    Ventria Case Study

    Looking at the current state of Ventria's battle, it is apparent Ventria is losing. Ventria has the backing of a few important organizations. First, the California Rice Commission's advisory board voted 6-5 in favor of Ventria. They are one of Ventria's most important allies. The CRC, who's main role is to recommend regulation to the Secretary of Agriculture, has considerable influence on the overall outcome of Ventria's future. The Biotechnology Industry Association also backed Ventria, citing both the health and economic benefits of the genetically modified rice as key reasons to allow its production. Unfortunately, these recommendations were not strong enough to sway the Secretary of Agriculture.…

    Decreased Lung Compliance Case Study

    In the healthcare setting many clinicians are curious to know how airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) works. Many modes of ventilation have been developed throughout the years that focus on lung recruitment and allows for patients to breathe at a spontaneous rate. However, APRV is one of the many modes that concentrate on providing partial ventilatory assistance to patients with some form of respiratory failure. First, can APRV protect the lungs and reduce the work of breathing? Second, is APRV an effective mode of ventilation for patients that suffer from decreased lung compliance? These are just some of the questions physicians ask themselves when determining a method to ventilate their patients.…

    Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Case Study

    Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after patients has intubated and received mechanical ventilation. An infection may develop if microscopic organisms or germs invade the intubation of the patient’s lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma (Koenig, S. M., 2006). According to the 2009 National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) report, the accountability for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) preventions includes hospital’s CEO and senior management. They must assure that the hospital supports an infection prevention and control program to adequately prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). They must also ensure that proper training and educational programs are in place to…

    Respiratory Case Study Essay

    Nosocomial pneumonia is acquired during a hospital stay. It happens when a patient is admitted into the hospital with a medical diagnosis that they are hoping to be treated for and contract the infection of pneumonia through the spread of germs. “Nosocomial pneumonia (NP) clinically presents more than seven days after hospitalization with new fever, pulmonary infiltrates, and leukocytosis. Nosocomial pneumonia is a common nosocomial bacterial infection and is most prevalent in medical and surgical intensive care units. The most common pathogens associated with NP are: P aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and S marcescens (Medscape, 2015). Whereas community acquired pneumonia is contracted in the community. “Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infectious diseases and is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. CAP is usually acquired via inhalation or aspiration of pulmonary pathogenic organisms into a lung segment or lobe” (Medscape, 2015). The most common organisms involved in causing CAP are: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhalis.…

    This assignment is a case study of a patient who was admitted to a respiratory ward with acute exacerbation of asthma. This assignment will discuss nursing an adult patient with asthma, also it will aim to critically assess, plan, implement and evaluate the patients nursing needs using the Roper, Logan and Tierney nursing model (1980). This case study will focus on the maintaining a safe environment. It is worth noting that the activities of daily living are interlinked e.g. according to Roper et al (1980) breathing is an activity that is crucial for life therefore all other activities are dependent on us being able to breathe. The nursing management, pharmacological agents and the tools used will be critically reviewed and how they are contributed to the overall care of this asthmatic patient will be illustrated. To ensure confidentiality the name of the patient has been changed and consent obtained from both the patient and ward manager in compliance with section five of the code of professional conduct (NMC 2008).…

    COPD Patient: A Case Study

    Poorly managed COPD increases the patients’ risk of a faster progression of the disease and decreased activity tolerance to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), such as walking, preparing meals, performing self-care, and obtaining medications from the pharmacy when needed (American Lung Association, 2016). Further, lack or patient knowledge concerning avoidance of environmental risk factors, proper medication administration, and the importance of joining a smoking cessation program contributes to the worsening of the symptoms, a decline in quality of life, and increases their risk of complications, such as COPD exacerbations (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2013). Consequently, COPD exacerbations and the need of acute care management increase the patients’ risk of death and it is a major cause of disability among COPD patients (Burt & Corbridge, 2013). In clinical practice, patient education is an issue in need of change as increasing patients’ knowledge and awareness of specific evidence-based strategies to slow down the progress of the…

    The Importance Of Respiratory Care

    Respiratory care is important because breathing is fundamental to live. Breathing happens automatically. While you may be just sleeping, talking or eating, you do not need to spend extra efforts to make it happen. It is just the chemistry of brain that takes place and we breathe. The need of respiratory therapists come into play because according to the reports more than 24 million people in the United States and 52 million all over the world are found suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).…

    Tracheostomy Case Studies

    Obesity has become a major health issue in the United States and Europe [1]. It is estimated that more than one-third of population in the US is obese [2]. Obesity and morbid obesity are defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30- <40 kg.m-2 and ≥40 kg.m-2, respectively. A broad range of health issues such as cardiac disease, hypertension, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome are associated with obesity. All of the latter consequently increases the risk of hospitalization and a need for higher level of care. A recent study showed obesity was associated with significantly higher all-cause mortality relative to normal weight population [3]. From a pulmonary standpoint, lung physiology is significantly altered in the obese patient; including respiratory muscle insufficiency, reduced functional residual volume (FRC), expiratory reserve volume (ERV) and lung compliance [4]. Ventilation and perfusion (V/Q) matching is altered due to small airway…
