Description
The Bachelor of Respiratory Technology (B.RT) is an undergraduate program designed to train healthcare professionals in the assessment, treatment, and care of patients with respiratory disorders.
The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of subjects related to respiratory care, pulmonary physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, and critical care. Common courses include respiratory therapy procedures, mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary diagnostics, and patient assessment.
Students learn various respiratory therapy procedures, including administering oxygen therapy, bronchodilator medications, and managing mechanical ventilation. The program emphasizes hands-on training to develop practical skills in patient care.
Understanding pulmonary physiology is a fundamental aspect of the program. Students study how the respiratory system functions under normal and pathological conditions.
B.RT programs keep students updated on technological advancements in respiratory care, including the use of advanced ventilators, monitoring equipment, and telemedicine in respiratory therapy.
B.RT programs aim to produce skilled and compassionate professionals who play a crucial role in improving the respiratory health and quality of life for individuals with breathing disorders.
