RTH 227Integrated Respiratory Therapy Skills II2
Presents intensive correlation of all major respiratory therapy subject areas reflecting the entry-level and advanced practitioner matrices. Emphasizes assessment, implementation, and modification of therapy to patient response.
Successful completion of all curriculum courses offered during the first four semesters of the AAS degree in Respiratory Therapy.
RTH 236Critical Care Monitoring3
Focuses on techniques and theory necessary for the evaluation and treatment of the critical care patient, especially arterial blood gases and hemodynamic measurements. Explores physiologic effects of advanced mechanical ventilation.
Successful completion of all curriculum courses offered during the first four semesters of the AAS degree in Respiratory Therapy.
RTH 290Coordinated Practice in Respiratory Therapy: ACC/NPCC II2
Provides supervised on-the-job training. Introduces the student to respiratory critical care, home care, and diagnostic pulmonary functions. Students rotate through several critical care units (adult, pediatric, and neonatal) and practice and are evaluated on entry-level critical care skills. Introduces students to adult and pediatric home care and helps them learn to perform diagnostic pulmonary functions.
