Junior IUP respiratory therapy students at the IUP at Northpointe campus had a visit from staff at the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE) in Pittsburgh for a classroom and wet-lab educational session on February 1, 2022.
It was a unique and rare opportunity to work with human lungs connected to a ventilator and see how the lungs respond to a variety of ventilator settings and situations. Each student had an opportunity to insert a scope into the lungs to visualize the internal anatomical structures.
