BLS CPR Training Guide CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. This involves the giving if life giving breaths and a series of external chest compression to person who has no breathing and no pulse. Often‚ CPR is associated with medical emergencies such as heart attack‚ drowning‚ chocking. It should be noted however that CPR is applicable to any situation where in the victim or patient has no breathing and no signs of life The Chain of Survival The chain of survival

AbstractBackground pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are fatal‚ no curable‚ but treatable diseases that strongly affect the patients. Objective. To decribe patient’s experience of information relating to PAH or CTEPH. Methods. A qualitative method using content analysis was applied. Seventeen patients (thirteen women an four men) aged 28-73 years from a regional PAH center were individually interviewed. Results. Three categories that

muscles‚ the muscles that increase the rate of ventilation receives the nerve impulses. Through anaerobic or aerobic respiration‚ ATP‚ which acts as an energy source‚ is generated. Intensity of exercise is closely related with the respiratory. Respiration increases during exercise due to the metabolic requirements of the activated muscles. This is to allow the exchange of oxygen and CO2 in lungs. As seen Fig. 1‚ there is a steep increase in ventilation at the starting point of exercise. This occurs

experiment‚ several physiological parameters were observed in three patients before‚ during‚ and after moderate exercise. One of these parameters was the pulmonary airflow‚ which was recorded utilizing an Airflow Transducer. This device measures airflow using slight pressure differences created by the resistance of a screen inside the device. Pulmonary airflow is the rate of movement into and out of the lungs‚ and is directly proportional to the pressure difference of the intrapulmonary pressure and

High blood pressure in the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries starting from the heart towards the lungs. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a sustained elevation of the pulmonary arterial pressure to greater than 25 mmHg at rest or greater than 30 mmHg following exercise‚ with a mean pulmonary-capillary wedge pressure (an indirect measure of left atrial pressure) of less than 15

Pulmonary Complications: Diaphragmatic breathing exercises or Incentive Spirometry? Postoperative care is an essential role in nursing practice. It prevents postoperative complications that may arise due to surgeries. Postoperative care includes a pathway of healing and recovering leading to prophylaxis of many pulmonary complications. Postoperative pulmonary complications include respiratory failure‚ pneumonia‚ and atelectasis. Preventing such complications is important in the clinical setting because

Pneumothorax & Mechanical Ventilation Mechanical ventilation is the use of life-support to perform the work of breathing for patients who are unable to breathe on their own or are critically ill. The First Mechanical Ventilation machine was used in 1938 called the "Iron Lung " which used negative pressure. Positive Mechanical ventilators began to be used in anesthesia and intensive care during the 1950s. The development was confirmed by the need to treat polio patients and the increasing
