inhale against a closed mouth piece to test Functional Residual Capacity. As the chest wall expands, the pressure in the box rises. Calculations are then made by using the pre-inspiration box volume and the pressure in the box before and after the inhalation effort. The Functional Residual Capacity represents 40% of the Total Lung Capacity (merckmanuals.com, 2014). Obstructive and restrictive lung disease In a restrictive lung disease the lung compliance is reduced. This means that the lungs…

these deaths occur among people who has never smoked. The primary routes of potential human exposure to radon are inhalation and ingestion. Radon in the ground, groundwater, or building materials enters working and living spaces and disintegrates into its decay products. Although high concentrations of radon in groundwater may contribute to radon exposure through ingestion, the inhalation of radon released from water is usually more…

Association for Respiratory Care sponsored a project where changes to the profession were identified as needing to happen to meet the future demands of patient care. At one time the profession was associated with Inhalation Therapy and therapists were known as “oxygen orderlies,” (AARC). Inhalation Therapists received their training while on-the-job (and licensure was not even required in any state until the 1980s). So here is a simple answer to the question, “What is a respiratory therapist?”…

1) Site/Situation History & Background (Fort MacMurray, Alberta) Nuclear power is a clean fuel, which results in little waste. In comparison with the traditional way of power generation, nuclear power is low-emission and high-efficiency in addition to being a carbon-free method of generating electricity. In this assessment, we are trying to figure out the contaminant sources of the nuclear power plant. The biggest threat for human’s health is the radioactivity of the chemicals which are being…
