Barnack Samuel May 03 2015 Essay on my research of SARS In the year 2002, the disease SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) ravaged the modern world, spreading via airlines and other means of worldwide transportation. From my seventh grade biology class in the year 2011, I learned much about SARS. Below is what I knew before further research. In 2002, SARS appeared in China. It soon used international airports and cargo shipments to spread across the rest of the modern world. Because of…

Implementation Plan Development Methods of securing support for the proposal and obtaining necessary approvals The first and foremost approval to obtaining support is from fellow nurses in order to “buy them in” as they will be an important asset in the formal approval of the executives. Talking to colleagues who work at the bedside of the patients and understand what the change is all about is an important part in the implementation. Administration approval will also be an important tool as…

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) commonly known as hyaline membrane syndrome occurs in many premature births. As the gestational age for a baby decreases subsequently the likelihood of them having this condition will increase because their lungs are severely underdeveloped. The problems that stem from RDS include lack of surfactant, smaller alveolar surface span, elevated compliance of the small airways, and occasionally the ductus arteriosis might be a factor if it doesn’t close shortly…

Background: Innovations within the healthcare industry related to scientific and technical advancements often lead to changes in healthcare delivery. To cope with these changes, it is necessary to prepare and train healthcare workers to improve employees' knowledge and the quality of care. Limited clinical experience with mechanical ventilation approach, like high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), makes its implementation difficult in the real critical care world. The authors…

Using the Horizontal Compression buttons and the scroll bar, display the trace and table of results for each exercise. Email the report to yourself and use your results to answer the following questions, including the trace and table of results where appropriate. You should read through your lecture notes on the respiratory system; the background information for this class on Moodle; and section 23-7 in Martini (2012) p830-838. Please hand your individual work into the Student Centre by the…

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a type of lung disease. That is a medical condition caused by a virus that the destruction of alveoli in the lungs,than causing swelling and fibrosis in the lung tissue and impede the work of the air sacs and prevents oxygen from reaching the blood. SARS is attached with flu-like syndrome, is viruses called the SARS-CoV which forward into pneumonia and from time to time the disease caused to death many people. The history of severe acute respiratory…

CLINICAL CLARIFICATION • Acute respiratory distress syndrome {ARDS) is a condition of dysfunctional gas exchange {i.e., pulmonary interstitial and alveolar edema progressing to advanced fibrosis) that is characterized by acute onset, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, severe hypoxia, the absence of evidence of left atrial hypertension, and a significant risk of mortality.25 DIAGNOSIS CLINICAL PRESENTATION • History o The patient may be in present with complaints of acute dyspnea and suffocation…

There are many diseases out there that effect the lungs, and can be life-threatening. They affect millions of people every year. Some examples would be lung cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Cancer is a disease that, among other things, effects the communication between cells. Acute respiratory distress syndrome prevents oxygen from getting into the blood. With so many people being at risk, it can lead some people to wonder why the cure hasn’t already been created. There are many…

Franco, Enders, Wilson, Gajic, and Pannu (2016) conducted a retrospective study that reviewed the patterns and results of rescue techniques used in patients that suffered from severe hypoxemia. The researchers defined severe hypxemia as the failure to attain enough arterial oxygen while on oxygen or because of an injury due to the change in pressure, barotrauma. The article stated that previous studies have studied the techniques used in the rescue of the patients, however, none of the studies…

the problem when he discovered that few people in the airline industry were actively working on ways to improve the quality of airplane air” (Brown). During flight, many pathogens come on board with the passengers such as: Influenza, Sars (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Tuberculosis, H1N1(Swine Flu), Meningococcal disease, and Ebola. “Wang referenced two cases of these viruses spreading on a plane, with the H1N1 flu virus spreading it to 17 other travelers and Sars spreading to 22…
