16 courses with the subject RESP, 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.
RESP 1225*Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology2
Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology exposes the student to the different classes of drugs that affect the cardiopulmonary system. Topics include routes of administration, drug calculations, indications, modes of action, adverse reactions and assessment of effectiveness. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
This course offers a study in common diseases and disorders affecting the cardiopulmonary system including the etiology, pathophysiology, presentation and treatment. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
This course is a supervised clinical application of skills developed in previous RESP courses to include humidity and aerosol therapy, gas administration devices, equipment cleaning and sterilization, airway clearance techniques, pharmacology, arteriotomy and hyperinflation therapy. Supplemented by medical director instruction and required seminars. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
This course introduces the student to the respiratory care profession. Topics covered include professional organizations, licensure, terminology, medical gas therapy, humidity and aerosol therapy, pharmacology, cleaning and sterilization, isolation techniques, and basic patient assessment. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
This course is a continuation of Fundamentals of Respiratory Care I. Topics covered in this course include basic respiratory care modalities such as hyperinflation and airway clearance therapies and suctioning. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
RESP 1430*Arterial Blood Gas Analysis and Diagnostic Procedures4
This course is a study of the heart, lung and renal organ systems. The respiratory system is addressed as it relates to ventilatory mechanics, gas transport and exchange, acid-base physiology, neurological and chemical control of respiration, fluid and electrolyte balance, ventilation and perfusion, pharmacology, and introduction to pulmonary function testing. Interpretation of blood gas values and their application to patient care will be presented. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
This course is introduces the student to topical subjects of the respiratory care patient to include basic healthcare reimbursement, medical ethics, polysomnography, home care, pulmonary function testing, microbiology, cleaning and sterilization, and use of chest tubes during emergency situations. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
Supervised clinical application of skills developed in previous RESP courses to include non-invasive and invasive cardiopulmonary monitoring, neonatal-pediatric respiratory care, diagnostic testing, quality assurance, and the practice of critical care management. Supplemented by medical director instruction and required seminars. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
This course is a study of fetal and neonatal cardiopulmonary systems. Common neonatal and pediatric cardiopulmonary disorders including, the anatomic alterations of the lungs, etiology, clinical manifestations, and physiologic measurement and monitoring devices will be presented. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
RESP 2305*Advanced Modalities in Respiratory Care3
This course is an in-depth study of the physiologic and technologic principles of non-invasive and invasive monitoring, pulmonary diagnostic lab testing, chest radiography, electrocardiogram recognition, nutrition, clinical laboratory studies, and hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring in the intensive care unit. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
This course will study the techniques of mechanical ventilation including initiation and modification of settings. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
RESP 2445*Advanced Concepts of Mechanical Ventilation4
This course is a continuation of RESP 2440 , Mechanical Ventilation, which further introduces the student to patient-ventilator graphics, patient-ventilator management, evidence-based protocols, and pharmacology. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Summer
This course is designed to prepare the student for the National Board for Respiratory Care’s entry level Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination. Successful completion of this course requires obtaining a passing score on a mock Therapist Multiple-Choice examination. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall
This course is a continuation of RESP 2446 , and is designed to prepare the student for the National Board for Respiratory Care’s Clinical Simulation Examination. Successful completion of this course requires passing a mock Therapist Multiple-Choice examination and a mock Clinical Simulation examination. Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Spring
