RC 419 - Respiratory Care Simulation VIII

1 Credits
This course is designed to provide simulated clinical experiences for learners based on their level of learning in the Respiratory Care program.  Each quarter students will work in the simulation lab practicing tools and techniques on simulated patients.  The course is designed to both prepare students for clinical experience as well as help them integrate theory into practice in a safe environment.  In this quarter Students will integrate prior skills in patient assessment, treatment and data gathering to provide care to more complex patients.   Students will simulate caring for infant and pediatric patients with health problems unique to that population.  Students will use basic to more advanced techniques up to and including mechanical ventilation.
