COURSE DESCRIPTION:
4
This course will further student’s knowledge of artificial airway management and
the implementation of mechanical ventilation. Various modes and types of
ventilation will be discussed. The course will conclude with the process of
weaning or terminating the use of mechanical ventilation support.
The directed practice (clinical) will provide students with the hands-on experience
to patients receiving respiratory therapy. Students will actively perform patient
assessment and therapeutic skills acquired through lab skills evaluations, under
the supervision of staff respiratory therapist at local medical facilities. Students
will observe therapists performing more advanced levels of respiratory therapy.

GRADING:
A = 93 – 100
B = 85 – 92
C = 77 – 84
F = 0 – 76
A final grade of at least 77% is required to pass this course.
Please note that the student must achieve at least a satisfactory in each lab and
clinical evaluation to pass this course. If a student fails to achieve a satisfactory
in lab or clinical practice, regardless of lecture grade, the student will receive a
grade of F for the course.

VIII. COURSE METHODOLOGY:
Students will be required to participate in traditional lectures, role-playing, group
discussion, assignments, interactive proceedings, critical thinking exercises, roleplaying in the human patient simulation lab, written examinations, and clinical
practice. The instructor will demonstrate skills and students will be expected to
return the demonstration. Competency evaluations will be utilized in the lab and
clinical settings.

EVALUATION:
Knowledge is evaluated through performance evaluation of student’s ability to
meet objectives related to clinical component of course; other specific
grading/evaluation requirements as per instructor will be given to the student the
first day of class.
Clinical practice is evaluated by student knowledge and application of that
knowledge in the clinical setting. Students are to demonstrate progress toward
course objectives as evidenced by specific behaviors noted in the clinical
evaluation tool for this course.
