-
5.00 Credits
Includes the development, assessment, and implementation of respiratory care plans for the critically ill patient. Most of the student's clinical time will be devoted to the care of adult patients requiring ventilatory support (both acutely and long term). The student will be certified in arterial sampling during the semester. Students will complete a course in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS). The student will develop personal behaviors consistent with professional expectations of the registered respiratory therapist.
Prerequisite:
REST322 OR RTH3222
-
2.00 Credits
Examines cardiopulmonary diseases and disorders necessary to implement therapist-driver protocols and provide appropriate care and disease management to patients. Topics include tuberculosis, pneumonia including fungal pneumonia, immunosuppressed patients, chest wall disease and trauma, neuromuscular diseases, upper airway obstruction disorders, near drowning, and pulmonary vascular diseases.
Prerequisite:
REST325 OR RTH3250
-
2.00 Credits
Examination of cardiopulmonary diseases and disorders necessary to implement therapist-driver protocols and provide appropriate care and disease management to patients. Topics include tuberculosis, pneumonia including fungal pneumonia, immunosuppressed patients, chest wall disease and trauma, neuromuscular diseases, upper airway obstruction disorders, near drowning, and pulmonary vascular diseases.
Prerequisite:
REST325
-
3.00 Credits
Includes examination of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, cardiovascular problems, advanced cardiopulmonary monitoring techniques, special procedures, and the critical care respiratory therapist's role in management.
Prerequisite:
REST312 OR RTH3112
-
5.00 Credits
Includes the assessment, development and implementation of respiratory care plans for the adult critically ill patient including ventilatory support. Clinical rotations include critical assess facility, OR certification in arterial sampling, PFT, sleep lab, pulmonary rehab and disease management. The student will develop knowledge needed to care for patients in the assigned clinical setting. The student will develop personal behaviors consistent with professional expectations of the registered respiratory therapist.
Prerequisite:
REST333 OR RTH3523
-
3.00 Credits
Includes the examination and laboratory practice of advanced mechanical ventilation concepts and techniques. Discussion includes ventilator graphics, extrapulmonary and pulmonary system effects of mechanical ventilation, lung protective techniques, neonatal and pediatric mechanical ventilation, special ventilation techniques and trouble shooting and problem solving during mechanically ventilating a patient. A selection of current ventilators and modes are presented during lab and provide hands on experience in troubleshooting, setup, control function, alarm setting and mode changes.
Prerequisite:
REST321 OR RTH3211
-
3.00 Credits
Includes the examination and laboratory practice of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology relevant to the newborn and pediatric patient. The principles, techniques, and equipment relied upon in providing respiratory care to this age group are identified and demonstrated. Video lectures/readings are posted and assigned to students prior to live class discussion and exploration of content.
Prerequisite:
REST321 OR RTH3211
-
2.00 Credits
Reviews and discusses the methods of scientific research in respiratory care. Course content is an overview of the research process including components of a research paper, developing research questions, framing a PICO question, performing a literature search and a systematic review on a respiratory care topic.
Prerequisite:
REST412 AND REST414
-
5.00 Credits
Integrate and demonstrate competence in several areas including care of critically ill patients, floor therapy, endotracheal intubations, arterial blood gas and pulmonary function labs, and assisting physicians with bronchoscopy. Speciality rotations include neonatal ICU, PICU, and physician rounds. The student will develop behaviors consistent with professional expectations of the registered respiratory therapist.
Prerequisite:
REST414
-
3.00 Credits
Includes the review and discussion of current practices/trends of techniques used in the leadership of the health care environment. Emphasis will be placed upon specific skill sets used by managers of today's workforce.
Prerequisite:
RTH412 AND RTH414
