How to Apply the Heimlich Maneuver Lisa Glover ENG 1010N August 15‚ 2012 Thesis Statement: To apply the Heimlich maneuver is a simple action that will often dislodge food or another object from a person’s airway when they are choking. I. Determine if the person is a choking victim. A. Cannot breathe or is making obvious efforts to take in breaths. B. Cannot speak effectively. C. Blue or gray color. D. Loss of consciousness II. Reassure the person immediately that you

area of human skin. This provides sufficient surface area for gas exchange to occur. Gas exchange occurs here with the help of a dense network of capillaries surrounding the alveoli. Blood arriving in the alveoli is deoxygenated‚ produced during respiration‚ however‚ the blood already contained in the alveoli is oxygenated. Therefore‚ the oxygen enters the deoxygenated blood by diffusion. As the oxygen diffuses through the cell membrane and into the blood‚ each oxygen molecule merges with a haemoglobin

Gas exchange in animals External respiration: not to be confused with cellular respiration‚ although purpose is to provide oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide Single-celled organisms achieve this by simple diffusion Larger organisms need specialized breathing organs Getting the air into the body is one challenge Circulatory system needed to distribute oxygen to the tissues Specialized blood cells can transport oxygen (solubility in plasma is very low) The process of breathing Air has much

There is around 4% of every breathe that the body intakes the oxygen is absorbed into the blood. There are two body systems that are involved in the getting the oxygen and energy into the blood‚ respiratory and digestive system. The role of a respiratory system goes through many steps before the oxygen gets into the blood. The first step is when the air enters the nose and mouth and travels down into through the pharynx‚ larynx and towards the trachea. After it pasts the trachea‚ the air will travel

waste matter in form of carbon dioxide through lungs to carry out by breath-out. Hence the respiratory system keeps on working without any rest and relaxation there by keeping living being in life and activity. The rate of breathing or cellular respiration varies with level of activity not only physical but also mental. Main organ of the respiratory system can be stated as below: 1. Nostrils 2. Pharynx Nasal and Oral 3. Glottis 4. Trachea 5. Bronchi 6. Alveoli 7. Lung During breathing

Cellular Respiration Lab Report Wednesday 8:00 A.M. Lab March 2nd‚ 2005 I. Introduction In this lab we are measuring the amount of oxygen used in both germinating and non germinating peas. We are measuring the oxygen consumption by taking a reading of a respirometer submerged in two water baths. The first bath will be cold water and the second warm to determine the effect of temperatures on oxygen consumption. Our negative control will be glass beads to measure to increase or decrease

Introduction For this case study I have chosen three problems which are (i) airway clearance‚ ineffective (ii) breathing pattern‚ ineffective (iii) and pain. (i) Airway clearance‚ ineffective. intervention | rationale | evaluation | Vital signs monitored and recorded every 15 min for 1 hour and then every half hourly. | This is for baseline comparison. | If there is a major difference between the baseline and the other assessments then the nurse would be able to pick it up and act according
