What you'll learn

Upon successful completion of this CEU, you will be able to:

  1. Identify and discuss the categories of medications used to treat cardio-pulmonary disorders.
  2. Identify complications and side effects of some of at least three of the most common respiratory medications.
  3. Identify and explain the functions of the various types of equipment utilized for delivery of medications in respiratory care.
  4. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of aerosolized medications, and explain the principles associated with humidification.
  5. Discuss at least one of the clinical practice guidelines for choosing and using equipment to deliver medications.

Course overview

This continuing education course is designed to provide you with an overall review of the pharmacology associated with treating cardio-pulmonary disorders. While the focus is more on pulmonary disorders, the inter-relatedness of the two systems requires some discussion of the medications focused on heart problems. Since the respiratory system cannot be disassociated from cardiac and vascular systems, respiratory care pharmacology necessarily involves a relatively broad scope of drug classes.
