8 courses with the subject RES, 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.
RES 150Respiratory Care I5
This course introduces a respiratory care student to the fundamental practice of respiratory care including an overview of pathophysiology related to the cardiopulmonary system. Emphasis is placed on client assessment, respiratory therapeutics, infection prevention, and incorporating evidence-based practice into plans of care. Students will be introduced to patient assessment including laboratory and radiology studies. Ethics, professionalism and interdisciplinary communication are also introduced. Students demonstrate assessment skills, fundamental therapeutic interventions and procedures in the laboratory and selected settings.
Admission into the Respiratory Care Program, BIO 250 with a grade of “C” or better Semesters Offered: Fall
RES 200Cardiopulmonary Physiologic Processes2
This course focuses on specific concepts of normal cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology. Content includes the process of ventilation, gaseous difussion and transport to the periphery, matching of ventilaiton and perfusion, and acid base balance.
RES 150 and RES 212 with a “C” or better Semesters Offered: Spring
RES 212Pharmacology2
This course introduces students to the study of pharmacological principles related to the treatment of patients with cardiopulmonary disease. The course includes a study of the anatomy and basic function of the central and peripheral nervous, principles of drugs on particular body systems. Inhaled broncho-active aerosols and other agents commonly employed in the care of the cardiopulmonary patient are discussed.
Admission into the Respiratory Care Program, BIO 250 with a “C” or better, MAT 130 Semesters Offered: Fall
RES 227Respiratory Care II7
The course introduces advanced concepts of diagnostic and therapeutic respiratory care modalities including arterial blood gas puncture and analysis, pulmonary function, non-invasive respiratory support, and airway management. Clinical rotations provide students with an introduction to patient care using electronic databases. Guided clinical experiences provide opportunities to deliver care to clients.
CSS 103 , COM 121 , RES 150 , RES 212 with a “C” or better Semesters Offered: Spring
RES 232Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care2
This course prepares students with a theoretical understanding of fetal cardiopulmonary development. Content includes disease states specific to nenatal pediatric patients as well as implementation of physical assessment and adaptation of respiratory care modalities. Application of this knowledge prepares students to enter into the neonatal/pediatric critcal care clinical setting.
RES 227 with a “C” or better Semesters Offered: Summer
RES 237Respiratory Care III3
The course introduces the student to the foundations of mechanical ventilation and respiratory mechanics of the critically ill client. Content includes initiation, maintenance, and discontinuance of ventilatory support, and non-invasive and invasive cardiopulmonary monitoring. Students demonstrate assessment skills, fundamental therapeutic interventions and procedures in the laboratory and selected settings.
RES 227 with a “C” or better, BIO 255 , PSY 130 , MAT 130 Semesters Offered: Summer
RES 255Respiratory Care IV9
This course applies basic and complex principles in the care of critically ill clients. Topics include diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the holistic management of clients across the lifespan. Students will apply quality control and safety measures to practice. Guided clinical experiences provide opportunities to deliver care to clients and families.
RES 232 , RES 237 with a “C” or better Semesters Offered: Fall
RES 265Respiratory Care V9
The course content applies prior knowledge and skills learned throughout the respiratory care curriculum. Students prepare for the transitional role of graduate to a professional respiratory therapist. Students apply theory and safe clinical practice to guide the prioritization of care using clinical judgment which integrates evidence-based concepts, and leadership principles. Health care delivery trends are examined. Students will be required to attend a national review seminar. This course is designed to allow the student to practice using computer assisted clinical simulation software as well as allow for a general program review in preparation for credentialing examinations. Emphasis is placed on development of critical thinking skills, specific to the discipline, and development of computer literacy.
