Lab

• This is the fourth in a series of four laboratory courses. the goal of the experience is to allow the student to develop skills through lab practice and clinical simulations.
• The skills taught in this lab are vital to your development as a respiratory care practitioner. In this laboratory course, we will cover respiratory care for critically and non-critically ill neonatal and pediatric patients. At the end of this term, you will be familiar with the treatment and use of equipment in caring for the perinatal patient.
• Your competency in the use of ventilators, monitoring equipment, and other modalities will be checked during lab time. Your knowledge of ventilators and procedures will also be assessed by weekly quizzes, oral exams at mid-term and during final exam week. In order to complete the lab course you must demonstrate that you have mastered the skills scheduled for this course. If you miss a lab session, you mist contact the lab instructor to make arrangements to complete the missed work.
• A $40 lab fee is required for CPS 1404. This fee card can be purchased at the Cashier's Office in Richards Hall . Those individuals not handing in a lab card will receive an incomplete for the course. An incomplete will change to an F grade after a year.
