Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) Introduction of the Lungs: The primary role of our respiratory system is the exchange of gases in our blood stream. As we inhale our lungs take in Oxygen (O2)‚ as we exhale our lungs release Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The major parts of the respiratory system consist of; The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose‚ sinuses‚ mouth‚ larynx and throat. The lower respiratory tract consists of trachea‚ bronchial tubes and the lungs. The right lung

REPSIRATORY DEPTH Depth- amplitude of each respiratory movement The depth of ventilation refers to the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled. The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle is called the tidal volume. The more the chest cavity expands‚ the greater the depth of the ventilation. Full expansion of the chest wall with full relaxation on exhalation is a good indicator of adequate depth of breathing and adequate tidal volume. Many books will try and apply numbers in milliliters

Restorative II Respiratory Case Study 1. Doctor’s orders for Corny would include activity levels‚ pharmacologic interventions‚ lab work‚ diet modification‚ strict intake and output measurements and respiratory therapy. The activity level of Corny should be very minimal at first and then gradually increase to a level that is acceptable for Corny. Chronic fatigue often accompanies COPD‚ especially in the acute phase. Corny will need assistance with activities of daily living such as eating

General care was the right place for me to start for clinicals. It taught me the basic techniques a respiratory therapist needs. When I first began clinicals‚ it was difficult for me to learn new techniques and procedures for respiratory therapies. I struggled to take them from a procedure learned in a book or on the Mayo Intranet and figure how to apply it when I was with a patient. We did have labs to help us get hands on experience with the therapies but I still didn’t feel confident when entering
