22 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 300Respiratory Health and Disease3
Prerequisite: BIOL 203 and BIOL 213 and BIOL 214 and BIOL 215 and BIOL 216 and CHEM 107 and MATH 201 and PHIL 380 and PHYS 201 and PSYC 101
Study of various mechanical ventilators and device interfaces (artificial airways and masks), with a major emphasis placed on all aspects of the management of the patient-ventilator system.
Theories, procedures and equipment applicable to the delivery of respiratory therapy to special populations such as home care, sleep, community health, rehabilitation and long-term care.
Introduces the physiologic and pharmacologic basis of cardiopulmonary medications. Preparation, calculation of dosages, mixtures and general principles of pharmacology will be covered followed by an in-depth discussion of bronchoactive drugs, and drug groups related to the cardiopulmonary system such as neuromuscular blocking agents, central nervous system depressants, cardiovascular agents and diuretics.
Provides instruction on all phases of adult critical care inclusive of mechanical ventilation monitoring, support, weaning and liberation from. Additionally, a study of invasive and non-Invasive cardiopulmonary monitoring commonly seen in the ICU.
Advance ventilatory support inclusive of advanced modes (NAVA, APRV, PAV, ASV, etc), high frequency ventilation, extracorporeal CO2 removal and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Study of etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of common pulmonary disease and conditions. Topics include post critical care managements of acute respiratory distress syndrome, obstructive and restrictive pulmonary diseases, neoplastic disease of the lung, disordered breathing, cardiac and cardiovascular disorders, neurologic and neuromuscular disorders and the associated disease management techniques shown to improve quality of life through education of patient (self-management) and of other care providers (care continuity).
RESP 420Cardiopulmonary Physiology and Monitoring3
Study of cardiopulmonary anatomy, physiology and monitoring of functionality. The study includes but not limited to ventilatory mechanics, gas transport, natural and chemical regulation of breathing, circulation, blood flow and pressure, cardiac output and the monitoring of each of these topics.
An analysis of current administrative, legal, regulatory, professional issues and current trends which influence the administration of respiratory therapy.
RESP 424Teaching and Learning Respiratory Therapy3
Principles and practice of teaching and learning in respiratory therapy. Various education roles and strategies of respiratory therapist in academic, community and clinical settings.
RESP 432Respiratory Care Management and Leadership3
Study of management principles and problems as they relate to respiratory care and the management of the department, hospital, service organization, and health care programs will be reviewed.
