CPSC 4145 - RESPIRATORY CLINICS III

[4 Credits]

This course is the third of five clinical courses during which students develop the clinical skills necessary to become a competent respiratory therapist. In this course, students will gain competence in the respiratory care of pediatric and neonatal patients in critical care units. During clinical rotations students employ neonatal and pediatric monitoring techniques, blood gas sampling and analysis, artificial airway management, mechanical ventilation, and application of skills learned in previous clinical courses. Students also spend time in an adult critical care unit performing skills practiced in CPSC 3395.
