Course Description
This laboratory course provides hands-on, simulation-based instruction in the Respiratory Therapist's role in managing advanced critical care patients. Emphasis is placed on performing comprehensive assessments and applying evidence-based interventions for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Lab activities include interpreting advanced monitoring data, practicing ventilator management strategies, performing hemodynamic assessments, and applying therapeutic techniques for complex respiratory pathologies. Students actively participate in scenario-based simulations to develop psychomotor proficiency, critical-thinking, and clinical decision-making skills required for high-acuity respiratory care. The course prepares learners to apply advanced respiratory care procedures in accordance with current professional standards and critical care practice guidelines.
