RTT 112 is the second course of study in the fundamentals of respiratory care. This course is designed to assist the student in mastering the skills necessary to provide competent, effective, and safe general and non-acute respiratory care in a variety of clinical settings. The course combines classroom (didactic) instruction, laboratory demonstration, experimentation, and practice with clinical instruction and the application of the basic therapeutic modalities employed in contemporary respiratory care.
