4.00 Credits
CPR and basic life support techniques are studied to the level of CPR instructor, as approved by the American Heart Association. Students are introduced to forms of invasive monitoring, and forms of vascular access are studied, including right heart catheterization, arterial line setups and care. The basics of hemodynamic monitoring and interpretation are emphasized. BASIC computer programming associated with hemodynamic monitoring is included as well as an introduction to aseptic techniques and infection control. Labs and tours are integral components of this course. Prerequisite: ICT 114 and NCT 113. (SCC)
-
5.00 Credits
This course is an overview of cardiovascular invasive diagnosis and interventional therapy which includes an introduction to the cardiac catheterization lab through the study of X-ray theory, safety and positioning, angiographic anatomy of the cardiovascular system, pharmacology principles, and invasive cardiac measurements and calculations. Labs and tours are integral components of this course. Prerequisite: ICT 114, 124, NCT 113, 123. (SCC)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an advanced study of normal cardiovascular physiology presented in a series of physician lectures and lab demonstrations with applications in invasive and noninvasive cardiology. Prerequisite: BIOL& 241, 242 (formerly A-P 242, 243). (SCC)
-
11.00 Credits
The first two days of summer quarter are spent in preparation for two weeks of noninvasive clinical experience. Students review ECG, stress, echo and other noninvasive tests. Students then complete noninvasive clinical rotations: one week in a hospital noninvasive department and one week at a clinic. The third and fourth weeks are spent preparing for the invasive clinical. The cardiac catheterization skills necessary to assist with the left heart catheterization and angiography are taught. Four weeks are then divided between invasive clinical rotations in hospital invasive laboratories. This includes in-town cath lab clinical experience (Sacred Heart or Deaconess Medical Centers) and one week of out-of-town cath lab clinical experience at an approved clinical site. Prerequisite: Completion of the first year courses. (SCC)
-
15.00 Credits
This course is an intensive study of the role of the cardiovascular technologist in invasive cardiac catheterization procedures such as right and left heart catheterization, Swan-Ganz, vascular special procedures, coronary angioplasty and laser applications. Basic competencies are developed in hemodynamic calculations, such as quantitative LV volumes, valve arc and pressure waveforms. Additional competencies in emergency life support, cardiac pharmacology and pathology also are presented. Prerequisite: ICT 144. (SCC)
-
15.00 Credits
This course is an intensive study of the role of the cardiac catheterization technologist in advanced invasive procedures such as electrophysiology, pacemaker and implantable defibrillators. Additional procedures studied include pediatric heart catheterization, blood gases, cardiac output and shunt determination. Advanced surgical techniques as related to the cath lab and open heart surgery are presented. Procedures are covered including coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve replacement and pediatric surgery. The surgical nature of this unit is expanded by studying the heart lung machine, cardiac assist devices and the intra-aortic balloon pump. Prerequisite: ICT 214. (SCC)
-
13.00 Credits
Students develop clinical skills by active participation in a cardiac catheterization laboratory. This full-time clinical internship is completed in an affiliated out-of-town hospital and prepares students for the full range of duties expected of the cardiac catheterization technologist. These include cardiac cath labs, special radiologic procedures, pacemakers, coronary angioplasty, computer operation and calculations, and various surgical specialties such as blood gas analysis and intra-aortic balloon pulsation. Prerequisite: ICT 224. (SCC)
-
4.00 Credits
Design drawing is a beginning drawing class that offers design students a strong introduction to drawing skills needed in their profession. The class emphasizes the development of close observation skills and composition as students experience the fundamentals of drawing line, shape, light and reflection, shade and shadow, and perspective as related to interior subjects and formats. Prerequisite: Required minimum reading placement score: COMPASS 80, ASSET 40. Required minimum writing placement score: COMPASS 76, ASSET 40. (SFCC)
-
4.00 Credits
Students learn to effectively communicate ideas through quick sketching visual formats. Instruction includes a wide variety of approaches to sketching techniques, working from simple to complex subject matter including still life's, interiors and the human form. (SFCC)
-
4.00 Credits
Rendering Techniques exposes students to different media and teaches them to accurately represent various subject matter in complex illustrations. The class places heavy emphasis on developing close observation skills, translating observations into a loose rendering style and a bold, creative approach to mixed media rendering styles. Prerequisite: GRDSN 105, INTDS 106 or permission of instructor. (SFCC)
