Breathing difficulties are symptoms of a variety of mild to serious underlying disorders‚ diseases and conditions that interfere with normal respiration and breathing. Hence‚ the ability to carry out and document a full respiratory assessment is an essential skill for all nurses. While conducting the assessment

Ectothermic is the same thing as cold-blooded. It means that the animal‚ in this case a goldfish (Carassius Aauratus)‚ does not produce its own heat internally so the animals temperature depends on the temperature of its surroundings. So

RESEARCH QUESTION What is the effect of exercise on heart rate/ breathing rate? Justification Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries‚ caused by pumping of heart. Pulse can be measured on the wrist‚ neck‚ back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising

I will check my ABC”s (airway‚ breathing‚ circulation). The very first thing that I would do is to check and see if the animal is breathing. I can do this in many different ways I can physical watch them to see if they breath‚ use my stethoscope or by putting my face up to the animals nose and mouth. While noticing that both back legs are broken I would leave the dog in the position that it is in and make sure that we do not move his hind end around. Then I would check his airway to check and see

Smoking affects breathing system‚ facts and diseases. The major health problems caused by smoking affect the nicotine delivery system: the airways‚ blood vessels and lungs in the human respiratory system. During normal breathing‚ air is ingested through the nose or mouth and travels through the bronchial tubes to the lungs. There‚ the oxygen collects in the alveoli‚ or air sacs‚ and diffuses into the bloodstream‚ to be pumped by the heart to the brain and body. Cigarette smoking upsets this balanced
Premium Respiratory system Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Pulmonology
Pulmonary Ventilation or breathing has two phases. Inspiration or inhalation moves air into the lungs‚ and expiration or exhalation moves are out of the lungs. The lungs are enclosed within the thoracic cavity. Thus changes in the shape and size of the thoracic cavity result in changes in the air pressure within that cavity & in the lungs. This difference in air pressure causes the movement of air into and out of the lungs. Air moves from an area where pressure is high to an area where pressure is
