RSP 200 - Mechanical Ventilation II

Students emphasize the assessment and management of respiratory care patients on invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Students apply techniques and concepts to treat patients with disease states seen in critical care areas. This lecture/lab course will advance student knowledge in mechanical ventilation modes and techniques in relation to patients’ diagnosis and clinical parameters. Students will utilize in-class lab and simulation experiences to develop skills to the application of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
