corrected my breathing. There are many issues with the respiratory system that can be easily correct as changing the breathing patters of a runner. Hypoxemia is a condition that is caused by any minor respiratory conditions that makes it hard for the lungs to absorb oxygen. For the short term hypoxemia can cause some adverse side effects that without treatment can become hypoxia which will cause other adverse issues to the body and will need medical attention. The conditions that cause hypoxemia can

describe the breathing process to a patient? I will explain to the patient the process of breathing. When a person breathe in‚ or inhale‚ the diaphragm tightens and move downward. This process help to increase the space in our chest cavity and our lungs expand. Then the intercostal muscle that is located between our ribs helps to enlarge our chest cavity‚ they tighten to pull the rib cage both upward and outward when we inhale. Why does your nose run when you cry? Crying‚ tears

Clinical assessment and causes Haemoptysis is a common and non-specific feature of many lung diseases. It can be a sign of significant underlying lung disease. In up to one-third of cases‚ no cause will be found. An early assessment of the likely underlying cause needs to be made and investigated accordingly. Diagnostic approach to haemoptysis Small volume haemoptysis is a commonly encountered problem in the out-patient department. It can be safely and efficiently investigated as an out-patient

inhaling and exhaling. According to the World Health Organization (2010)‚ this condition is due to inflammation of the air passages in the lungs and affects the sensitivity of the nerve endings in the airways so they become easily irritated. In an attack‚ the lining of the passages swells causing the airways to narrow and reducing the flow of air in and out of the lungs. Barnes (1995) defines asthma as a "syndrome characterized by airflow obstruction that varies markedly‚ both spontaneously and with treatment"

order to determine the results there were two main processes that had to be preformed. These processes include inhalation and exhalation. Inhalation‚ or inspiration occurs when air is moving into your lungs. The second processes‚ exhalation‚ or expiration occurs when air is moving out of your lungs (Gutiereez‚ 2014). Even though inhalation was not directly measured by any of these three tests‚ in order to accurately measure the exhalation rate‚ which was measured in these three tests‚ you had to

COPD which is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is known as a condition that progressively makes it harder to breathe because the airflow into and out of the lungs is reduced. This usually occurs because the airways and air sacs lose their elastic quality‚ the walls between the air sacs are destroyed‚ the walls of the airways become swollen‚ or if the airways are clogged because they made more mucus than usual. Three main conditions of this disease are emphysema‚ chronic obstructive bronchitis

The Cardiopulmonary Department focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and lung conditions.One example of a heart conditoin is a myocardial infarctions‚ more commonly known as heart attacks‚ are typically caused by a blood clot in the coronary artery which can restrict blood flow‚ this in turn can cause the heart’s pumping function to decrease ( Heart Attack. 2017). An example of a cardiovascular condition is a cerebrovascular accident (CVA)‚ or a stroke‚ is caused by lack of bloodflow

carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Glucose is obtained by digestion of food and oxygen is taken from the air during a process called breathing or ventilation. Pulmonary Ventilation is the term given to the movement of air in and out of the lungs; the rate of pulmonary ventilation is defined as the tidal volume multiplied by the number of breaths taken per minute. Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in or out during one cycle of quiet breathing. There are a few different factors that

fibres are not a known carcinogen (see appendix A – MSDS). The health effects of carbon fibres depend on three factors (Seibert‚ 1990): 1. The quantity of fibre that is deposited in the lungs; 2. The dimension of the carbon fibres; 3. The amount of time that the carbon fibres spend in the lungs.

process has three basic steps that involve pulmonary ventilation‚ external respiration‚ and internal respiration. All three steps are functions that involve gas exchanges between the lungs and the atmosphere. For instance‚ pulmonary ventilation‚ or breathing involves the inhalation and exhalation of air between our lungs and the atmosphere. External respiration is the exchange of gases across the respiratory membrane between the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries. This is where the capillaries
