Common procedure respiratory therapists perform are arterial blood gas analysis‚ pulmonary function studies‚ sleep studies‚ EKG and cardiac test‚ sputum specimens‚ and stress/exercise tests. The need for respiratory therapists is in high demand due to the increasing numbers in elderly people‚ environment; such

Running Header: Peripheral Arterial Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease April 22‚ 2010 ME 1352 Abstract Peripheral Arterial Disease is a common secondary disease that follows Atherosclerosis. Once so much plaque builds up in the arteries‚ they become block the blood flow. P.A.D. usually affects the lower extremities and can cause intermittent claudication and‚ if severe enough‚ gangrene. Many people live with atherosclerosis and P.A.D. and show no symptoms. There are numerous prevention

Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that may raise average temperatures on Earth. The burning of fossil fuels could be responsible for the increased levels of carbon dioxide. If current trends continue‚ future concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) could reach the levels shown in the accompanying table. The CO2 concentration in the year 2000 was greater than it had been at any time in the previous 160‚000 years. Year 2000

INTRODUCTION [SLIDE 2] Many chemical compounds found in the Earth’s atmosphere act as “greenhouse gases.” These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely. When sunlight strikes the Earth’s surface‚ some of it is reflected back towards space as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases absorb this infrared radiation and trap the heat in the atmosphere. Over time‚ the amount of energy sent from the sun to the Earth’s surface should be about the same as the amount of energy radiated back

greenhouse effect in is the entrapment of the sun’s heat energy in the earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ methane‚ and nitrous oxides are all gases that contribute to this phenomenon. Carbon dioxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas while water vapor the least harmful gas makes up less than one percent of the gases in the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases are produced naturally by the earth for example carbon dioxide‚ and methane is produced from the waste

Gas phase Gases have neither definite shape or volume 1) volume changes with pressure 2) volume changes with temperature 3) gases are miscible 4) gases are generally MUCH less dense than liquids 2.
