help her in maintaining the body temperature in the real world. Most babies remain active inside the womb right until birth. Keep track of the movements of your baby and watch out for any significant reduction in movement. Your baby produces enough surfactant this week to ensure that she can breathe normally outside the womb. Your baby weighs nearly 3.5 kilos by the time you reach week 39 of your pregnancy.

impaired. It has been found that this disease affects premature infants and especially neonates less than 34 weeks gestation and qualifies as the most common causes of neonatal deaths. It is understandable that infants born before 34 weeks lack surfactant; a type ii alveolar cells that are necessary for breathing. Further research into neonatal RDS has shown that in rare cases, RDS can also occur in full-term infants or those over 34 weeks gestation. Based on this information, it can,…

or Respiratory Distress Syndrome is the main illness seen involving the lungs of premature neonates. Lungs are essentially giant fleshy air bags, and inside of these bags is a system of smaller bags and tubes connecting them. A substance called surfactant is what coats the inside of these smaller bags so they don’t stick together, and in neonates this substance often is not in enough quantity to allow for adequate lung function. In order to stop this from killing the child, the characters…

1. What clinical findings support a diagnosis of ARDS? There are a number of findings supporting a diagnosis of ARDS. Through physical examination, labs, and diagnostics including the patient's inability to breathe on her own, alteration in perfusion, and end-organ dysfunction (Urden, Stacy, & Lough, 2014, p. 522). There are multiple findings supporting a diagnosing of progressing ARDS to include the patient’s condition has worsened. The patient is sinus tachy with a heart rate of 120 BPM and…

Introduction When a particular medicine is swallowed (tablets, capsules, etc). The absorption or uptake of the drug into the body mainly depend on two factors. 1. How well does the drug dissolves in stomach and gastrointestinal(GI) fluids (solubility of drug) 2. How readily does the drug passes through the intestinal wall into the blood (drug permeability) To find out how a drug is likely to be taken up when it is swallowed. The Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) was introduced by…

Ventilation and perfusion work together in the body to provide oxygen and dispose of carbon dioxide. Ventilation provides tissue and organs oxygen by the process of mechanical inspiration and exhalation of the lungs. This provides the alveoli within the lungs with oxygen, as well as the ability to expel waste products like carbon dioxide. Perfusion provides the tissues and organs with oxygen by the mechanism of diffusion between the pulmonary capillaries and alveoli. Ventilation Ventilation…

Is going green and living a safe and cautious the new thing to do or should we sit back and no care about anything like before.
