Aspiration – A respiratory emergency Aspiration is the introduction of solids or liquids into the lungs. The presence of any substance other than breathable air impedes the perfusion in the alveoli, while the substance itself may also have damaging properties to the lung and airway tissues. Common aspirations include water, food, vomit, foreign objects or small particulates. The first three are easily introduced by the oropharynx by some sort of misdirection into the larynx rather than the…

The skeletal system has several functions. These functions include supporting the body, protecting the vital organs, providing a point of attachment for skeletal muscles, giving the body shape, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the…

When the body is at rest, the heart beats at a normal pace. As kinetic energy is applied to the body, it is put into work which can make the heart rate increase a bit. Speed requires kinetic energy in order for it to be done. Depending on how fast the speed being applied to the body, the harder the body will work affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Elements like force, friction and mass also play a huge role in this experiment. The scientific definition of speed is how fast an…

The transplant process begins by first determining whether the person that has fallen ill is medically eligible for a transplant, and if so, they are then referred to a transplant center. A transplant donor must be found that matches the person in need. There are two sources for donor organs. Organs that are removed and used from the dead are considered cadaveric organs.

Though sweating profusely, he was simultaneously quivering under a mountain of blankets. He was extremely debilitated to the point that he had to be held up by three nurses…

Increased intracranial pressure is an event that is caused by multiple neurologic conditions. Most of time, it usually occurs due to head injury, brain tumor, hemorrhage, and toxic or viral encephalopathies. Increased ICP takes place suddenly, and progresses very fast. As the pressure increase, our body tries to fix the problem by compressing the veins and displacing the cerebral spinal fluid. As the pressure keeps increasing, blood flow to the brain gets affected. There is decrease is oxygen…
