16 courses with the subject RSP, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
RSP 101Fundamentals of Respiratory Care1
Introduction to the Respiratory Care Program and the profession of respiratory care. Instruction in cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, therapeutic modalities, ethical decision making and introduction to respiratory diseases. (4 hours of lecture per week)
Presents an in-depth exploration of the physiological mechanisms underlying oxygen and carbon dioxide transport in the human body. Students will examine the principles of gas exchange, the role of hemoglobin, and the factors influencing respiratory function. Through case studies, students will learn how to identify and recommend the treatment of
The clinical correlation to Courses RSP101 and RSP131 . Students spend 8 hours per week in the hospital learning to apply the principles introduced in the didactic and laboratory settings. (120 hours of clinical per semester)
The clinical correlation to courses RSP102 and RSP132 . Students spend 8 hours per week in the hospital learning to apply the principles taught in the didactic and laboratory settings. (120 hours of clinical per semester)
Principles of physiology as related to structure and function of the lung and tracheobronchial tree, ventilation and diffusion of gases, blood flow and metabolism, air to blood relationships, mechanics of breathing, and control of ventilation will be explored.
Presentation of general principles of pharmacology and action of major drug groups, inhaled and systemic, as prescribed for respiratory dysfunction, in the acutely and chronically diseased patient. Anatomy of the respiratory and central nervous systems will be discussed as they relate to drug action.
