24 courses with the subject RETH, 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.
BIOL 212 . Delivers information within the cognitive and affective domains necessary for the respiratory therapist when performing entry-level therapies. The laboratory component ensures integration of psychomotor competency with the equipment and procedures introduced in the classroom.
BIOL 212 . A concentrated study of the anatomy and physiology of the renal, cardiac, and pulmonary systems. Emphasis is placed on the functional integration of these systems.
RETH 305Integrated Sciences for Respiratory Therapy3
BIOL 212 . An integration of the major areas of scientific study with application to the theory and procedures in the field of Respiratory Therapy. The course focuses on applied mathematics, organic, inorganic, and physiologic chemistry, and medical physics with emphasis on physical principles of gasses.
BIOL 212 . An introduction to Respiratory Therapy and patient care in the clinical setting. Initially, the students will observe patient care. The level of clinical participation will increase after demonstration of laboratory procedure competency. REAL Area L
BIOL 212 . Provides essential components of patient assessment including patient interview, physical assessment, physiological monitoring, and basic diagnostic testing. Patient behaviors, religious or atheistic beliefs, cultures, and social institutions will be evaluated and analyzed within the context of the healthcare setting. REAL Area A
RETH 304 . Focuses on a comprehensive review of all drugs that are either administered by respiratory therapists or play an integral part in the management of patients. Emphasis is placed on the clinical application of pharmacological agents, mechanism of action, and their therapeutic and adverse effects.
RETH 302 and RETH 308C . A continuation of the practices in Respiratory Therapy. It delivers information within the cognitive and affective domains necessary for the respiratory therapist when performing intermediate-level therapies. The laboratory component ensures integration of psychomotor competency with equipment and procedures introduced in the classroom.
RETH 302 and RETH 308C . Provides the student with continuing experiences needed for integration of classroom and laboratory knowledge within the clinical arena. Demonstrated proficiency in the laboratory must be completed prior to performing any task in patient-care settings. This clinical experience provides opportunities for observation and participation within acute care settings predominantly outside of the Intensive Care Units. REAL Area L
RETH 311 . Provides an introduction to mechanical ventilation. Underlying concepts, historical development, classification, and modes specifically related to non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation are examined.
RETH 320 . Focuses on the etiology and pathogenesis of cardiopulmonary diseases. Additional emphasis is placed on the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, complications, and general therapeutic intervention of reviewed diseases.
RETH 309 . Reviews bedside spirometry and progresses to advanced pulmonary function testing (PFT) procedures. Quality assurance requirements are introduced. Interpretation of data related to diagnosis of pulmonary disorders is integrated within the course.
RETH 330 . Focuses on a comprehensive review of all drugs that are either administered by respiratory therapists or play an integral part in the management of patients. Emphasis is placed on the clinical application of pharmacological agents, mechanism of action, and their therapeutic and adverse effects.
RETH 311 and RETH 320 . Focuses on the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnoses, and treatment of cardiopulmonary conditions encountered in the newborn and pediatric patient. It provides information on the developmental stages and assessment of the fetus, newborn, and child, and the implications for respiratory therapy for these age groups. Neonatal and pediatric resuscitation are introduced.
RETH 318C and RETH 320 . A continuation of RETH 320 . The student is provided with an in-depth discussion of the initiation, management, and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation within traditional and nontraditional settings.
RETH 440Current Trends within the Respiratory Therapy Profession4
RETH 430 and RETH 448C . Provides strategies for the management of the critically ill patient. Emphasis is placed on the gathering of pertinent information and management of patients with specific disease states.
RETH 430 and RETH 488C . Provides the student with continuing experiences needed for integration of classroom and laboratory knowledge within the critical care clinical arena. In addition to adult critical care clinical experience this course also provides opportunities for observation and participation in specialty rotations including: (1) Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care, (2) Operating Room for airway management, (3) Polysomnography, (4) Pulmonary Function Testing (if not completed in RTH 448). All previous competencies will be maintained. REAL Area L
RETH 480Evidence-Based Practice in Respiratory Care4
RETH 430 and RETH 448C . Provides the student with a focused clinical experience. It allows for individualized exploration of a variety of settings and geographical locations not previously addressed in prior rotations. REAL Area L
RETH 430 . This capstone course prepares students for entry into the profession of Respiratory Therapy. This course also addresses current socioeconomic and political issues, healthcare trends, professionalism, and life-long learning.
RETH 480 . In this capstone course, the student integrates and synthesizes core concepts of respiratory therapy in a management, educational, or research project. Students are supervised by an organization preceptor or faculty member.
