BMSC12006 Cardiorespiratory Physiology & Measurement

Course details

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to discuss at an advanced level the structure and function of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and relate physiological function to the most common clinical tests of cardiorespiratory physiology at rest and during exercise; spirometry, electrocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Skill development in spirometer and ECG calibration and best practice measurement will occur through practical exercises. Students will learn to interpret spirometric, ECG and CPET results by distinguishing normal from abnormal features. Distance education (FLEX) students will be required to have access to a computer to make frequent use of internet resources and to attend a residential school on Rockhampton campus to promote development of course learning outcomes.
