RC324 — Respiratory Care Therapeutics V
RC 324 - Respiratory Care Therapeutics V RC 324 - Respiratory Care Therapeutics V 3 Credits This is the 2nd course (of 2) in ventilator management in the intensive care units. Advancing assessment skills are emphasized to include patient- ventilator interaction, hemodynamic monitoring, monitoring of gas exchange, oxygenation optimization strategies and ventilator management based on disease process and best practices. Learners will focus on strategically setting ventilator parameters based on disease process and mitigating the secondary and sometimes undesirable effects of mechanical ventilation. Learners will also build on their knowledge of basic modes to integrate more advanced modes and novel methods of mechanical ventilation.
