-
2.00 Credits
Presents a brief history of home care patients in relation to respiratory care modalities. Provides an overview of respiratory care roles in the alternative care sites and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Presents an overview of emergency preparedness in relation to disaster management. Provide overview of mass casualty incident response.
-
1.00 Credits
Application of various techniques in advanced cardiopulmonary support during life threatening events. At the end of the course, students will be expected to successfully apply knowledge in a mock adult patient care setting.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides additional supervised experience in selected therapeutic modalities during adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care unit rotations. Also includes exposure to advanced cardiopulmonary diagnostic techniques, application of invasive and non invasive monitoring of the cardiopulmonary system, and quality control. Students will also be exposed to patient care in alternative care sites and specialty areas. Completion of patient care plans and/or written case study will also be performed. Continuing certification in CPR is required.
