3.00 Credits
Medical Instrumentation combines medical instrumentation with practical exercises. Lecture topics include introduction to medical instrumentation, electricity and magnetism, electrical safety and electrical components. The course also is an overview of microprocessor-based equipment, x-ray tubes and generators, darkroom equipment, defibrillators, surgical lasers and devices, intravenous pumps and ventilators. Practical exercises include methodology, data collection, testing and troubleshooting of specified equipment.
-
3.00 Credits
Non-Invasive Instrumentation combines medical instrumentation with practical exercises and is an examination of the fundamentals of the theory of physics found in non-invasive cardiovascular science. The course also introduces concepts essential to the performance and interpretation of echocardiography, exercise physiology, stress testing and Holter monitoring. Topics include: echocardiographic instrumentation; basic quantification calculations; logging and reporting information. Practical exercises consist of non-invasive instrumentation methods and procedures.
-
3.00 Credits
Cardiovascular Physiology II features principles of electrocardiography relating to the electrophysiology of the heart, basic waves, complexes, and 12 lead EKG. This course emphasizes interpretation of basic arrhythmias and provides an overview of fetal circulation and congenital abnormalities.
-
3.00 Credits
Cardiovascular Physiology III emphasizes principles of pharmacology relating to arrhythmia, congenital heart disease, vascular pathophysiology and cardiovascular dynamics.
-
2.00 Credits
Clinical Practicum I is a clinical orientation course demarcating the professional role of the cardiovascular technologist, the patient-technologist relationship, and the interaction between the physical and allied health services.
-
3.00 Credits
Invasive Diagnostic Principles provides knowledge and skills necessary to function as a scrub and/or circulator for patients of all ages. The student will be prepared to assist with invasive procedures such as diagnostic cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, atherectomy, stents and electrophysiology. This course also includes a review of equipment used in the lab such as pacemakers, intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP), the Medrad injection system, Life Pak 12, Pulse Oximeter, Hemoximeter and the Hemochron.
-
3.00 Credits
Invasive Diagnostic Procedures provides knowledge and skills necessary to perform as a computer-monitoring technologist. The student will be prepared to perform tasks such as diagnostic cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, atherectomy, pacemaker insertion, myocardial biopsy, IABP insertion, calculation of ejection fractions and valve study. Aspects of hemodynamics are addressed such as physiological recording and enhancement (DCI, INTEGRIS), zeroing and calibrating equipment, recognition of waveforms and independent operation of the hemodynamic computer to rewind data.
-
3.00 Credits
Vascular Diagnostic Principles provides theoretical and practical skills in basic vascular imaging techniques and covers principles of ultrasound for patient diagnosis and treatment. This course introduces concepts essential to the performance and interpretation of vascular imaging and testing. Laboratory exercises include instrumentation, application, assessment and review.
