Internal respiration in external respiration. Internal respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the circulatory cells in cells of the body. This processes gives oxygen to the cells from blood‚

For the purpose of this essay the Kolb’s model of reflection (1984) has been chosen as a guide to reflect on administration of oxygen therapy. Administration of oxygen therapy is the aspect of nursing practice that I selected as a result of completing the case-based learning scenarios. I will explain how the administration of oxygen therapy can have an effect on a patient’s activities of daily living (ADL)‚ including some of the psychological and ethical issues. Breathing is the selected ADL that

He also has a history of coronary artery disease and peripheral arterial vascular disease. His arterial blood gas (ABG) values are pH = 7.32‚ PaCO2 = 60 mm Hg‚ PaO2 = 50 mm Hg‚ HCO3- = 30 mEq/L. His hematocrit is 52% with normal red cell indices. He is using an inhaled ß2 agonist and theophylline to manage his respiratory disease

| Establishes baseline in order to monitor oxygen exchange regression or progression. | If the oxygen is fluctuating below the required amount it can be reported immediately and therefore actions can be taken. | Increase fluid intake. Up to 300ml per day. | Hydration helps reduce the thickness of secretions. | Sputum excretion will be easier for the patient which therefore clears up the airway. | Administer O2 at no more than 2L per min | COPD patients retain O2 (fremault 2008) | Saturation

Oxygen is of life-saving importance in the treatment of COPD. Lung function impairment is poorly reversible; therefore‚ treatment strategies must be aimed at stabilizing the disease progression (Simmons & Simmons‚ 2004). In advanced COPD‚ like the patient at Fairview Southdale‚ hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure may develop and may be treated with long-term oxygen therapy (Simmons & Simmons‚ 2004). In general‚ low flow rates
