Course Descriptions

This course builds on the knowledge and skills gained in Cardiovascular Technology I. Students will learn diagnostic and interventional procedures related to peripheral vascular, neurovascular, congenital and pediatric conditions, and complications and emergencies.

This course develops the student's awareness of basic pharmacological concepts, drug classifications, indications and contraindications, therapeutic effects, side effects, and other considerations related to use of medications. Students will learn dosage calculations.

Students will learn electrocardiography (ECG) electrode placement, ECG measurements and rhythm interpretation for patients experiencing cardiac conditions treated in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Students in this course will demonstrate safety related to the use of radiation during catheterization procedures. Students will learn x-ray tube components, x-ray production, characteristics and physics. Students will learn to position patients, perform quality assurance, produce images and differentiate between digital and flat screen imaging. Consideration will be given to radiation biology and radiation protection.

In part one of this capstone course, students will apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the Cardiovascular Technology program. Students will become certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) before being assigned to various cardiovascular catheterization laboratory opportunities. Students will function as a part of the cardiovascular team under the supervision of a preceptor. Students will participate in experiences Monday through Friday for the duration of the academic term. Shifts may rotate between day, evening, night and on-call shifts.

This course covers procedures to test, troubleshoot and rebuild power shift and other specialized transmissions used on agricultural equipment and industrial powered equipment as related to Case New Holland equipment. This course also includes final drives and related components including removal, repair, installation and adjustment of major units and components.

This course is designed to give students an understanding of medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines used in Case New Holland equipment. Engines being studied include but are not limited to Cummins, Iveco, International Harvester and New Holland. Areas of study include base engine components, intake and exhaust systems, emission control devices, lubrication systems, cooling systems and fuel systems.

This is a foundation course that provides in-depth instruction and practice in identifying the materials and their purposes and properties as they are used during chairside and laboratory procedures. Material manipulation is a critical requirement of the lab component of this course. Laboratory safety measures and infection control are emphasized.

The lecture portion of the course introduces the student to basic terminology for understanding the structures that form the foundation for tooth function, normal anatomy of the oral cavity, and tooth and root morphology. Special topics include survey of dental anomalies and forensic dentistry.
