-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: None) The course emphasizes and provides reading instruction in vocabulary development through the implementation of word-attack skills, context clues, and the utilization of the dictionary. Various levels and kinds of comprehension are stressed, and techniques are also provided for training in surveying, skimming, and scanning.
-
4.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: ALLI 2503 Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology and acceptance into the program.) This course is designed to integrate the theory and application of physical assessment and diagnostic testing on the adult patient. Topics covered will include charting, cardio-pulmonary assessment, communicating with health care team members, interpretation and administration of EKG's, ABG puncture/line-sampling and interpretation, Chest X-ray interpretation, and Pulmonary Function studies and interpretation. (Only offered in the spring).
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: ALLI 2503 Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology and acceptance into the program. This course is designed to integrate the theory of cardiopulmonary diseases with patient assessment and management. The common pulmonary diseases, patient treatment, use of protocols, and rehabilitation will be covered. (Only offered in the spring).
-
5.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: ALLI 2503 Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology and acceptance into the program.) This course is designed to integrate the theory and application of basic respiratory care procedures and equipment. It will also enable the student to safely and competently administer therapy to patients requiring respiratory care in a professional manner. The information gained in this course will provide a foundation, which is essential for the more advanced levels of respiratory care. Topics covered will include therapeutic gas delivery, humidity and aerosol systems, high and low-flow oxygen systems, O2 analysis, hyperinflation therapies, CPT, artificial airways, and infection control. (Only offered in the spring).
-
2.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: ALLI 2503 Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology and acceptance into the program.) This course is designed to focus attention on the many drugs used in treating respiratory diseases, their pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Classes of drugs covered include bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory, mucolytics/proteolytics, sedatives and diuretics. (Only offered in the fall).
-
2.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: ALLI 2503 and acceptance into the program. Co-requisite: RESP 1335 Equipment and Techniques I) This course provides the necessary exposure to the practice of basic respiratory care for noncritical patients. Students will be evaluated on clinical efficiency, professional conduct, and dress as well as ability to perform basic respiratory care modalities such as CPT, updraft, and basic assessment under the direct supervision of a licensed respiratory care practitioner (LRCP). (Only offered in the spring).
-
3.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: RESP 1224 Basic Assessment and Diagnostics) This course is designed to integrate theory and practice of respiratory care in the neonatal, infant, and pediatric populations. Congenital malformations of the infant and genetic diseases found in the pediatric population will be discussed. Assessment of the infant and pediatric patient will be covered, as well as monitoring and case management for this population. (Only offered in the fall).
-
5.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: RESP 1335 Equipment and Technology I. Co-requisite: RESP 2452 Clinical Practicum II). This course is designed to integrate the theory and application of ventilator management. Topics covered include physiology of mechanical ventilation, ventilator classification, cycling mechanisms, flow pattern and waveforms, indication, initiation, and weaning of mechanical ventilation, effects and complications of mechanical ventilation, patient management and stabilization, PEEP/CPAP, and noninvasive ventilation. (Only offered in the summer).
-
2.00 Credits
(Prerequisite: RESP 1224 Basic Assessment and Diagnostics, RESP 1243 Pulmonary Diseases.) This course is designed to investigate areas where Respiratory Therapists may be employed, other than the hospitals. The respiratory therapist's role in home care, pulmonary function labs, sleep lab, education, discharge planning, smoke cessation and pulmonary rehabilitation will all be investigated. (Only offered in the fall).
-
4.00 Credits
(Pre-requisite: RESP 2345 Equipment and Techniques II; Co-requisite: RESP 2462 Clinical Practicum III.) This course is a continuation of RESP 2345. This course is designed to integrate the theory and application of ventilator management. Topics covered include physiology of mechanical ventilation, ventilator classification, cycling mechanisms, flow pattern and waveforms, indication, initiation, and weaning of mechanical ventilation, effects and complications of mechanical ventilation, patient management and stabilization, PEEP/CPAP, and noninvasive ventilation. (Only offered in the fall).
