Course Title: Applied Cardiac Care Therapy Technology
Course Code: PCCT221T
Course Description:
The course contains the basics of Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiography, TMT, Halter, Catheterization technique and Cardio Respiratory fitness. Basically how ECG and echocardiography instrument are functioning it is incorporate in this applied cardiac care technology part. Not only the function of different cardio respiratory instruments it also deals with the lead used in the specific instrument, its type, even the waves (in case of ECG) also incorporate here. Similarly in case of Echocardiography, Halter monitoring, Cardiac Catheterization the different types, functioning that is the principal, mode of action also include in this course content.
Course Objective:
Applied
cardiac care therapy technology aims to teach the first steps of cardiac care
technology in a systemic way to the B. Sc students from the paramedic or allied
health science point of view.
The subject applied cardiac care therapy technology deals with how well a heart is functioning and can
monitor heart rate. Cardiac care
technicians measure how well a patient's heart is functioning. Cardiac care
technicians assist physicians during invasive cardiovascular testing, where a
tube is inserted into one of the blood vessels that carry blood into the heart.
Cardiac care technicians monitor patients' heart rates and blood pressure,
looking for any signs of trouble or distress. At the end of the course students
will learn how to interpret ECG, TMT and other cardio pulmonary fitness
technique.
