Patients suffering from some sort of respiratory distress after a postoperative time are entitled to receive Hyperinflation Therapy, or commonly known as Lung Expansion Therapy. Targeting the thoracic region, this therapy involves giving greater volume of oxygen to a patient to prevent atelectasis, which is, collapsed alveoli. Surfactant deals with a big part of hyperinflation therapy because surfactant is what reduces the tension of alveoli and keeps them inflated. If a patient is unable to fill their alveoli with air on their own, surfactant will not be released and cause the alveoli to collapse. In Cystic Fibrosis patients , the mucus creates a blockage in the airways which causes the patient to go into Atelectasis.

    In this experiment, we are using Calcium, Aluminum, and Magnesium to test our theory about periodic trends. We put these 3 metals through different tests to show why elements in similar group and period react differently. The purpose for this lab is to test the idea of patterns in the periodic trend, and if elements in similar group or similar period react differently due to the trend that they follow. If two elements in the same group or family are to be tested, one of the element reactivity will be slightly different from the other. This is the work of the periodic trends, the characteristics of an element atom change because of the element locations on the periodic table.…
