” After examination she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure‚ (CHF). P.C. had two CT’s performed and they showed as follows: cardiomegaly with no signs of pleural effusion or pneumothorax and an embolism to the left upper lobe. P.C. had oxygen running at two liters per minute via a nasal cannula‚ a Foley catheter intact‚ a lifevest on to monitor her heart‚ and two IV sites started; a 20 gauge in her left hand and an 18 gauge in her left anticubital. She received a CPAP machine the

elastic fibers. The alveoli are surrounded by a rich network of pulmonary capillaries (Couch and Berger‚ 2004). Our lungs are a network of connected tubes that bring oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste created when cells use oxygen (Natural Geographic‚ 2012). In experiment one I hypothesize that the effect of respiration changes on carbon dioxide‚ concentration in exhaled air will be greatest

VO2 Max Test Objective of the test: To work out how much oxygen can be utilized during an intense exercise test‚ the maximum capacity of oxygen used in the body Background of the test: The aim of this study was to create and evaluate a submaximal cycle ergometry test based on change in heart rate ( HR) between a lower standard work rate and an individually chosen higher work rate. In a mixed population ( n = 143) with regard to sex (55% women)‚ age (21-65 years)‚ and activity status (inactive to

This paper will critically examine the care needs and management of Mr Braun. An appropriate framework will be used‚ namely the ABCDE. Alternative treatment will be analysed using the 5 WHs critical decision making too (Jasper‚ 2006)l. His care will be based upon the nursing process ensuring that patient outcomes are agreed‚ implemented and evaluated. The assessment framework to be used is this assessment is the ABCDE assessment framework. The ABCDE framework looks at Airway‚ Breathing‚ Circulation

CELL STRUCTURE CELL THEORY: Structural and functional unit of all living things New cells arise from already existing cells Cells contain information that instructs growth. This information can be passed onto new cells. MICROSCOPES: There are two main types of microscopes: Light and Electron Electron Micrographs- shown in colour LIGHT ELECTRON Uses beam of light Magnification = x1500 Resolution = 200 nm Wide range of specimens can be used Samples are fairly quick + easy to prepare

Salt Saturation & How it Affects Salt Crystal Size 12/07/11 Research Question: How does the saturation of water affect the size of the salt crystals? This project was chosen because it was intriguing and to find out if more salt equals bigger crystals. Hypothesis: If the water is more saturated then the salt crystals will be bigger. The Independent Variable is the amount of salt in the water. The Dependent Variable is the size of the salt

Stereochemistry of Butenedioic Acid Objective: To study the interconversion of two geometric isomers‚ maleic acid (cis isomer) to fumaric acid (trans isomers)‚ the differences in physical properties between this pair of cis-trans isomers and determine the stereochemistry of addition of bromine to butenedioic acid. Chemicals and Apparatus: 2 grams of maleic acid‚ 10 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid‚ 10 cm3 of bromine water[1]‚ one 50 cm3 beaker‚ one 100 cm3 beaker‚ one 250 cm3

and thus lowering CaCO3 saturation levels. In regions where the saturation state of aragonite or calcite is greater than 1‚ the formation of shells and or skeletons is favored whereas for values less than 1.0‚ the seawater is corrosive to CaCO3 (John M. Pandolfi). This corrosive condition results in dissolution. Dissolution of the carbonate minerals calcite‚ aragonite‚ and high-Mg calcite is one of the driving forces for absorption of CO2 into the ocean. Because saturations states of the carbonate
