2. Mechanical ventilation lab has the most current equipment used in the profession such as the Maquet Servo i Ventilator, Respironics V60 Noninvasive ventilator, which are typically used in acute or critical care settings. Furthermore, the lab contains additional equipment used in the diagnosis and follow up critically ill patients such as i-Stat Blood Gas Analyzer.
3. Simulation center: this facility mimics real time experience with patients using highly specialized equipment and allows students to do team approach patient care. The simulation center is considered the first of its kind in the Kingdome that is designated to the field of Respiratory Therapy.
