Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) PCD also known as immotile cilia syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a defect in the tiny hairs (cilia) lining the respiratory tracts‚ Specifically‚ it is a defect in a gene coding for left-right dynein (LRD) a key structural protein in cilia (Chodhari et al.‚ 2004) and is usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait‚ although other modes of inheritance have been reported (Krawczynski and Witt‚ 2004).

Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode/CareFusion Avea Ventilator I have chosen the mode Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode because it is one of the modes that is most commonly used in the hospital. I wanted to further understand this mode since it is used as an initial mode setting and is also used to wean patients off the ventilator. I will be going over the taxonomy‚ description of the mode‚ its purpose & use‚ and its advantages & disadvantages. Taxonomy: Volume

A) Long-acting beta agonist: Beta-agonists (Beta2-agonists) are the medications that affect smooth muscles surrounding airways.1 In an irritated state of lung‚ muscles around the airways are constricted; these kinds of drugs can influence these muscles and make them relaxed‚ which brings about widening of airway and leads to comfortable breath (“easier breathing”1).1 They are categorized into two subtypes according to their duration time of action‚ including long-acting and short-acting. They can

Predictors of Aspiration Pneumonia: How Important is Dysphagia? The article “Predictors of Aspiration Pneumonia: How Important is Dysphagia?” describes a study conducted to compare the risks of factors in multiple different categories that could potentially lead to aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia is a prevalent issue in the elderly generation. Figuring out the risk factors that can cause aspiration pneumonia will enlighten health care providers with what precautions to take in order

Question 1. A. AIRWAY– Maintaining a clear airway is always considered a high priority because airway is essential for gas exchange (Ramkumar‚ 2011). However‚ the patient has a patent airway. Therefore‚ the nursing strategy is to conduct an airway assessment “look‚ listen and feel” continuously to detect any changes. This is to provide immediate respiratory care if the patient’s airway is compromised (Higginson‚ Jones & Davies‚ 2011). This is a low priority. B. BREATHING – Respiration is altered
