Respiratory Care TEST 1: A Guide to
Success
Credentialing Process -
\Obtain a bachelors or an associates degree take the nbrc exam
-Two exams are required for the RRT credential
-one exam required for the CRT credential.
-Two passing scores on Entry-level exam used to evaluate competency.
-Lower passing score certified respiratory therapist (CRT)
-High passing score completion of RRT written exam and eligible to sit for clinical
simulation exam (CSE)
Laws of Thermodynamics 1st and 2nd -
\1st- Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. (generic)
2nd- In any mechanical process there will be a decrease in the total energy available to
do work.
ambient temperature -
\ATPS-ambient temperature pressure saturated
(chem & physics lab) 0c/760mmHg / dry (0mg/L)
body temperature -
\BTPS- Body temp pressure saturated body temp (37c) current PB/ water vapor
pressure (43.8mg/L)
Standard Temperature -
\STPD-standard temperature pressure dry
room temp current PB current water vapor pressure (mg/L)
Temp Conversions -
\k=c+273 / c=k-273
f=(c x 1.8=32) / c=(f-32) / 1.8
f to k = (f+460)/1.8 / k to f=((k-273)) x 1.8+32
