Understanding respiratory volumes, capacities, and measurements will help me perform my job as a medical assistant because they are significant being a medical assistant. First of all, when the patient is on the bed, I will measure the respiratory rate while he/she is at relaxation. In the next, I will observe the rise and fall of the victim 's chest and count the number of respirations for one full minute. Then, I will record the current time, respiratory rate and respiratory characteristics. Spirometry is used diagnose conditions that affect breathing such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.
It also helps provide oxygen to the body. External respirations is when you breathe in through your lungs and carbon dioxide exhaled out. Internal respirations is what you inhales goes from the lungs back to the heart. 4. Describe eight signs and/or symptoms of the respiratory system.
Homeostasis is the body's method of keeping internal stability no matter what external influence disturbs its normal functioning (Anna, 2011). And the respiratory system is one of the systems in the body that helps to maintain homeostasis by maintaining pH and regulating gas exchange. The main function of this system is take in oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. This system has external respiration and internal respiration. External respiration is a mechanical process that exchange of gases in and out of the body, while internal respiration is the chemical process that breaking down nutrients with oxygen to produce energy.
1.What are the common symptoms associated with an exacerbation of COPD? According to the Mayo Clinic (2017), symptoms occur when a vast amount of damage has occurred to the lungs and progressively worsens, especially if the patient continues to smoke. Change in sputum color, increased sputum amount, coughing more than usual, increased fatigue, breathlessness, increased difficulty completing ADLs, fever, confusion, increased sleepiness, and decreased pulse ox levels are symptoms that are typically associated with a COPD exacerbation (Lareau, Moseson & Slatore, 2014). 2.What assessment techniques will you use to assess Mary?
This scenario is of a 64 year old female who has retired from working in a factory. At one time she smoked and as an adult reports being overweight most of the time. She is experiencing hand stiffness and pain. She reports using tobacco as part of her history. There are five differential diagnosis that can be operating with these circumstances.
Black lung is a common name for any lung disease that results from inhaling coal dust. Anthracosis, commonly known as “Black Lung” or “Coal Miner’s Pneumoconiosis, is a common problem in the area in which we live, The Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachians are full of coal mines making Black Lung very common in our area. Not only has this disease common in the eastern part of the United States, it has become prevalent across the whole country and world. Every year there is roughly 1,000 deaths over the course of the year.
Kaitlyn Finney Respiratory therapy 150 RESPIRATORY DISTRESS AND IT 'S AFFECT ON INFANTS Respiratory distress of the newborn is a very fatal but curable disease. It is a vicious series of events that all lead to severe impairment of the respiratory function. Although it is primarily due to immature lungs the reason the lung maturity is so important is because of the growth of surfactant. Surfactant replacement and mechanical ventilation are both very helpful therapies for infants with Respiratory distress syndrome however the best method is the prevention of prematurity. The purpose of this paper is to enlighten the reader about this devastating disease and the successful therapies we respiratory therapists use to reverse and care
Emphysema is a chronic respiratory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. The fourth-leading cause of death in the United States, COPD affects about 16 million Americans and kills about 120,000 people per year (Wisniewski, 2003). Emphysema is one of the two types of common lung diseases known collectively as COPD, which is known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Of the two types of COPD, emphysema is the most severe form. Many etiological factors can contribute to this disease such as age and genetics.
The walls of the alveoli actually share a membrane with the capillaries in which oxygen and carbon dioxide move freely between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart. At the same time, the carbon dioxide molecules in the alveoli are blown out of the body with the next exhalation." (Dugdale, 2012) Ventilation is another fact because if this not happen our body will be full of carbon dioxide and the oxygen will be down. Many times when the people here ventilation they get confused and think that they are talking about respiration that is not correct, is correct say that ventilation is similar to breathing but no to respiration, they are different "Movements of the ribs, rib muscles and diaphragm allow air into and out of the lungs.

The heart may have the sinoatrial node (SA node) to trigger contraction, but in order for us to breath our nervous system has to signal for us to begin the process of ventilation (breathing). Our brain stem has three parts to it, but only the pons and medulla oblongata play a key role in breathing. The medulla helps set the respiratory rhythm by receiving and sending impulses to a bundle of neurons called the ventral respiratory group to the phrenic nerve to bring about contraction in the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles. All this only happens though due to the sensors of the chemoreceptors. The chemoreceptors located in the medulla and carotid and aortic bodies detect a rise in carbon dioxide (CO2).
