Laboratory Assessments for Fundamentals of Respiratory Physiology

2 Credits

Introduces and applies essential concepts and methods of respiratory physiology measurements and assessments to graduate students including an understanding of to calibrate instruments, how to measure physiological parameters, how to determine lung volumes, breathing patterns, respiratory gases and apply these measurements to human and animal assessments. Students will learn the types of equipment that are used for respiratory physiological assessments and the application to humans and animals.
