COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course builds upon prior clinical experiences in the Adult Intensive Care Unit and integrates the technical
knowledge used in the hemodynamic monitoring of the adult critical care patient. The course also provides
insight into the structure and importance of a well-defined pulmonary rehabilitation program.
COURSE PREREQUISITES:
RESP 1993
RESP 2100
RATIONALE:
This course uses a variety of learner centered activities, i.e., lecture, group discussion, case study, literature
review and physician lecture. The student will gain an understanding of normal and abnormal cardiac anatomy
and physiology, hemodynamic monitoring, as well as pulmonary rehabilitation.
