“…The ability to think critically has become increasingly important as RTs work with more acutely ill patients, deal with sophisticated equipment and technology, face ethical questions, and manage an ever growing body of knowledge. 95 A group of educators from University of Texas Health Science Center examined the critical thinking ability of a group of respiratory care students in a baccalaureate program. 96 Results of the study indicated that critical thinking did not increase with age.…”

SummaryFor the busy clinician, educator, or manager, it is becoming an increasing challenge to filter the literature to what is relevant to one's practice and then update one's practice based on the current evidence. The purpose of this paper is to review the recent literature related to long-term oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, airway management, acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory care education, and respiratory care management. These topics were chosen and reviewed in a manner that is most likely to have interest to the readers of RESPIRATORY CARE.

“…To ensure that the respiratory care program produces high-quality graduates, student selection has become increasingly stringent to identify the likelihood students will complete the program and enter the workforce as effective and competent therapists. An essential aspect of the practice of respiratory care is being able to use critical thinking skills at the patient's bedside (Rye, 2011). With the need to identify the potential of students during the selection process, the program incorporated means to assess critical thinking.…”

“…Workers with this ability add to high productivity, can assume high-skill jobs, and contribute to problem-solving and future planning within the workplace (Celuch & Slama, 1999). Industry professionals have encouraged the development of critical thinking skills in higher education as an objective for educators (Facione 2007;Kacmarek et al, 2012;Rye, 2011;Wettstein et al, 2011). Sternberg (1986) suggested that critical-thinking ability is influenced by three traditional thought processes: educational, psychological, and philosophical.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between assessment of critical thinking as admission criteria as a predictor of success in the completion of an associate degree respiratory care program. The research site was a community college located in the southern United States. The sample included 176 students who completed Health Sciences Reasoning Test (HSRT) as an admission criterion and were enrolled in the associate degree respiratory care program at the research site. Binary logistic regression models and univariate general linear regression models were completed to examine direct associations of select theoretically relevant variables as predictors of success. Direct associations tested in this study included critical thinking assessment at admission, along with student background information (age, gender, ethnicity, and admission GPA) were tested in various models, in relationship to successful completion (graduation status and final GPA) of an associate degree respiratory care program.Results indicated that the critical thinking assessment tool and strong academic standing are indicators to successful completion of the associate degree respiratory care program. Student background information (age, gender and ethnicity) was found to not indicate successful completion of the associate degree respiratory care program. Discussion focused on the use of critical thinking assessment as admission criterion, identifying other predictors of success, and possibilities for methodological replication.
