RESPi11o:Respiratory Therapy Foundations <br />Credit Hours:10.5 <br />Clock Hours:18o/o/o <br />In this lecture course students learn and review <br />mechanics of the pulmonary system and the <br />relationship between respiration and cardiac function, <br />Students learn to recognize normal and abnormal <br />arterial blood gas results. They learn the principles of <br />gas physics and their application to oxygen, aerosol, <br />and humidity therapies. Students begin the process of <br />professional development and learn self-esteem and <br />motivational skills necessary to become employed, <br />Students learn the conditions that indicate the need for <br />oxygen therapy. They explore the potential hazards <br />associated with oxygen therapy, study the different <br />oxygen delivery devices, and learn how to assemble <br />and test equipment. They practice setting up oxygen, <br />aerosol, and humidity therapies. Students learn to <br />perform patient assessments, including assessing the <br />need for secretion removal and how to perform the <br />appropriate procedures. They are introduced to the <br />various pharmacological agents used in respiratory <br />therapy and their biochemical properties. Students <br />learn the indications for and the potential hazards of <br />hyperinflation and incentive spirometry therapies, <br />Professional development, ethics and critical thinking is <br />introduced. <br />Prerequisites: <br />General Education courses respective to each program <br />must be successfully completed. <br />Co -Requisites: <br />RESP1210 <br />RESP1210: Respiratory Therapy Foundations <br />Applications <br />Credit Hours: 2 <br />Clock Hours: 0/60/0 <br />This lab course allows students the opportunity to build <br />skills related to topics covered in the RESP1110 course <br />in a laboratory setting.
