23 courses with the subject CRCS, 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.
CRCS 1000Introduction to Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences2
Formerly CCS 100) An introductory course which includes respiratory terminology, basic concepts of respiratory diseases, including etiology, pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis, and respiratory care. The course is designed to provide conceptual understanding of major respiratory disease process and basics of respiratory management.
CRCS 2030Pulmonary Function Testing and Evaluation3
A course designed to expose the student to the pulmonary function testing, evaluation, and assessment. It includes spirometry, diffusion studies, flow volume loops, helium dilution, nitrogen washouts, and the instructional sequence necessary to become certified in ABG analysis.
CRCS 2044Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences Clinical II4
This course provides the Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences student with opportunities to practice basic respiratory care procedures. The student will get experience in the clinical setting with emphasis placed on performance of respiratory care procedures and application of equipment. This course will emphasize topics such as aerosol therapy, IS, and IPPB therapy. The student will assume limited patient care responsibilities.
A course designed to present the various classifications of pharmacological agents used in the treatment and management of cardio-respiratory diseases. Course includes safe handling, dispensing, and administration of pharmacological agents. Emphasis is placed upon the effects, indications, and contraindications of respiratory pharmacological agents.
A course which goes beyond general physiology to cover the respiratory system as it relates to ventilatory mechanics, gas transport, gas exchange, acid-base physiology, neurological and chemical control of respiration, fluid and electrolyte balance, ventilation/perfusion relationships, etc.
CRCS 3010and CRCS 3011 - Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences Technology I (3/1)
A course designed to introduce the student to the fundamental principles of respiratory care. This course will include the professional development of respiratory care sciences; the principles, operations and maintenance of compressed gas source and gas administration devices; the use of aerosol and humidity therapy; and basic respiratory mechanics.
CRCS 3016CRCS 3161 - Mechanical Ventilation II and Lab (2/1)
This course presents material on the application of mechanical ventilation with regard to patient diagnosis and changes in condition. Course includes discussions of case studies and patient management involving various modes of mechanical ventilation, presentation of recent advances in mechanical ventilation, and an emphasis on troubleshooting equipment and patient problems.
CRCS 3020and CRCS 3021 - Cardio-Respiratory Care Technology II and Laboratory (3/1)
A study which includes the principles of the operation and usage of various respiratory cae modalities such as aerosol therapy, IPPB, IS, PD&C, manual resuscitators, sterilization techniques and classification of mechanical ventilators. The student will also be instructed in CPR and patient assessment.
CRCS 3024Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences Clinical III24
A 24 hour/week supervised clinical application of patient care skills developed in CRCS 2030 , CRCS 2044 , CRCS 2120 , and CRCS 2320 for 10 weeks. This course provides the student with opportunities to refine procedures and evaluation skills including applied respiratory pharmacology, bedside spirometry, PFT, ABG analysis, and pre-post operative evaluation. IPPB and mechanical ventilation also will be practiced.
An intensive study of critically-ill patient care which includes special procedures, patient monitoring techniques and evaluation, acute and chronic respiratory failure, neuromuscular diseases, and trauma management.
A study of the principles, practices, and techniques utilized in the respiratory care management of the newborn and pediatric patient. Topics will include common pathological conditions associated with such patients.
A 24 hour/week supervised clinical practicum for 10 weeks designed to provide performance competencies in the administration of respiratory care to critically ill patients and pediatric respiratory care.
Objectives, methods, and expected results of pulmonary rehabilitation will be presented and discussed. Patient testing methods, including clinical exercise testing, patient and family education, bronchial hygiene, breathing retraining, physical reconditioning, and home care will be described and discussed.
CRCS 4410Cardio-Respiratory Care Sciences Management Concepts3
This course includes clinical management of patients and clinical simulations. Also, the human dimensions of personnel, financial, and material management, and planning as related to respiratory care services presented and discussed.
An approved directed independent study project. The students will collect clinical data, analyze and write a detailed paper with references from pertinent journals.
