2.00 Credits
Basic pharmacologic principles, classification of drugs, the effects, side-effects, and hazards of the medications used in cardiopulmonary medicine. Prerequisite: Admission to program; must hold a certificate or degree from an allied health program, or waiver from program director and Reading Proficiency.
-
2.00 Credits
Theory and application of Henderson-Hasselbach Equation, oxygen dissociation curve, oxygen uptake, transport, and consumption, oxygen and carbon exchange, renal physiology, and arterial and venous gas tensions. Clinical application of obtaining arterial samples, and interpretation of results. Prerequisite: Admission to program; must hold a certificate or degree from an allied health program or waiver from program director and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a presentation on pediatric and neonatal respiratory care to include; embryonic development of the cardiopulmonary system, cardiopulmonary malformations, and lung disease. The course will also cove the technical aspects of assessment, equipment, and maintenance of pediatric neonatal respiratory care devices, including mechanical ventilator systems. A two-hour per week laboratory session will enable the learner to observe and demonstrate the skills essential to pediatric and neonatal respiratory care. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: RTH:128 and RTH:140 and BIO:208 and Reading Proficiency.
-
1.00 Credits
Application of respiratory care principles in the hospital setting. Additional hours required. Prerequisite: RTH:120 and RTH:121 and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of respiratory care principles in the hospital. Additional hours required. Prerequisite: RTH:126, RTH:128 and RTH:140 and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
The etiology, pathology, symptomology, and treatment of various lung diseases, to include: C.O.P.D., asthma, restrictive lung disorders, infectious lung diseases, occupational lung diseases, pulmonary neoplasms, and pulmonary manifestations of other disease states. Prerequisite: Admission to the program; must hold certificate or degree from an allied health program or waiver from program director and Reading Proficiency.
-
2.00 Credits
The theory and clinical aspects of invasive and noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring to include: anatomy and physiology of the heart and vascular systems, equipment, procedures, and interpretation of results, the theory, application, and interpretation of basic electrocardiography. Prerequisite: RTH:126 or waiver from program director and Reading Proficiency.
-
2.00 Credits
A detailed discussion of the normal physiologic principles utilized by the cardiopulmonary system, to include: neurogenesis of breathing, reflexes governing respiration, properties of elastance, resistance, compliance, and conductance, the physiologic properties of the pulmonary and systemic vascular systems. Prerequisite: Admission to program; must hold a certificate or degree from an allied health program or waiver by program director and Reading Proficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will cover the clinical applications of mechanical ventilation, to include; ventilator commitment, discontinuance and weaning techniques, the maintenance of a patient on a mechanical ventilator. The hazards and side effects of positive and negative pressure mechanical ventilation, and the management of chronic ventilator-dependent patients is also covered. Recent development in mechanical ventilation such as inverse-ratio ventilation, APRV, and the interpretation of waveforms graphics will be covered. Demonstrations in the patient simulator laboratory are mandatory. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: RTH:126 and RTH:128 and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
The theory application and equipment for the purpose of diagnosing respiratory pathologies through the measurement of lung gas volumes, capacities, and flows. Includes evaluation through stress (exercise) testing and pulmonary rehabilitation. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: RTH:220 and RTH:222 and Reading Proficiency.
