RES 123 - Cardiopulmonary Physiology

• Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory System
• Anatomy and Physiology of the Cardiac System
• Basic operation of a fluid filled system
• Arterial Pressure Monitoring
• Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitoring
• Pharmacologic influences on hemodynamics
• Monitoring patients in shock

• Students are expected to have viewed the online presentations prior to class and come to class prepared with their text.

A grade of “C” or higher is required to continue in the associate degree program.

A 90 - 100
B 80 - 89
C 70 - 79
D 60 - 69
F 0 - 59
