Respiratory Case Study The following case study is of a 37-year old Hispanic male weighing 145 lbs and 70 inches tall found unconscious by his girlfriend. According to her he was unconscious for about 15 hours and she was concerned because he would not wake or respond and was breathing shallow and slow. She then called 9-1-1. The patient entered the ER by emergency vehicle and on my initial assessment Pt had an altered mental status‚ was very unresponsive showing symptoms of a possible drug overdose

magnesium and calcium ions in a water sample. This was used because of the fact that these ions combine with soap molecules in water making it ‘hard’ to get sudsy; consequently the soap will not clean effectively. When water containing calcium and bicarbonate ions is heated‚ some carbon dioxide is given off. As a result‚ the solution becomes less acidic and insoluble calcium carbonate is formed: Ca2+ (aq) + 2HCO3- (aq) → CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l) +CO2 (g) Hardness of water is normally expressed as parts

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Toward the start of my examination I was speculation to break down just 1% centralization of Sodium Bicarbonate in water‚ yet because of a few reasons my examination got put off and till then there was change in the temperature outside because of which I needed to build the fixation. The second analysis gave me sure results‚ yet in the first I never felt that the relocation change that would happen will be so less. The room temperature was one of our reliant variables‚ on

Blood Gas Analysis at the Core Laboratory at University Hospital‚ London‚ Ontario. Blood is one of the most important fluids in the human body. It helps carry nutrients such as oxygen to the cells in the body and transports out wastes like carbon dioxide and other metabolites from these cells. Since blood is the medium through which the different organs and tissues in our body communicates‚ keeping a close eye on the constituents of a blood sample would provide a good indication of the functioning

It seems as though “Helen” has been afflicted with respiratory acidosis from the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood. The other symptoms that she is experiencing‚ the hypoventilation and sluggishness are due to the damage in her lungs from the emphysema. To regulate Helen’s breathing and carbon dioxide levels she needs to try to inhale long deep breaths and drug intervention may be needed as well. Respiratory acidosis is a condition in which a build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood produces

Homeostatic Mechanisms Homeostatic mechanisms are essential for a body to maintain a stable condition. The word homeostasis describes the body’s ability to maintain its healthy state‚ while the world around it is changing constantly. There are many steps in the process of homeostasis. First‚ there is the stimulus that causes the change. Then the receptor detects the change. The information of the imbalance is then sent to the control center‚ which decides the response. The information entering into

Abby Kong Acid rain on plant -Background information Unpolluted rain is normally slightly acidic‚ with a pH of 5.6. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere dissolves to form carbonic acid. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition‚ which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition‚ and
