The virus causes lung airwaves in infants, affecting infants with weak immune systems. The disease affects the lungs and causes breathing problems, and the effects can range…

Examination of the Circulatory and the Respiratory Systems The Circulatory System Blood Blood is one of the most researched liquids of the body that circulates through the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries (that will be explained further in the text), performing various functions. Despite being 78% water, this red color pigmented substance contains four distinct…

Researching of Respiratory Distress Pathophysiology Pneumonia is the consequence of pathogen development and the hosts reaction from a pathophysiological perspective. It should be emphasized that bacterial reproduction does not always result in the development of pneumonia. The respiratory components of the lungs are the source of the development of an inflammatory response (Vardhmaan et al.,…

Spirometry Test for Respiratory System Respiration is one of the vital physiological processes required for a normal homeostasis. It is also a complicated process where various mechanisms are interconnected to ensure a smooth air flow through the relevant pathways (Guyton and Hall, 2006). A defect in the respiratory system could lead to various complications which…

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Case Study The definition of ARDS It is a deadly respiratory disorder, which occurs due to rapid failure of lungs. The associated clinical indicators The associated clinical indicators are low blood pressure, increased heartbeat, low arterial oxygen tension, low arterial carbon dioxide tension, high bicarbonate concentration, alkaline condition of pH…

Discussion of Respiratory Acidosis Acids are substances that can give off hydrogen ions, and bases are substances that can accept these ions. The acid-base balance is an important parameter that is maintained in the human blood within certain limits. This is necessary for the normal functioning of various body systems, biochemical reactions, and the optimal…

Acute Respiratory Failure: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management Table of Contents Introduction Pathophysiology of Acute Respiratory Failure Diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Failure Medical Management for Acute Respiratory Failure Plan of Care for Acute Respiratory Failure Conclusion References Introduction The human body is a system that depends on the coordination of all organs regarding the distribution of…

Discussion: Respiratory Assessment Summary Breathing is one of the main physical processes without which the bodys functioning is impossible. Without sufficient access to oxygen, the human body cannot efficiently operate since the work of many organ systems is disrupted (Rolfe, 2019). Therefore, in the presence of even minor breathing problems, a complete respiratory analysis is…

Respiratory Compromise and Pneumothorax Table of Contents Introduction Clinical presentation of pneumothorax and flail chest Critical analysis of current treatment modalities Conclusion References: Introduction Respiratory compromise due to pneumothorax could occur due to various causes. Two types of pneumothorax were described: spontaneous and traumatic (Porter, 2008). The former was characteristic of young men who were…
