Asthma Asthma is a respiratory disease. Asthma has a high reactivity of the bronchial tubes to various stimuli and that reaction blocks air flow by narrowing and obstructing the trachea and lungs. (Woollbert‚ Robert‚ 1996) This causes difficulty breathing‚ and while it’s normally temporary and reversible it can still be life threatening. Normally a person with Asthma has triggers. There are two main sections triggers fall under‚ a viral illness or an allergy. A viral illness is

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

The Organ Systems of the Human Body The human body is made up of 11 organ systems. The Integumentary System‚ Skeletal System‚ Muscular System‚ Nervous System‚ Endocrine System‚ Circulatory System‚ Lymphatic System‚ Respiratory System‚ Urinary System‚ Digestive System‚ and Reproductive System for the male and female. Also‚ we have the Immune System which is an accumulation of cells rather than an organ system. Protection‚ support and movement are the main functions of the Integumentary system

find myself increasingly more interested in knowing how and why these clinical advances become the best practice in rehabilitating individuals. As a Respiratory Therapist‚ my rehabilitation practice is not as traditional as other Allied Health rehabilitation experience. Many of my respiratory clients are individuals requiring some sort of respiratory support; either with invasive mechanical ventilation‚ inhaler treatments or non- invasive support such as BIPAP/CPAP therapy. Rehabilitation of a ventilated

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
