RESP 2071 - Laboratory Practice/Therapeutics II

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Respiratory Therapy

Description:

Laboratory portion of RESP 2070. Requires students to master artificial airway management skills including endotracheal intubation and bag-valve-mask ventilation. Also provides practice in blood gas sampling, noninvasive monitoring, basic ventilatory support, basic pulmonary function assessments and bedside spirometry. This course requires a Differential Tuition Rate which is an additional fee of $65 charged per credit hour. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the clinical indications, contraindications, side effects, and goals of the following procedures, and demonstrate mastery of the skills required to initiate, monitor, assess the effectiveness of, and modify these procedures: a. Airway management; oral and nasal intubation of adults and children, and selection of appropriate equipment (including ET tubes, laryngeal masks/tubes, EOA's) b. Extubation c. Tracheostomies d. Manual ventilation e. Blood gas sampling and analysis, including arterial, ,capillary and in-dwelling arterial catheter samples f. Non-invasive monitoring. 2. Discuss and demonstrate the use of direct sampling versus non-invasive monitoring of blood gas data, including placement of transcutaneous and non-invasive probes for monitoring oxygen and carbon dioxide. 3. Describe the process of calibrating and maintaining quality control systems for blood gas analyzers. 4. Demonstrate competency in the use of different methods of artificial ventilation, including listing the indications and contraindications for each of the methods listed below and must also be able to assess the effectiveness of each method, monitor the patient receiving assisted ventilation, and suggest modifications for therapy if appropriate for each of the following: a. Manual ventilation with self-inflating and flow-inflating bags b. CPAP c. Bi-level CPAP. Course fee required. Prerequisite: Admission to the Utah Tech University Respiratory Therapy program. SP
