RESPIRATORY THERAPY COURSES - REST REST 1540. Survey of Respiratory Therapy (1) F, S This course is designed to introduce allied health and other students to the profession of respiratory therapy. It includes field trips, group discussions, lecture/demonstrations and limited lab activities. Open to all students. REST 1560. Multi-Skilled Health Care Worker (1) This course prepares students from different health care disciplines to understand the hospital environment, patient needs, and perform basic skills of patient care. Topics include the patient's right to privacy, confidentiality, ethical, legal, and cultural issues, documentation, team building, age related concerns, medical terminology, and death and dying. Patient skills include vital signs, oxygen administration, specimen collection, personal care and cleanliness, environmental cleanliness, nutrition and diet, elimination, positioning and ambulating, patient safety and comfort, and OSHA guidelines for healthcare worker safely. REST 2140. Introduction to Basic Therapeutic Modalities Lab (3) F Introductory Laboratory course emphasizing basic patient interaction and assessment skills. Includes infection control, the administration of medical gases, humidity and aerosol, pharmacologic agents, hyperinflation therapy, airway clearance techniques and methods of care, and artificial ventilation. 263 REST 2160. Equipment Management Lab (3) S Laboratory course emphasizing patient assessment skills relating to ventilation techniques and equipment. Includes equipment used by the respiratory care practitioner in initiating, troubleshooting, mom'toring, and weaning from mechanical ventilation. REST 2210. Elementary Cardiopulmonary Anatomy and Physiology (3) F Cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology specifically for the entry-level respiratory care practitioner. Includes physics of respiration, oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, and control of ventilation. REST 2230. Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiology (2) F A synopsis of medical and surgical cardiopulmonary disorders for the entry-level practitioner. Etiology, symptomatology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these disorders are presented. REST 2250. Basic Patient Assessment (2) 5 A basic orientation to patient assessment techniques used to obtain a patient medical history and physical examination. Discussion of pulmonary disease integrates assessment information with laboratory and radiographic data. REST 2270. Application of Cardiopulmonary Diagnostics (4) S Introduction to theory and clinical application of basic cardiopulmonary diagnostic studies, including simple spirometry, arterial and mixed venous blood gases, and electrocardiograms. Course emphasizes critical thinking skills in the application of diagnostic findings and utilizes case studies, class discussions, and extensive study guides. REST 2300. Basic Modalities in Respiratory Care I (3) F Theory and clinical application of basic therapies. Course includes indications, complications, hazards, equipment needed, side effects, and assessment for medical gases, humidity, aerosols, airway clearance, hyperinflation therapy, and pharmacologic agents. Course emphasizes patient assessment and critical thinking skills. Concurrent enrollment in REST 2140. REST 2310. Basic Modalities in Respiratory Care II (3) F Theory and clinical applications of airway management and artificial ventilation, including IPPB and introduction to modes of mechanical ventilation. Also includes the theory of invasive and non invasive monitoring technology, and equipment decontamination. REST 2320. Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation (2) S Course provides a basic understanding of essentials for mechanical ventilation. Includes determining the need for ventilatory support, the associated physiology and how ventilatory support is initiated, maintained, monitored, and discontinued. REST 2330. Entry Level Respiratory Therapy Review (1) S Course is a comprehensive review intended to prepare the student for the entry-level certification/licensure examination. The material covered is based on the examination matrix provided by the National Board for Respiratory Care (N.B.R.C.). REST 2520. Principles of Pharmacology (2) F Introduction to pharmacology, including general principles, autonomic and central nervous system agents, and cardiovascular agents. Also includes drugs used in managing renal, GI tract, endocrine, and infectious or neoplastic diseases and disorders.
