The respiratory rate is a very important tool through which it is possible to recognise early signs of deterioration of a patient (Philip‚ Richardson & Maurice Cohen 2013‚ p. 570). Despite this‚ there is an increasing amount of cases in which healthcare professionals‚ nurses in particular‚ do not routinely assess and document this important vital sign correctly (Massey & Meredith 2010‚ p. 538). This essay will discuss the reasons why healthcare professionals are likely to omit assessing and documenting

(Mireles-Cabodevila et al‚ 2009) The ventilator maintains a high pressure setting for the bulk of the respiratory cycle‚ which is followed by a release of low pressure. (Mireles-Cabodevila et al‚ 2009) The release to a low PEEP is the expiration phase and aids the elimination of CO₂. The release periods are kept short to prevent derecruitment of alveoli and

Using the guidelines in Wilson & Giddens ’ Ch. 11 and videos‚ perform a respiratory assessment process on a patient or a significant other. Write up your findings following the guidelines and post them here. It is important for nurses in all practice settings to be able to perform a basic respiratory assessment. This includes taking a pertinent patient history and using the techniques of inspection‚ palpation‚ percussion‚ and auscultation. Immediately upon meeting a patient I am looking to
