Respiratory disease

Blood is the only liquid in the body that is classified as connective tissue. Its function is to transport oxygen, metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste from the kidneys. Regulation of the body’s pH, body temperature, and maintenance of the liquid volume in the circulatory system. Lastly, protection by way of Leukocyte activation and preventing blood loss by way of the platelets in the blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma (water, salts, plasma proteins, and other…

is because it allows the body to be able to respire and be able to get all that it needs to maintain the same state, for example, oxygen throughout the body as well as nutrients to the cells in the body. An example of a transport system is the Respiratory system. This system is required in the body as it helps the body to take in oxygen, this can be done through the lungs, as it allows it to be absorbed into the blood, through the use of the alveolus found within the tissue of the lungs, in…

Volume (AMV) and Extended Mandatory Minute Ventilation (EMMV). MMV can be categorized as volume controlled (VC)-IMV with adaptive and set-point targeting schemes. This mode guarantees the patient will receive a minimum minute volume based the set respiratory rate and tidal volume. Thus, the set breathing rate is the maximum number of mandatory breaths a patient can receive (Chatburn, Khatib, Mireles-Cabodevila, 2014). Furthermore, if the patient is able to breath spontaneously above the set rate…

In the respiratory system you can found nose which is a pathway for air and this is where the oxygen get into the lung and carbon dioxide into the air .Pharynx also known as throat is an other way which air can also enter into the lungs through the mouth. Air also enters into the larynx also known as voice box. It have two main functions as it is a passageway for air to enter into the lungs and a source of vocalization. The epiglottis is a tissue a flap-like cartilage structure contained in…

fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis is an extremely common genetic disease in the UK. The genetic defect was identified by a group of scientists in 1989.In the UK it has been found that 1 in 25 people carry the faulty CF allele. CF is caused by deletion of 3 nucleotides in chromosome 7. The amino acid phenylalanine is lost as a result of this mutation. It is autosomal recessive so both the CFTR alleles should be faulty to cause the disease. Many of the epithilial linings of the ducts in the…

). Tracheostomy tubes and endotracheal tubes are often used for the distribution for aerosol therapy. According to the Medical Dictionary, Aerosol deposition is the depositing or the retention of aerosol particles on a nearby surface within the respiratory system. “Aerosol deposition during mechanical ventilation is reduced by the presence of an artificial airway” (Ari, Harwood, Sheard, & Fink, 2012). When the artificial airways diameter diminishes, the aerosol deposition within the airway will…

Coaches Toolbox Coaches are very influential in their players lives. Their influence can be for the good of the player or can be detrimental to their performance. Some of the greatest coaches in history used a variety of sport psychology concepts and techniques to help their athletes reach peak performance. Since I am seeking a career in the field of coaching, it is essential that I gain the knowledge and know how to implement some of these techniques to help better my clients. This project…

1 Introduction Respiratory therapy (RT) is an allied health specialty that provides therapeutic and diagnostic services to patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Around 119 thousand respiratory care jobs held in 2010, with expected increasing up to 143,000 by 2020 based on United States Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). According to the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (COARC), there are 451 academic programs, which accredits respiratory care programs…

his left lower extremity. Fentanyl 100 mcg and dilaudid 1 mg was administered for pain management, prior to the interview with the anesthesiologist. Past medical history included Hodgkin’s lymphoma, in remission since 1978, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), and hypothyroidism. GERD was well-controlled by Prilosec, patient was taking Synthroid for hypothyroidism. Patient denied smoking history, stated he drinks alcohol occasionally, but did not have alcohol today. Past surgical history…

According to Scott(2013), the body has a respiratory center in the brain called the Medulla Oblongata and the Pons regions. The medulla sends signals to the muscles that is involved in breathing, and the pons controls the rate of breathing. These two regions in the brain can affect or have negative effect on oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the bloodstream. The body responds to low oxygen when there is there is dilation of blood vessels, which decreases blood pressure. This is also known as…
