 Credits
All clinical courses require the student to integrate theory and laboratory training in the patient care setting. The focus of this clinical course is IPPB, manual resuscitation, arterial punctures and venous access, basic pulmonary function testing, pediatric respiratory care, and an introduction to adult critical care.
-
2.00 Credits
The focus of this lecture course is to train the student in the benefits and use of therapist-driven protocols. Topics include assessment skills and processing, SOAP charting, need for follow-up or reassessment, commonly used treatment protocols and diseases frequently treated with protocols. A case management format is used to simulate the clinical environment.
-
3.00 Credits
The focus of this course is to provide a statistics course specifically for health science majors using techniques and data structures relevant to clinical investigations. General topics include choosing correct procedures and using statistics to understand clinical data. Specific topics include but are not limited to; study design, central tendency and variability, probability, repeated measures analysis of variance, data association and prediction, and evaluating diagnostic procedures.
