THE APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION

ANAT&PHY 335

Core concepts in human physiology from cells to organ-systems via online lectures and active learning activities including laboratory experiments. Topics include homeostasis, membrane transport, cellular physiology, regulation of metabolism, and functions of the nervous, endocrine, muscular, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and gastrointestinal system.

NEURODPT 675

Topics include: advanced cardiovascular physiology, advanced respiratory physiology, advanced endocrinology, membrane transport physiology and neurobiology.

ME 477

Apply knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and energy systems laboratory in the design of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems used in commercial buildings as well as other large buildings such as laboratories, healthcare facilities, and education facilities. Understand the engineering challenges in designing and deploying efficient and high-performing mechanical systems that provide building occupants comfort, quality indoor environment, while maintaining occupant safety. Principles of engineering ethics and its application to buildings and their HVAC system.

MEDSC-M 771

Organized around physiological themes, the course includes material related to the cardiovascular system, hematology, nephrology, and pulmonology to present an integrated picture of how these systems function together to maintain homeostasis. In addition, there is significant content from other competency domains such as public health, ethics, evidence-based medicine, patient care/communication and clinical skills.

MEDICINE 985

Perform direct patient care in the ICU with appropriate supervision from residents, fellows, and attendings. Independent and guided evaluation of patient will occur daily; the ability to synthesize, distill and present large amounts of information are a key skill practiced during this course. Furthermore, critical care medicine involves many medical professions; effective inter-professional teamwork is emphasized. Independent reading is expected; didactic conferences are site-specific. Topics commonly addressed in critical care medicine include pulmonary and cardiovascular physiology and pathology, ventilator support, nutritional support, renal failure, fluids and electrolytes in critical illness, and hemodynamic monitoring.
