17 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 1112Clinical Practice I2
(s) Orientation to the clinical practice of respiratory care. Integration of classroom and laboratory coursework in: patient assessment, charting, oxygen therapy; aerosol and humidity therapy; delivery of medications to the airways.
(s) Clinical Laboratory Practice – 2 is a continuation of RESP 1211, Clinical Laboratory Practice – 1. Students will be provided hands on practice with peer partners and computer simulation programs to become competent in patient care modalities including: bronchial hygiene therapies, various techniques of hyperinflation and airway management.
Successful advancement from the previous semester. S. (NIT) 6 hours laboratory
RESP 1211Clinical Laboratory Practice – 12
(s) Clinical Laboratory Practice – 1 provides hands on practice with peer partners and computer simulation programs to become competent in basic patient care modalities including: patient assessment, charting, oxygen therapy; aerosol and humidity therapy; delivery of medications to the airways. F. (NIT) 12 hours laboratory
(s) Introduction to Clinical Practice covers the basic respiratory therapy procedures encountered in the student’s first clinical practice. Topics include basic life support, introduction to the clinical affiliate, medical gas therapy, bedside patient assessment and aerosol therapy. Laboratory experience precedes in-hospital care. S. (NIT) 8 hours clinical
(s) Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology studies 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. F. (NIT)
(s) Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology studies common diseases and disorders affecting the Cardiopulmonary system including the etiology, pathophysiology, presentation and treatment. S. (NIT)
(s) Fundamentals of Respiratory Care – 1 introduces the student to the Respiratory Care profession. Topics covered include professional organizations, licensure, terminology, medical gas therapy, equipment cleaning, isolation techniques and basic patient assessment. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture/3 hours laboratory
(s) Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology is a study of the structure and function of the respiratory system, heart and circulatory system, and renal system and how these systems interact. The respiratory system study will include ventilation and oxygen transport. Topics will also include arterial blood gas sampling techniques and interpretation which will be used in patient management decisions. F. (NIT)
(s) Fundamentals of Respiratory Care – 2 is a continuation of RESP 1410, Fundamentals of Respiratory Care – 1. Topics covered in this course include basic Respiratory Care modalities such as hyperinflation and airway clearance therapies and airway management. S. (NIT) 3 hours lecture/3 hours laboratory
(s) Neonatal Laboratory Practice provides hands on practice and computer simulation programs to become competent in neonatal patient care modalities including: oxygen therapies, resuscitation and airway management. NRP procedure guidelines will be taught and practiced. S. (NIT) 3 Hours Laboratory
(s) Clinical Practice – 2 is a continuation of RESP 1220, Introduction to Clinical Practice. Competency is to be gained in airway management therapies, institution of mechanical ventilation; non-invasive monitoring; arterial blood sampling and analysis along with quality assurance techniques. F. (NIT) 16 hours clinical
(s) Neonatal Respiratory Care covers the development and physiology of the fetal and neonatal cardiopulmonary systems including fetal circulation, lung development, the delivery process and changes required for transition to life outside the uterus. Neonatal and pediatric pulmonary disorders will be overviewed and the treatment of these disorders will be explored with an emphasis on respiratory care techniques. S. (NIT)
(s) Mechanical Ventilation discusses the indications for and techniques of mechanical ventilation including initiation and modification of settings. F. (NIT) 3 hours lecture/3 hours laboratory
(s) Cardiopulmonary Diagnostic Testing includes invasive and non-invasive cardiopulmonary testing procedures to include: pulmonary function testing, polysomnography, cardiac and pulmonary exercise testing, hemodynamic monitoring from arterial lines and pulmonary artery catheters, bronchoscopy and chest tube placement. F. (NIT)
(s) Comprehensive Credentialing Preparation will prepare the student to set for and pass the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) Therapist Multiple Choice (TMC) and Clinical Simulation Examinations. S. (NIT)
(s) Clinical Practice – 3 is a continuation of RESP 2341, Clinical Practice – 2. Competency is to be gained in neonatal and pediatric respiratory care, in particular rotations through NICU and PICU. Concludes with individual preceptorship rotations in which the student will gain competency and increase efficiency in all clinical aspects of respiratory care. S. (NIT) 24 hours clinical
(s) Special Topics in Respiratory Care is designed to enhance learning and competency development through study of topics of interest. Content may vary. The course may be repeated with departmental consent. F, S. (NIT)
