the lungs over time. A way to test the progression is a pulmonary function testing (PFT’s). This test, tests the lung capacity of a person ("COPD"). This test is simple and is accurate. It involves a patient blowing out into a tube. The force and duration determines the condition of the lungs. With emphysema it is hard to blow out because air pockets form. To tell what stage a person is in most doctors use the GOLD staging system. GOLD stands for “ Global Institute for Chronic Obstruction Lung…

What is asthma? Asthma is a day-and-night lung weakness that lights and limits the air travel routes. Asthma reasons repeating times of wheezing (a shrieking sound when you inhale), mid-section snugness, shortness of breath, and hacking. The hacking regularly happens during the evening or at a young hour in the morning. To comprehend asthma, it knows how the flying routes work. The navigation routes are tubes that do air into and of your lungs. Individuals who have asthma have excited aviation…

obstructive pulmonary disease is any group debilitating, progressive, and potentially fatal lung diseases that have increased resistance to air movement, prolongation of the expiratory phase of respiration, and loss of the normal elasticity of the lung (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2012). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema is when the air sacs of the lungs are damaged and enlarged. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the mucous membrane in…

Gaseous exchange Breathing is the body’s way of exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide. The lungs get oxygen through alveoli. The air is transported though the trachea and diverted though the bronchi into a lung, the bronchi extends into smaller tubes called bronchioles witch at the end of them are little air sacks (the alveoli). Oxygen is needed to get into the blood stream to allow oxygen to be supplied throughout the body in order for it to function normally. It does this by gaseous exchange.…

and that these continuous requirements are met. Exploring the main role of the respiratory system in this process and its relationship with the cardiovascular system is best explained in 4 main steps. 1. “Uptake in the lungs 2. Carrying capacity of blood 3. Global delivery from lungs to tissue 4. Cellular use of oxygen” (Treacher &…

Over view of Meter dose Inhaler Regulation in US and EUROPE. Introduction A metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is a device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs, in the form of a short burst of aerosolized medicine that is usually self-administered by the patient via inhalation. It is the most commonly used delivery system for treating asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases. Metered-dose inhaler products contain therapeutically active…

decreases, stem cells and growth factors increases, which promotes rapid wound healing. Side Effect Definition/Describe A. Pneumothorax: Pneumothorax is defined as a collapsed lung due to the presence of gas or air within the thoracic cavity. B. Air Embolism: An air embolism is also known as a “gas bubble,” and can be defined as block in the vascular system due to an air/gas bubble. C. Oxygen Toxicity: Oxygen toxicity…

Whooping Cough/ Pertussis Most Prevalent Whooping Cough is most prevalent in babies younger than 6 months old or kids that are 11-18 years old. It is most prevalent in these age groups because babies younger than 6 months don’t have the immunizations yet, and kids 11-18 immunization has started to fade. Description Whooping cough is an infection of the respiratory system caused by bacteria called Bordetella pertussis. Whooping cough causes severe, highly contagious, coughing spells, which…

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…
