PSGT 100Applied Pharmacology1
This course is designed to familiarize the student with medications commonly used by patients requiring neurodiagnosis studies. Topics will include patient assessment of need, indications, contraindications, actions, side effects and hazards for each medication discussed. The student will also identify age-appropriate dosing and routes of administration for each drug and its potential effect on polysomnography or encephalography testing.

Term Total: 12 Respiratory Care, A.A.S. Associate in Applied Science HEGIS #5215 Chairperson: Patricia G. Hyland 400 Jordan Rd., Suite B (second floor), (518) 629-7454 Respiratory Care is an allied health specialty employed with medical direction in the treatment, management, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory Care practitioners are involved with patients of all ages, from the premature infant to the geriatric patient with a variety of lung and heart problems and diseases. The job responsibilities consist of diagnosis, treatment, evaluation, and rehabilitation of a respiratory patient under direct supervision of a physician. This program is established as a consortium with Albany Medical Center. The Hudson Valley Community College Respiratory Care program, CoARC program number 200138, an A.A.S. degree program offered at the Troy, NY campus, is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (www.coarc.com).
