RESPIRATORY THERAPY Program Director: Georgine Bills Clinical Coordinator: Gary White Medical Director: Gary Goucher, M.D. Location: Marriott Allied Health Building, Rm 309 Telephone Contact: Shauna Jarman 626-7071 Associate Professor: Georgine Bills; Assistant Professor: Gary White; Instructors: Paul Eberle, ValerieThomas, Kent Whitaker Description Respiratory therapy is instrumental in the diagnosis, treatment, management, control and preventive care of patients with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may be found in the newborn nursery, the surgical and medical wards, the emergency room, the outpatient department and the intensive care unit of the hospital. They may be suffering from a variety of acute and chronic conditions that are either life threatening or disabling. While intensive respiratory care is essential, the day-today respiratory care is also important. Respiratory therapy personnel, working from the written orders of a physician, carry out specific therapeutic measures to assist the respiratory distressed patient. Respiratory care practitioners must be competent in such areas as medical gas administration (including oxygen), humidification, aerosols, hyperinflation techniques, bronchopulmonary drainage and exercises, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, pulmonary function studies, blood-gas analysis, and physiological status. The Respiratory Therapy program follows a career-ladder approach from entry level (technician) through a bachelor of science in Health Administrative Services. Students may exit at two years (Entry Level), three years (Therapist Level) or finish a bachelor of science program. Student Services Interdisc.
