33 courses with the subject RTH, 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.

The techniques and procedures used in pulmonary function studies is also included. Basic cardiac life support will be taught according to the standards of the American Heart Association.
This course allows the student to integrate the various types of therapy which were studied previously in the classroom and clinic. The student will have an opportunity to do independent research in Respiratory Care.
An introduction to the theories and techniques of continuous ventilation. Topics include the maintenance of artificial airways including suctioning, indications, and physiological considerations involved in the care of ventilator patients. Ap- propriate equipment selection, techniques, and physiologic effects of mode selec- tion, PEEP, expiratory resistance, inspiratory hold and high frequency ventilation will be emphasized. 0102
This course provides an introduction to the medications administered by respira- tory care practitioners. Emphasis is placed on the techniques to be observed that will assure safe administration of these agents. A concise overview of drugs relating to respiratory care is also provided.
Pathological processes which affect the body are discussed with special emphasis on those which affect the respiratory and cardiovascular system.
An introduction to pediatric and neonatal anatomy, physiology, and disease processes. Ventilator care and management will be stressed along with different modes of therapy used in pediatrics. 170
This course is an in-depth study of the mechanisms and hazards of mechanical ventilation. Modifications of therapy according to physiological parameters dis- ease states are stressed.
This course will provide an in-depth study of the physiology of the cardio-respira- tory system with emphasis on hemodynamic principles. Nutrition, fluid balance, renal physiology and concepts of advanced cardiac life support are presented. Special diagnostic testing and procedures are also discussed.
An in-depth study of neonatal and pediatric physiology, mechanical ventilation, disease processes, evaluation and care of the pediatric patient is presented.
Mechanics and interpretation of pulmonary function will include body plethys- mography, planimetry and bedside screening. Diffusion study techniques, iso- flows and Vmax 50 are discussed. Topics also included are blood gas quality control and equipment for testing.
An in-depth study of the assessment of the chronically ill patient and home environment including nutrition, physical therapy and exercise testing. Patient teaching will be stressed in areas of psychological support, exercise protocol and disinfection of equipment in the home environment. This course is designed to enable the practitioner to structure a discharge plan geared to the individual client.
A study in planning, organizing, directing, and controlling a respiratory care/car- diopulmonary department. Record keeping, charting, and personnel manage- ment will be covered. The student may undertake actual management respon- sibilities during the course.
This course will provide the student with an opportunity to apply the techniques of aerosol, humidity, and medical gas therapy in a clinical situation with proper supervision. Chest x-ray interpretation is introduced.
This course will provide the students an opportunity to apply the techniques of IPPB, chest physiotherapy, pulmonary function studies, and chest x-ray and arterial blood gas analysis in a clinical situation with proper supervision. 0102
This course provides the student an opportunity for an intensive application of respiratory therapy to specific areas of the hospital such as the neonatal intensive care, medical surgical intensive care, respiratory intensive care, cardiac and car- diovascular intensive cares. Physician rounds will also be included. 171
Under supervision, the student will apply and practice the techniques of mechan- ical ventilation and emergency respiratory support measures as required in various hospital settings and demonstrate clinical competence. Emphasis will be in inten- sive care, physician rounds, special procedures and differential diagnostic proce- dures. Skills of respiratory physical assessment and diagnostic interpretation will be emphasized.
This clinical experience is designed to cover the total aspects of respiratory care for the acute and chronically ill adult or neonate. Skills in respiratory physical assessment and diagnostics are redefined. Management skills are surveyed.
This includes the routine care of hospitalized patients such as terminology, charting, vital signs, isolation procedures, and ethical and legal aspects of Respiratory Therapy. An over- view of the profession including historical development, organization, relationships with other hospital departments is included.
This includes a detailed study of the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory and circulatory systems. Emphasis is placed on the mechanics and control of breathing, ventilation-perfusion relationships, and acid-base balance.
This is a course in the administration of medical gases, and aerosol and humidity therapy. Areas which are covered include the manufacture, trans- portation, storage, safety, delivery systems and devices used in the administra- tion of medical gases, aerosols, and humanity. Emphasis is placed on equip- ment function.
This course deals with the techniques for maintaining proper bronchial hygiene including the administration of intermittent positive pressure breathing. chest physical therapy. postural drainage. and methods of physical diagnosis of the chest with emphasis on auscultation. The techniques and procedures used in pulmonary function studies and arterial blood gas analysis are also included.
An introduction to the theories and techniques of continuous ventilation. Topics include the maintenance of artificial airways including suctioning, indications, physiological considerations, care of ventilator patients including PEEP, CPAP. and IMV, and the functional characteristics of various ventilators, emergency car- diopulmonary resuscitation will be taught according to the standards of the American Heart Association.
This course allows the student to integrate the various types of therapy which were studied previously in the classroom and clinic. The student will have an op- portunity to do independent research in an area of Respiratory Therapy. 122
Credit 2 (2-0-0) This course includes the effects, mechanisms of action, routes and methods of ad- ministration, distribution, metabolism, and excretio n of drugs with special em- phasis on those administered by Respiratory Therapy Technicians. RTH 201, SCI 151
Credit 3 (3-0-0) Pathological processes which affect the body are discusse d with special emphasis on those which affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Practicing physicians will lecture on their medical specialty and students will be encouraged to participate in discussion following the lectures.
A course designed to enable the student to become more aware of childhood respiratory diseases and also the crippling respiratory diseases often discovered during the early childhood years. Ventilator care and management will be stress- ed along with different modes of therapy used in pediatrics.
This course will provide the student with an opportunity to apply the techniques of aerosol, humidity and medical gas therapy in a clinical situation with proper supervision.
This course will provide the students an opportunity to apply the techniques of IPPB, chest physical therapy and postural drainage, pulmonary functions studies, and arterial blood gas analysis in a clinical situation with proper supervision.
