  • PHYT 605: Cardio & Pulmonary Sci/Lab

    3.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Science is a lecture and lab format course that includes an in-depth study of the body’s physiological function during rehabilitation programs for individuals with deficits in the oxygen transport system. The course is designed to provide an expanded exposure to mechanisms that may explain clinical manifestations occurring at rest and during exercise for patients/clients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders and/or related critical illnesses. Students will learn to select and perform examinations pertinent to each patient’s/client’s condition while implementing a contemporary clinical decision making process as outlined in the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, Preferred Physical Therapist Practice Patterns: Cardiovascular and Pulmonary; Chapter 6. Through the clinical decision making process, the student will learn to define a physical therapy diagnosis and prognosis supported by evidence in the literature. The Human Simulation lab will be utilized to reinforce the student’s development of critical thinking skills, as well as auscultation skills. Students will learn to select appropriate interventions and demonstrate sound application of techniques to remediate or manage cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction in an effort to optimize patient/client performance. Prerequisite: HLTS 460, 470/470L, 471/471L, 480, 481, 520, 551, 552; 570/570L, 571/571L, 581, PHYT 502, 504/L, 569.

  • PHYT 630: Grand Rounds

    0.00 Credits
    Duquesne University

    In this course, 10-11 disparate cases will be presented. In each case, the elements of patient/client management will be discussed by a presenter who is an expert in the treatment of these kinds of cases. Students will be able to listen to a seasoned veteran talk about the elements of patient/client management as they apply to a particular type of patient/client. On the subsequent week, a group of students will be responsible for adding/altering an examination finding from the report they heard the previous week. They will then explain the impact of that change on the elements of patient/client management. In this way, the students will be able to mimic the thought processes used by the expert as they try to manage a novel examination finding of their own creation.
