our patients use to improve the function of their lungs. This main underlying principle is that breathing can be exercised to train the expansion of lungs capacity (Potter‚ Perry‚ Stockert‚ & Hall‚ 2013). Patients who qualify for this intervention include those who have recently had a surgery‚ were under anesthesia‚ or have been placed on bed rest. Our main concern here is that these situations create opportunity for less activity within the lungs‚ which can put the patient at risk for pneumonia.

DISCUSSION Lung Perfusion (Q) SPECT-CT which has a superior contrast resolution has been shown to be more sensitive‚ specific and accurate with a lower non-diagnostic rate than lung perfusion (Q) planar and SPECT imaging in the diagnosis and to detect pulmonary embolism (PE). This study found that lung perfusion (Q) Planar‚ SPECT and SPECT-CT have a similar performance in terms of specificity (100%)‚ positive predictive value (100%) with the Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiogram (CTPA) as the

with Decreased Lung Compliance In the healthcare setting many clinicians are curious to know how airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) works. Many modes of ventilation have been developed throughout the years that focus on lung recruitment and allows for patients to breathe at a spontaneous rate. However‚ APRV is one of the many modes that concentrate on providing partial ventilatory assistance to patients with some form of respiratory failure. First‚ can APRV protect the lungs and reduce the
