rapidly corrected with supplemental low flow oxygen therapy. However‚ he gradually became more oxygen dependent on high flow oxygen‚ eventually requiring intubation with mechanical ventilation in order to maintain his oxygenation. He underwent an open lung biopsy in an attempt to delineate the etiology of his pulmonary situation‚ and this was reported as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and alveolitis. The specimen was sent to the Forest General Pathology Department for further evaluation‚ and they were

1. Today I am here to talk to you about something which is becoming a huge issue in our world. Air Pollution is a major problem facing our government today. It is harmful to every living creature on the planet.

Jerry trains his lungs and pushes his limits and because of that “his nose bleeds badly”. For hours he has been practicing holding his breath he begins to feel weak and dizzy. Jerry has to battle the forces of nature pushing his lung capacity to its limits. He is engaged in a conflict of nature and physical barriers to attain his goal. If Jerry doesn’t hold his breath long

moved in and out of the lungs each minute (pulmonary ventilation) depends upon 2 factors: size of each breath (tidal volume) and number of breaths/minute (respiratory rate). For example‚ suppose your tidal volume is 500 mL (0.5 liters) and you breathe 15 times/minute. Your pulmonary ventilation = 15 breaths/min x 0.5 L/breath = 7.5 L/min. Pulmonary Ventilation = (Respiratory rate; breaths per minute) x Pulmonary Ventilation Remember that some of the lung air is dead space and does

The tar mostly will sticks to the cilia in our lungs and more things is it will be the cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD a. Specific Detail. Cilia are microscopic‚ hair-like structures that extend from the surface of every human. This can be found in the lungs‚ respiratory tract and middle

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) find it difficult to cycle oxygen into the lungs. This respiratory system block is sometimes mistaken as just a bad cough or a result of old age‚ but it can be a lot more deadly than people may think. COPD develops through stages instead of affecting a person all at once like more common diseases do‚ making it hard to detect in the beginning.This disturbance in the lungs usually only happens to people of older age (Approximately 40-60)‚ but this does not

Shakespeare Sance Homework # 4 The factors that would cause the lung to collapse are elastic recoil and high surface tension. And the factors that prevent the lungs from collapse are negative intrapulmonary pressure and surfactant. During expiration : volume increase and pressure decrease During inspiration : volume decrease and pressure increase The role of surfactant is to decrease surface tension by more than 40 times. And it’s effect on surface tension is to prevent them from PO2
