Neonatal respiratory failure affects 2% of all live births‚ and is responsible for over 40% of all neonatal mortality. Persistent pulmonary hypertension of a new born (PPHN) is a life threatening disease with many causes that effects both full term‚ near term infants usually in the first 72 hours after birth. Although most infants recover‚ PPHN causes a severe problem in the infant’s lungs due to high blood pressure. About 500-700 babies are affected by PPHN each year. A better understanding of

Human Science – CHAPTER 1 1. Which Organ system maintains a relatively slow-acting degree of control over most bodily functions? Endocrine System (hormones act in minutes to hours‚ in contrast to nerve impulses‚ which act in fractions of a second). 2. The esophagus and the trachea run side-by-side through the thorax. In which systems are these organs found? The esophagus belongs to the digestive system‚ and the trachea belongs to the respiratory system. (The esophagus carries food to the stomach

Fish: Fish Niche - Fishes ecological niches that work in with their respiratory systems and gas exchange posess live in water eg. sea‚ rivers‚ streams and ponds. Fish such as cod live near the sea floor with competitors such as red cod‚ spotty and kahawai challenge them. There are predators such as dolphins‚ sharks and also people. Their gas exchange system has to be efficient for them to be able to compete with those fish and escape from predators. Fish live in an acquatic environment. Water

Identify self-care deficits most commonly associated with respiratory conditions and how would those affect your initial assessment? Based on Orem’s Theory of Self-Care‚ respiratory illnesses affect several aspects of a patient’s ability to provide care to themselves and maintain independence. A patient with end-stage COPD may be unable to be without oxygen supplementation‚ they may not have the ability to cook or clean themselves without being exhausted from their lack of oxygen. Just the
