RTT 225 - Pulmonary Function

Institution:

Luzerne County Community College

Subject:

Respiratory Therapy

Description:

This course is the student’s introductory didactic/laboratory course of study in pulmonary function; principles and skills learned in this course will be applied during the remainder of the course of study. This course is designed to assist the student in understanding and correctly utilizing the concepts and applications of pulmonary function testing. The course combines classroom (didactic) instruction with laboratory demonstration, experimentation, and practice. Both the philosophy of the program and the scope of the content mandate an extensive independent study commitment which relies heavily on assigned text readings, self-instructional material, and audiovisual materials. As with all successive course in the Respiratory Therapy Program, emphasis will be placed upon utilizing classroom knowledge and skills to develop and expand clinical expertise, although actual clinical experience in pulmonary function testing will not be realized until Clinical Practicum II (RTT 232).Prerequisites: RTT 112, RTT 150, BIO 251, PSY 103.
