(2). Another environmental factor that can cause asthma is when pollution in the air spikes up from time to time. Small particles of the polluted air can find their way into your lungs, airways and nose causing blockage making it more difficult to breath. When these particles reach the lungs they can pollute/build up in airways causing a symptom of asthma such as heavy breathing; and if the blockage/pollution become very bad it can sometimes cause you to have a bad asthma attack (2). A final…

emphysema there is an imbalance of the antiprotease and protease. The more protease, the more damage there will be and the less protease there is, the less damage will be done to the alveoli. Emphysema and COPD can result in dyspnea ,or shortness of breath (SOB), from the destruction that has been done inside the liver. Other symptoms of emphysema include, but are not limited to, wheezing, which is also a symptom of asthma (inflammatory disease), coughing and discoloration of the skin…

the Most Important Element Alrecus What is Oxygen? Oxygen is one of the periodic table elements. Oxygen is also a gaseous chemical. Oxygen makes up more than twenty percent of the Earth's air. Oxygen is a dry and unscented. Oxygen is exceptionally receptive. Oxygen was found interestingly by a Swedish Chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in 1772. Joseph Priestly, an 112, freely, found oxygen in 1774 and distributed his discoveries that year, three years before Scheele distributed. Antoine Lavoisier,…

Because failure to exchange blood gasses can result in death, ventilators are considered life-critical machines. A patient who is not breathing can be ventilated with an Ambu bag and a mask operated by hand. Ventilators provide a machine-assisted breath that can be better controlled and are used in surgery, intensive care and emergency rooms. Modern ventilators are about the size of a laptop computer and can be used in home care. Some of the first artificial ventilating systems were what…

We see now how God makes man a living being. God breathes into the man and he then becomes a living being. It is the contact with God through the breath of His Spirit that makes man a living being. When a male comes into contact with God, he will become a living being. When a male comes into contact with God, he will become a living being. What does it mean that when a male comes into contact with God, he will become a living being? Let’s look at it. When a male can breathe, eat, think and…

the alveoli, which causes shortness of breath. The alveoli in a healthy individual are clustered together. With emphysema, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and eventually rupture which creates one larger air space instead of many small ones (Mayo clinic, n.d.a.). With regards to causes, there can be many causes for the development of emphysema. The main cause of emphysema…

asthma is wheezing. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic coughing, chest tightness, and trouble sleeping at night usually due to symptoms. The cause of asthma is unknown, but it can be from genetic predisposition, allergies, environment, and respiratory infections. Environmental factors include allergens such as house dust mites, pet dander, pollens, molds, tobacco smoke, chemical irritants, and air pollution. The…

Typically these patients are seen by their surgical attending, but in this case, her surgeon was in OR for 7 hours performing an emergency…

(Withers, 2009) There are various pathological changes to the respiratory system of a smoker. One extremely widespread change is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The World Health Organisation (2010) define COPD as, “…a lung disease characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airflow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible.” COPD as a lung disease encompasses pathological changes such as Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema. Chronic Bronchitis is long term…
