| (1 cr.) The second of a three-semester sequence, this
course focuses on the principles of patient
monitoring systems. Students spend time in the lab
setting up and running experiments, collecting
data and building PowerPoint presentations to
deliver in class. They explore the system response
and how it affects the displayed waveforms and
waveform parameters. They study basic
measurements; ECG, noninvasive and invasive blood
pressure measurements, pulse oximetry,
capnography, airway pressures and flows, thermal
dilution cardiac output, Doppler velocity
measurement, gas emboli from entraining air into
the cardiovascular system. Labs are constructed to
complement material covered in the course ANE 554
Patient Monitoring.
