Respiratory TherapyCLINICAL RESOURCE MANUAL
The intended purpose of this manual is to track the number of times a student has been exposed to a clinical procedure/skill dur-ing their clinical education courses throughout the program.
Competency skills/procedures listed in the manual can be signed by the preceptor each time the student is observing, attempting with guidance, or independently completing. A signature in this book does not indicate the student has PASSED an evaluation for a listed competency. It is the intention that preceptors can utilize this tool to see how much exposure to a skill/competency the student has had, and to use this information to guide the preceptor’s level of expectation for the student. Example: a student who has been exposed to a skill 2 times may not yet be able to perform that skill independently, and may not be ready for a final evalu-ation. A student with multiple exposures to a skill, should be expected to perform with minimal guidance, and may be ready to be tested to to determine if they pass the competency.
The final competencies are passed only when the student is able to perform the procedure independently at the entry to practice level. A preceptor would then sign the CBO Manual.
The list of skills and procedures in this manual link directly to the 2011 Respiratory Therapy National Competency Profile and are deemed to be entry- to- practice by the National Alliance of Respiratory Therapy Regulatory Bodies.
All of the procedures listed herein link to the CBO manual that the student will also bring with them to the clinical fieldwork sites.
The student is not required to perform a skill or procedure a specific number of times to PASS the competency, as we acknowl-edge some procedures take less time to master than others. We also acknowledge that some skills/procedures may not occur very frequently in clinical practice, and therefore exposures would be limited. The preceptor is asked to use their judgment to determine when a student is prepared to have a final evaluation of a skill/procedure, based on the template contained in the CBO manuals.

Clinical Education Courses
There are nine (9) clinical education courses in the BRT program:
Courses:
RESP 1460 Basic Fieldwork I
RESP 2380 Basic Fieldwork 2
RESP 3320 Clinical Education in Pediatric Respiratory Care
RESP 3350 Clinical Education in Pulmonary Diagnostics
RESP 3360 Clinical Education in Anesthesia
RESP 3370 Clinical Education in Community Care
RESP 3410 Clinical Education in Critical Care
RESP 3420 Clinical Education in Neonatal Care
RESP 3430 Clinical Education in General Therapeutics—General Respiratory Care
Clinical Education Courses are evaluated using a variety of methodologies, the grading of which is on a pass/fail basis.
CLINICAL EDUCATION COURSE EVALUATION
In order to successfully complete clinical courses the student must successfully complete each of the course components, which may include and are not limited to:
• competency-basedevaluationtemplatesforevaluationofclinicalskills
• writtentests
• seminars/tutorials
• formativeandsummativecoursewrittenevaluationsusedtoevaluateeffectiveintegrationoftheorywithclinicalpractice
• reflectivewritingandselfassessmentassignments
Specific clinical education course requirements are outlined in the syllabus for each course.
Common to all the BRT program clinical education courses, students must register a pass mark on the final course evaluation, based on satisfactory formative and summative preceptor evaluations.
Clinical Competency Evaluation Templates
Each clinical course utilizes clinical competency evaluation templates which relate to the competencies required to achieve a pass in the relevant course. Students must complete all clinical competency evaluation templates for each clinical education course.
For further details regarding the policies governing this please refer to the BRT Academic Progression/Supplementary Regulations (available in the Respiratory Therapy Student Handbook).
PRECEPTOR EVALUATIONS In all courses, preceptors will complete a formative daily evaluation of the student and a summative final evaluation.
In ALL CLINICAL COURSES, daily evaluation forms are used by all preceptors; a final evaluation form is completed by the clinical site coordinator once the rotation is completed. The final evaluation is shared with the student and signed by the student upon completion of the rotation. All the evaluations are sent back to the University Clinical Coordinator. Any rotation that is longer than 4 weeks will also include a mid-way evaluation form (Adult ICU and Children’s) which will be shared with the student half-way through the rotation. This gives the student time to improve their performance before the final evaluation period. All evaluations need to be signed and dated by the preceptors and the students. Students should be given the feedback necessary to improve performance and areas to work on each day so they can successfully reach their goals.

GENERAL REGULATIONS Reporting Sick When reporting sick on a scheduled clinical experience in any area, the student will be required to phone the respective clinical department prior to commencement of the ‘shift.’ The student will also be expected to notify the Department of Respiratory Therapy at the University in both of the following methods:
• bycallingtheDepartmentalOfficeat204-480-1357(leaveavoicemailmessage)
Dress Code
Thepurposeofthedresscodeistopromoteaneatandprofessionalappearancetopatients,visitorsandstaff,atalltimes. Requirements:
1. All clothing shall be clean, neat and of suitable style to promote a professional appearance.
2. Students are required to wear uniforms in the patient care areas.
3. All students must wear name tags in the clinical areas.
4. O.R. greens are to be worn only in the Anaesthesia rotation and the Maternal-Fetal rotation.
5. Personal hygiene and general appearance shall also comply with the requirements of the clinical site.
Specific Considerations:
Hair:
Hair must be clean and well-groomed and of suitable length according to job activity.
Long hair must be worn up when in contact with patients.
Footwear:
Shoes are to be worn at all times and must conform to safety standards.
Footwear should not produce disruptive noise and should be clean and in good repair.
Footwear with laces must be kept tied.
Jewelry:
Jewelry should be worn in moderation and good taste.
Policies of clinical areas must be adhered to strictly.
Cosmetics:
Perfume should not be worn in patient care areas.
Allstudents,facultyandstaffoftheCollegeofRehabilitationSciencesareaskedtorefrainfromusingstrongsmelling scented products including perfumes, hairsprays, aftershaves, lotions etc. Scented products can trigger or aggravate health problems for some people, such as those with asthma, allergies or other health conditions.
Other cosmetics may be worn in moderation.
Fingernails:
Those in direct contact with patients must maintain short and clean fingernails, no artificial nails.
Violation of this dress code may result in students being required to leave the clinical education site. This decision is atthediscretionoftheYear3Coordinator,ClinicalCourseCoordinator,orClinicalPreceptor.Anyclinicaltimemissedfor this reason must be rescheduled at a time convenient to the program and the clinical site.
Cell Phone Use in the Classroom:
Use of Laptop and Tablet Computers in the Classroom:The College of Rehabilitation Sciences supports the use of technology to enhance learning. This is evidenced by investments made in the updating of classroom technology and provision of wireless Internet access throughout the Bannatyne campus. The popularity and ease of access to laptop computers, tablets, and similar electronic devices has resulted in a desire by many instructors and students to use this tool to support the educational experience.
The Department of Respiratory Therapy supports the use of these electronic devices in the classroom as a means to enhancetheeffectivenessoftheteachingandlearningenvironment,andtomeetevolvingpreferencesforaccessto course materials. Access to any of the electronic devices listed above is not mandatory in the Respiratory Therapy program, however, some classes may involve activities where the instructor encourages the use of electronic devices as an option for undertaking coursework (e.g., searching the internet for information, generating a small group report, etc.).
Use of cell phones and the cellular communications capabilities of other electronic devices in the classroom is not permittedforanyreason(i.e.makingtelephonecallsortexting).Pleaseturncellphonesofforswitchtosilentmodeand disable the cellular functions of other devices when participating in Respiratory Therapy and College of Rehabilitation Sciences classroom activities.
Students may wish to utilize electronic devices to access course notes made available on the University’s online learning platform, UM Learn (previously called Desire2Learn (D2L). This option provides an environmentally sensitive solution to printing paper copies of those notes, and can result in substantial cost saving for the student.
The Department of Respiratory Therapy encourages students to take advantage of the benefits of these devices in an appropriate and professional manner. Students should use discernment and professional judgment in determining appropriate use of laptop computers during other College-related activities outside of classroom instruction. Instructors may use their discretion and indicate to students when behaviours related to laptop use are not appropriate and should cease. We thank you in advance for using your laptop in a respectful and appropriate manner.
It is recognized that Student Accessibility Services sometimes recommends the use of a laptop computer for students for accommodation of special needs. Students are encouraged to discuss these recommendations with instructors prior to commencing class.
Cell phones and electronic devices may be permitted for professional use only as permitted by each sites’ clinical specialist or manager.

• Regional use of makes and models of ventilators vary significantly. Therefore the emphasis should be on the operating principles of ventilators in general. Ventilators will not be examined by trade name. Ventilators examined will be described by classification and function only.
• All modes and adjuncts currently available across all patient populations may be examined.
• Unless a height is specified in a question, assume the patient weight that is provided is the ideal body weight (IBW).
• Unless specified, assume the patient is an adult.
Weaning Parameters
