nursing intervention is to maintain an oxygen administration device as ordered‚ the goal is to keep the patient at an oxygen saturation level of 90% or greater. It’s imperative to avoid a high concentration of oxygen in patients with COPD because hypoxia stimulates the drive to breathe in patients that constantly retain carbon dioxide‚ creating an air hunger reaction (Ackley‚ 2011). It is important to pace the activities and schedule rest periods to prevent fatigue. Activities will increase oxygen

the large pressure differential between inside and outside of the chest. Rapid decompression can rupture eardrums and sinuses‚ bruising and blood seep can occur in soft tissues‚ and shock can cause an increase in oxygen consumption that leads to hypoxia. As a consequence of rapid decompression‚ any oxygen dissolved in the blood would empty into the lungs to try

With the possible diversion of the Mississippi on the line‚ man’s effort to resist the diversion is becoming one of the greatest river engineering problems ever encountered. There is evidence that does indeed support the theory that the Mississippi river is being captured by the Atchafalaya River and the evidence is available and very bountiful. The data on the deterioration and the loss of the capacity of the flow of the Mississippi below the old river and the increased capacity of the Atchafalaya
