Dynamic Alone Test And The Pulmonary System

Data: Pulmonary function testing dated 2010 showed moderately severe obstruction with positive bronchodilators response. Normal lung volumes. Evidence of air trapping. Severely reduced diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide.

The respiratory system is a complex organ structure of the human body anatomy, and the primary purpose of this system is to supply the blood with oxygen in order for the blood vessels to carry the precious gaseous element to all parts of the body to accomplish cell respiration. The respiratory system completes this important function of breathing throughout inspiration. In the breathing process inhaling oxygen is essential for cells to metabolize nutrients and carry out some other tasks, but it must occur simultaneously with exhaling when the carbon dioxide is excreted, this exchange of gases is the respiratory system's means of getting oxygen to the blood (McGowan, Jefferies & Turley, 2004).

Moving on to Part 2 of the respiratory lab, the experiment was designed to observe the difference between length of breath-hold and ventilation type. These ventilation types consist of normal breathing, re-breathing, and hyperventilating. The second component to part 2 was to see a correlation between the

There are different factors that affect lung volumes such as taller people and people who live in higher altitudes often have larger volumes compared to shorter people or people who live at lower altitudes. Other variables such as age, gender and weight also have an effect on the lung function. As a person gets older not only does the natural elasticity of the lungs

Interestingly, lung function tests performed today, although revealing normal baseline spirometry, do indicate significant bronchodilator response whilst gas transfer has improved compared to the test in April.

When conducting the experiment two factors that could have affected my spirogram results are consciousness and visual perception. Our conscious can control our regular lung volumes and capacities by increasing or decreasing. This is because the mind is calculating the amount of inspiration and expiration. However, our breathing should be automatic and normal. Our visual perception when measuring the diameter of the balloon could also be inaccurate. This is because an inflated balloon is spherical shaped and does not directly lean against the ruler. Thus, our group had to go through many trials to get reasonable measurements.

Spirometry is basically an instrument to measure the air capacity of your lungs. People take a spirometer to check their lungs. A pulmonary function

After a noninvasive respiratory testing the patient vital signs, lung sounds and Pso2 level need to be monitored. Also after an invasive respiratory testing the nurse need to monitor the patient vital signs per Dr. order or facility policy and listen for absent or reduced lung sounds. Assess for drainage, complications and infection. The nurse needs to report any change in condition to the patient

Chronic Pathophysiology effects the alveolar ventilation due to limited chest wall expansion, structural changes in the lungs, and the air being obstructed. PaCO2 rises over time

Spirometry is the most popular lung function test. The patient performs a maximal inhalation and then forcefully exhales as quickly and as long as they are able. The spirometer measures the volume of the air exhaled by patients. These measurements are taken at two intervals. The first measurement is the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), records the volume of air exhaled after one second. The second measurement is taken at the point where the patient has fully exhaled the volume of inhaled air; this measurement is the forced vital capacity (FVC) (Harpreet Ranu et al.,

They were informed and ready to answer questions from the class. However, they did realize that they have missed a control group until they were faced with that question. Like any good scientist, they modified their experiment and admitted that the results would be stronger of they added that one control group.

Lung capacity is the volume of the most air you can exhale after fully breathing in. Based on that I will experiment with two kind of subjects in order to measure their lung capacity and get conclusions about the

Monitoring of intake and output in order to identify and evaluating the negative balance that is more output than input as evidence of pulmonary crackles, distended bilateral jugular vein and decrease breath sound

In the course of the experiment, the body weight of rats was measured every 7 days. After sacrifice, the lung index was expressed as the ratio of wet lung weight to body weight (g).

Normally, based on their level of understanding, students will choose to either work as a group or complete the assignment individually. After the students complete their lab report, we discuss the activity, analyzing the process and answering any questions.
