Gas exchange is the movement of respiratory gases across a membrane. It is the delivery of oxygen to the body‚ and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body .The reason why gas exchange takes place because oxygen is one of the most essential requirements of life‚ without which organisms on Earth would not survive. Living organisms generate energy from food through the process of respiration. This allows humans and other organisms to perform their daily tasks. Oxygen is used in mitochondria

prolonged oxygen therapy by endotracheal tube or tracheostomy. Intubation compromises the oropharynx and trachea by obstructing the normal airway. This allows easier access for microorganisms in gastric and oral secretions to enter the lungs and lower respiratory tract which puts the patient at risk for aspiration‚ infection and mortality. It can increase a patient’s length of stay in the hospital and increases hospital medical costs by thousands of dollars. Many preventative factors have

What is a hazard? A Hazard is any existing or potential condition which by itself or by interaction with other variables (physical/ biological) can results in death‚ injury or chemical damage to persons‚ property‚ the environment and information. There are five main types of hazards that exist everywhere‚ They are chemical‚ physical‚ biological‚ ergonomical and psychosocial. Hazards at my work place At the University of the Southern Caribbean‚ I work in the House keeping department. This

capable of burning well without flame. The combustion of these remaining components generates large amounts of submicrometer particles and gaseous pollutants such as acenaphthene‚ penanthrene‚ benzo(a)pyrene‚ etc.. These particles can reach the lower respiratory tract and may be coated with a wide range of organic compound generated through incomplete combustion of mosquito coil base materials. Mosquito coils are often used overnight in sleeping quarters; where continuous exposures may occur. Chronic exposure

How Variations Of 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20‚ And 25 Squats Affects the Respiration Rate In 14 Year- Old Year 9 Boys. The human respiratory system is made up of the lungs and the passages that lead to them. Air is breathed into the lungs‚ and oxygen from the air passes into the blood‚ which carries it around the body. The waste product‚ carbon dioxide‚ is then passed from the blood into the lungs and is breathed out. This all happens with the immense help of oxygen‚ to maintain a functional human body. However

important to teach the patient how uses the incentive spirometer after surgery and at home‚ so they too can be a part of monitoring their breathing patterns. It is also essential to let the patient know how a spirometer plays a significant role in a respiratory examination. When you first begin to instruct your patient you want to point out a few helpful hints that can aid in the process. First‚ you should tell the patient that they should check with their physician to make sure whether they should avoid

Cardiorespiratory fitness: Cardiorespiratory fitness (endurance)‚ a component of physical fitness is the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen during sustained physical activity. Usually expressed as measured or estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max). Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max ) is the body’s capacity to transport and use oxygen during a maximal exertion involving dynamic contraction of large muscle groups‚ such as during running or cycling. It is also known

Whitwell explained that bronchial dilation is characterized by the deficiency of elastin and disease advances by the destruction of muscle and cartilage. Due to the presence of lymphoid follicles in the bronchial wall‚ the inflammatory response occurs in the small airway. This inflammation causes the release of mediators such as proteases which in turn damage the large airway causing bronchial dilation. This further causes impaired mucus secretion which obstructs the airway due to retention of secretions
