REPSIRATORY DEPTH Depth- amplitude of each respiratory movement The depth of ventilation refers to the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled. The amount of air inhaled and exhaled in one cycle is called the tidal volume. The more the chest cavity expands‚ the greater the depth of the ventilation. Full expansion of the chest wall with full relaxation on exhalation is a good indicator of adequate depth of breathing and adequate tidal volume. Many books will try and apply numbers in milliliters

Restorative II Respiratory Case Study 1. Doctor’s orders for Corny would include activity levels‚ pharmacologic interventions‚ lab work‚ diet modification‚ strict intake and output measurements and respiratory therapy. The activity level of Corny should be very minimal at first and then gradually increase to a level that is acceptable for Corny. Chronic fatigue often accompanies COPD‚ especially in the acute phase. Corny will need assistance with activities of daily living such as eating

General care was the right place for me to start for clinicals. It taught me the basic techniques a respiratory therapist needs. When I first began clinicals‚ it was difficult for me to learn new techniques and procedures for respiratory therapies. I struggled to take them from a procedure learned in a book or on the Mayo Intranet and figure how to apply it when I was with a patient. We did have labs to help us get hands on experience with the therapies but I still didn’t feel confident when entering

EXAM 1 NOTES The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure‚ and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum (i.e.‚ absolute zero pressure). Most pressure-measuring devices‚ however‚ are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere (Fig. 3–2)‚ and so they indicate the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. This difference is called the gage pressure. Pgage = Pabs - Patm The pressure at a point in a fluid has the same magnitude in all

Respiratory acidosis is a condition where body is unable to eliminate all the carbon dioxide within the lungs; this condition results with the body fluids becoming too acidic usually within the patient’s blood. The PCO2 of respiratory acidosis is greater than 45mmHg and the pH would be less than 7.36. (Graham‚ T. (2006). Respiratory alkalosis is when the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood‚ mainly due to breathing excessively are too low. Levels of respiratory alkalosis is a PCO2 of less than 35

Respiratory therapy. A career that not only requires an understanding of how the heart and lungs function but‚ has to know the disorder and treatment associated within them. This take a special someone who is dedicated to this field of study and to every patient they may come in contact with. The responsibility of this job comes with many challenges‚ the therapist are under high amounts of stress when providing their skills in intensive care situations. This job can also be very rewarding; when a
