Mediastinum Mediastinoscopy: An endoscope is inserted through an incision in the chest. nas/o Nose Paranasal sinuses : Para- means near in this term. nasogastric intubation orth/o straight‚ upright Orthopnea : An abnormal condition in which breathing (-pnea) is easier in the Upright position. A major cause of orthopnea is congestive heart Failure (the lungs fill with fluid when the patient is lying flat). Physicians assess the degree of orthopnea by the number of pillows a patient requires

Baby boy A.‚ preterm‚ 36 weeks by Ballards score was delivered by Ceasarian section at a private hospital to a 32 year old multigravid with Apgar score 8 and 9 at one and five minutes‚ respectively. Birth weight was 2.3kg. Birth length 45 cm. Mother‚ on the 3rd trimester‚ had urinary tract infection treated with Amoxycillin 500mg/cap‚ 1 capsule TID for 1 week. Thereafter she was admitted in a private hospital due to preterm labor where tocolysis was done. Two days prior to delivery‚ the mother

athletic training. Yoga’s use of breathing and centering techniques can be valuable tools for event preparation‚ routine and skill visualization‚ as well as stress/anxiety reduction. 5) Yoga improves breathing function. Yoga exercises‚ particularly pranayam exercises‚ have been shown to improve breathing mechanics and lung capacity. Focused breathing exercises develop one’s ability to maximize function of all breathing mechanisms (diaphragm and intercostal breathing). Maximal lung health is vital

often placed on MV for various reasons and different lengths of time. It is the procedure where a patient receives ventilator support through a mock airway because his or her body cannot inhale oxygen or remove carbon dioxide through spontaneous breathing. Ventilation is therefore delivered through an artificial airway to meet the patient’s oxygen demands without harming the patient. Although this method is one of the most common medical therapies used in a hospital setting today (Southern Medical

Unit 5 task 3 (P5 M2 D2) – explain the concept of homeostasis‚ discuss the probable homeostatic response to changes in the internal environment during exercise‚ how homeostatic mechanisms control temperature‚ breathing and heart rate and evaluate the importance of homeostasis in maintaining healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in organisms. It involves volume of blood and tissue fluid within restricted limits‚ it also maintains

pulmonary ventilation increases to allow a larger supply of oxygen to reach the working skeletal muscles and remove any metabolic waste products. There is an increase in minute ventilation which occurs because exercise causes an increase in both breathing rate and tidal volume. Tidal volume is the volume of air that is transported during the inspiratory or expiratory phase of the respiratory

When comparing both subjects it is clear that Subject 2 (Humza) has a larger vital capacity and lower breathing rate than Subject 1 (Mohamed.S). This experiment clarified that many factors can be taken into account and influence vital capacity and breathing rates. Referring back to my hypothesis which states that height and physical activity are large factors‚ Subject 2 being taller required his body to take in more oxygen through his lungs as oxygenated blood coming from the heart needed to travel

requires a strong respiratory system. Various things occur to the body due to this movement such as; breathing rates increase with higher intensity activity such as a slap shot. Therefore‚ having an efficient respiratory system enables more air to move in and out of the lungs and enhancing gas exchange. In addition‚ improvement of the respiratory system also results in a stronger diaphragm and intercostals muscles . Consequently this leads to a substantial improvement to breathe in more air‚ for longer
