RESP 2550 Mechanical Ventilation (4,0,3)(L) RESP 2550 Mechanical Ventilation (4,0,3)(L)Credits: 3 credits Mechanical Ventilation is a form of life support for the critically ill patient. Students are instructed in the fundamentals of mechanical ventilators and ventilatory modes. Ventilator-patient interactions are explored in the context of specific lung conditions and patient situations.
|
RESP 2570 Blood Gas Analysis (4,0,2)(L) RESP 2570 Blood Gas Analysis (4,0,2)(L)Credits: 3 credits This course provides the student with specific information concerning the collection, analysis, clinical interpretation, and clinical applications of blood gases. The student learns the application of invasive and non-invasive technology in the assessment of blood gases.
|
RESP 2680 Pulmonary Function (3,0,1)(L) RESP 2680 Pulmonary Function (3,0,1)(L)Credits: 3 credits Students will explore the importance of pulmonary function (PF) testing, apply the knowledge to interpret pulmonary function data, and perform specific tests according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) criteria. Consistent quality control, safety, and the ability to provide effective coaching is emphasized and applied to each test. Focus will be placed on spirometry, diffusion testing, lung volume testing, airway resistance, and bronchoprovocation testing.

RESP 2630 Perinatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care (4,0,2)(L) RESP 2630 Perinatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care (4,0,2)(L)Credits: 3 credits Students develop the knowledge and skills required to work in a perinatal and pediatric setting. Various topics include pregnancy, delivery and assessment of the newborn; acute care of the 'at risk' newborn; perinatal and pediatric physiology and pathophysiology; and the respiratory care technology used in the monitoring and treatment of neonatal and pediatric disorders. Certification in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) occurs in this course.
|
RESP 2650 Application of Mechanical Ventilation (3,0,2)(L) RESP 2650 Application of Mechanical Ventilation (3,0,2)(L)Credits: 3 credits This course provides an overview of the clinical application of mechanical ventilation. Students will learn how to establish the need for, initiate, maintain and effectively withdraw mechanical ventilation. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to optimize ventilatory care for patients, depending upon subjective and objective patient assessment.
|
RESP 2710 Application of Respiratory Therapy Practice (4,0,3)(L) RESP 2710 Application of Respiratory Therapy Practice (4,0,3)(L)Credits: 3 credits A case-based approach to Respiratory Therapy practice involves the exploration of pertinent clinical studies to facilitate the education of Respiratory Therapy students in preparation for the clinical portion of the 3 or 4 year program. This course will strengthen the student's ability to understand the assessment and treatment of patients in various situations requiring respiratory care services. This course will allow the student to evolve their knowledge and clinical skills via lectures, laboratory exercises and simulations which are designed to enhance critical thinking skills. All content of this course will be based on current health care policies, procedures and evidence-based practice that is supported in research literature.
