RESP 2310 - Respiratory Care Equipment & Procedures III

Academic Division:

Health Sciences

Academic Discipline:

Respiratory Care

Assistant Dean: Leesa Cox, MBA, PTA

2 Credit(s)
This course is a continuation of RESP 1210 and has instruction and laboratory application in adult critical care procedures such as: advance assessment in respiration of oxygen and carbon dioxide, hemodynamic monitoring, high frequency ventilation, and nitric oxide administration. The course transitions the student from the adult critical care experience to the neonatal and pediatric clinical settings focusing on infant and pediatric mechanical ventilation, ventilation techniques, CPAP, Bi-Level ventilation, Nitric oxide therapy, therapeutic procedures, and equipment specific to the neonatal and pediatric setting. The course will cover neonatal and pediatric pathologies such as HMD, BPD, CHD, Asthma, Meconium Aspiration, SIDS, and CF. Semesters available: Day - Su UG
