Respiratory therapy

Respiratory therapy technicians evaluate, monitor, treat, and care for patients with breathing disorders, and provide specific respiratory procedures under the supervision of a doctor or health care professional. Respiratory therapy technicians also may assist patients by monitoring, overseeing, and providing feedback during their breathing treatments. Typically, this field consists of entry-level positions. While most employers expect an applicant to possess an associate's degree, some may…

I have chosen the Respiratory Care program to versify my skills, to challenge myself and to help people and save lives. I understand versifying my skills will be both difficult and challenging. For example, in traumatic injuries Respiratory Therapist are needed if the patient has difficulty breathing. The respiratory therapist has to work quickly and precise to help the patient and help the physician to properly treat their patients. I understand that respiratory therapist goes beyond just…

Respiratory rate 20 non-labored, producing a white material on the buccal mucosa; which does not wipe off with tongue blade. Other vital signs: temperature: 101.F, pulse: 100 BMP (regular), blood Pressure: 130/72mmHg, pulse oximeter: SAO 98% RA. Auscultation…

(EBM) is a current aspect of health care that is relevant for many reasons in respiratory therapy. This paper will examine what EBM is by looking at the concept of non-pharmacological secretion clearance methods, and how it is relevant within the realm of Respiratory Therapy, specifically for the neuromuscular compromised patients. As well as what to extent the professional practice of respiratory therapy and respiratory therapists (RTs) are informed by various types of evidence. The paper…

could indicate that she has type two respiratory failure. The main aims when treating type two respiratory failure is directed at reversing the underlying cause. Non-invasive ventilation with a tight-fitting facial or nasal mask with low levels of oxygen therapy often stabilizes these patients. When a patient is suffering from type two respiratory failure, the effectiveness of a peak flow would not affect the treatment given directly, especially when time critical, however, in none emergency…

anesthesia or when there is maintenance of the airway (Types of intubation, n.d.). 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…

been diagnosed with a respiratory illness, illness such as interstitial lung disease, or pulmonary fibrosis. Lung Institute came in to offer a solution on treatment for chronic lung diseases this is because in the past the traditional treatment options were addressing the symptoms rather than tackling the disease itself. Therefore the Lung Institute came up with a solution, it developed a Stem Cell Therapy. The aim for the lung Institute in developing the stem Cell Therapy is to offer patient…

The resonatory system includes the nasal cavity and soft palate and portions of the anatomically defined respiratory and digestive systems. (Seikel, King, & Drumright, 2010). One disorder that may affect a person’s ability to use the resonatory system to produce sufficient speech is velopharyngeal insufficiency, or VPI. This is a disorder which results in the improper closure of the velopharyngeal sphincter (soft palate muscle in the mouth) during speech, allowing air to escape through the nose…

Physical Therapy is very beneficial to many of the body systems. Further investigation towards the effects of respiratory muscle training for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is critical. Exercise therapy is a regular component in the management of various (chronic) disorders, such as musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders. Respiratory diseases are defined as a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe.…

vasomotor tone. Beneficial effects of inhaled NO include decrease in intrapulmonary shunting, improved oxygenation, initiation of bronchodilation, and possessing of anti-inflammatory properties. B. iNO therapy can help newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension, infants with hypoxic respiratory failure, infants…
