19 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 1500Introduction
to Respiratory Therapy (3CR) (3L) Historical, governmental, and association overview of respiratory therapy. This course will introduce the student to patient assessment concepts as well as common respiratory pathologies and an introduction to respiratory pathologies. This course will introduce the student to respiratory physics. (First yea summer semester.) respiratory therapy program. RESP 1505 -
Therapy I (3CR) (3L) This course will cover Oxygen supply and medical gases, as well as an overview of common respiratory pathologies. (First year fall semester.) 1505.
Lab I (1CR) (4LB) This course will be the laboratory where respiratory skills are practiced, simulated and learned before using them in the clinical rotation. Subjects covered will be patient assessment, oxygen systems and administration, aerosol and humidity therapy, medication delivery, lung expansion therapy and pulmonary hygiene. (First year fall semester.) 1505.
Practicum I (3CR) (12LB) Students will rotate to several clinical sites as well as our clinical simulation center, in order to practice skills training r under direct supervision. These rotations will include patient assessment, oxygen administration, aerosol and humidity therapy, medication delivery and lung expansion therapy. 1505.
Pharmacology (2CR) (2L) This course will cover material on respiratory specific drugs and those drugs that are commonly used in association with respiratory disease. (First year fall semester.) 1505.
Therapy II (3CR) (3L) Course material will cover subjects of respiratory failure, and mechanical ventilation for the adult patient. All phases of mechanical ventilation will be introduced, including initiation, management and weaning. (First year spring semester.) 1515, RESP 1518, RESP 1523.
Lab II (1CR) (4LB) Course material will include mechanical ventilation and patient monitoring, airway management, suctioning, tracheostomy care and EKG's. (First year spring semester.) 1515, RESP 1518, RESP 1523.
Practicum II (4CR) (16LB) Continuation of skills training at our clinical sites and clinical simulation center. Additional skills in airway management and ventilator initiation will be introduced under direct supervision. Case studies will be researched and presented to the class. The student will also participate in critical thinking classes to improve their clinical decision making skills. See program handbook for clinical clock hours vs credit hours description. (First year spring semester.) 1515, RESP 1518, RESP 1523.
Pathophysiology (2CR) (2L) This course will cover common respiratory therapy disease pathologies that require special diagnostic evaluation techniques and treatment modalities. Course subject content will include airway management, EKG's, PFT's, HBO, bronchoscopy, chest tubes and the pathophysiology of the renal system. 1515, RESP 1518, RESP 1505
Specialty Practicum (3CR) (12LB) Continuation of skills training at our clinical sites, an clinical simulation center. During this clinical rotation, students will be exposed to mechanical ventilation in the adult critical care setting.
Therapy III (3CR) (3L) This course will continue in the study of mechanical ventilation with emphasis on advanced modes and management as well as operational overviews of ABG drawing and analysis. Students should have an understanding of some common pathophysiologies associated with critical care. (Second year fall semester.) 281
Lab III (1CR) (4LB) Course material will cover additional mechanical ventilation modalities along with ABG's drawing techniques. Clinical competencies will include newborn and pediatric respiratory care and ventilator management. The students will be required to complete NPR certification. (Second year fall semester.)
d Practicum III (4CR) (16LB) Continuation of skills training at our clinical sites and clinical simulation center, with an emphasis on ICU, critical care and advanced ventilator management. The student will also participate in critical thinking classes to improve their clinical decision making skills. Case studies will be researched and presented. See program handbook for clinical clock hours versus credit hours description. (Second year fall semester.)
Therapy IV (3CR) (3L) Course material will cover the transitioning from student to the respiratory care professional. Students will prepare for the national board exams, with a
Simulations (2CR) (2L) Students will take and pass the NBRC level written and simulation exams. Course work will help towards the success of passing these exams. (Second year spring semester.) 2510, RESP 2545, RESP 2548.
Lab IV (1CR) (4LB) Laboratory skills training for passing the advanced cardiopulmonary life support (ACLS) as well as pediatric advanced life support (PALS) tests. Introduction of advanced respiratory modalities. A research paper assignment involving an aspect of respiratory care. (Second year spring semester.) 1545, RESP 2545, RESP 2548.
Practicum IV (4CR) (16LB) Continuation of skills training at our clinical sites, an clinical simulation center. Students will travel to a Level III nursery for clinical exposure to neonate and pediatric critical care. Emphasis will be on all aspects of ventilator management, the acute respiratory patient and preparation for the CSE portion of the RRT exam. Students will research, present and critique case studies. See program handbook for clinical clock hours vs credit hours description. (Second year spring semester.) 2510, RESP 2545, RESP 2548.
