The Respiratory Course covers the most important lung-related issues. The lungs are how we get oxygen, which we need to survive, so we make sure you understand how to assess whether the lungs are working properly or not. We also walk you through the different methods for giving oxygen to a patient and how to make sure it’s enough! We break down some of the most common acute, chronic, and infection-related lung diseases, as well as the most common procedures related to the lungs. With this course, you can breathe easy when caring for your patients!
