Mediastinal anatomy is complicated which is close to a number of important tissues and organs. Moreover‚ tissue biopsy is difficult. Hence‚ it is difficult to establish a diagnosis and differentiate benign from malignant lymph nodes. There are invasive and noninvasive methods for evaluation of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Invasive methods contain mediastinoscopes‚ thoracoscopes‚ transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)‚ endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

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

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
