Metropolitan Community College COURSE OUTLINE FORM (Page 1 of 4) Course Title: Pharmacology for Respiratory Care Course Prefix & No.: LEC: LAB: RESP 1042 3.0 0.0 Credit Hours: 3.0 COURSE DESCRIPTION: Emphasis in this course is on respiratory care pharmacology. The course includes general principles and administration of medications used to treat respiratory diseases as well as interactions, pharmacologic action and effect, contraindications and side effects. Drug dosage calculations will also be reviewed during this course. COURSE PREREQUISITE (S): RESP 1030 AND RESP 1031 RATIONALE: This course is designed to introduce the student to pharmacologic principles of drug administration related to the role of the respiratory care practitioner. Student will gain knowledge on an array of respiratory medications used in various clinical settings.

AAO Revised 3-13-01 Metropolitan Community College COURSE OUTLINE FORM (Page 2 of 4) TITLE: Pharmacology for Respiratory Care PREFIX/NO: RESP 1042 COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course with 75% proficiency, the student will be able to: 1. Describe general pharmacological principles including the history and development of drugs, pharmokinetics, pharmodynamics, and routes of administration. 2. The student will identify bronchodilator medications; list their mode of action, recognize drug specific indications, and identify contraindications as well as adverse effects. 3. The students will list other medications that are used to treat patients with pulmonary disorders. These medications include anti-infective, therapeutic medical gases, as well as anesthetic and sedative agents. 4. The students will recognize the anatomy and physiology of the airway, neurotransmitter substances, and receptors of the autonomic nervous system. 5. Students will accurately perform drug dosage calculations. TOPICAL UNIT OUTLINE/UNIT OBJECTIVES: Unit 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Explain the history of drug manufacturing and the FDA role in manufacturing of medications. Describe the research and development process for a new drug to become approved by the FDA. Review the various routes of drug administration. List the steps involved with the classification of a drug. Become familiar with official and unofficial publications of drug information resources. Unit II 1. Identify the organization of the central nervous system 2. Differentiate between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. 3. Identify the chemical neuro transmitter substances in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. 4. Differentiate between the Alpha, Beta 1, and Beta 2 receptor sites. 5. Describe the conversion of ATP to 5’AMP and conversion of GTP to 5’GMP Unit III 1. Calculate the proper preparation of a desired solution from drug diluents. 2. Convert dosage designations between concentrations and dilutions and convert each to common units of measure. 3. Differentiate between various systems of measure and apply these to drug dosage calculations. AAO Revised 3-13-01 Metropolitan Community College COURSE OUTLINE FORM (Page 3 of 4) 4. Calculate drug dosages for infants and children based on Young’s, Fried’s, or Clark’s rule. Unit IV 1. Recognize the various methods and routes by which bronchodilator drugs may be administered and the efficacy of each. 2. Assess the indications, contraindications, and onset of action, duration of action, side effects, and precautions associated with medications classified in the following categories: sympathomimetic, parasympatholytic, and xanthines. 3. The students will define inflammation related to the pulmonary system and describe the early and late phase response in asthma. 4. Identify anti-inflammatory medications used in respiratory care. Describe side effects, indications, and precautions associated with inhaled as well as oral anti-inflammatory drugs. 5. Discuss the indications, contraindications, onset of action, and duration of action for a variety of antiasthmatic medications (including, but not limited to Leukotriene modifiers, mast cell stabilizers, and antihistamines). 6. Identify specific drugs used in the management of COPD, Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, and Emphysema. Unit V 1. Students will discuss the composition of the mucus molecule. Further identify bland aerosol concentrations and mucolytic agents used in respiratory care. 2. The student’s will articulate the anatomy of the airway specific to mucus production and secretion as well as the mucocilliary transport system. 3. The students will describe the role of surfactant and its impact on surface tension within the lungs. 4. List various types of surfactant and explain how it is administered. 5. Recognize the classifications, contraindications, and mode of action, side effects, and indications of anti-infective medications to include antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungal medications. 6. Identify the common medical gas therapy used in respiratory care to include oxygen, carbon dioxide, heliox, and nitric oxide. 7. Discuss therapeutic indications, contraindications, hazards, and concentrations for medical gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, heliox, and nitric oxide) as well as the delivery devices used. Unit VI 1. Students in this class will identify the classification of the commonly used medications in the categories of anesthetics, sedative/hypnotic, analgesic, and paralytics. 2. Describe the indications for the use of the medications listed in the class of CNS depressant. 3. Evaluate the role of the Respiratory Therapist in managing patients who are being prescribed CNS depressants.
