There are numerous different challenges that the paramedic will face in attempting to keep an airway patent. These challenges vary from patient to patient depending on their condition. One challenge in keeping a patent airway the paramedic will face is trying to maintain the airway of a trauma patient. Trauma patients make it difficult to maintain an airway due to the traumatic damage, especially if it has affected the face and neck regions.

Our country’s current economic crisis is drastically affecting not just individuals, but businesses and organizations as well, especially when it comes to those that are non-profit. Funding for necessary programs held by non-profit organizations, such as Moses Cone Behavioral Health, have been cut annually, making it more difficult for their institutions to prosper. Due to these substantial declines in donations and funds, local volunteers are needed now more than ever. I chose to volunteer at Moses Cone Behavioral Health Hospital to help combat this loss in funding.
Forty-nine states require licensing.In order to take the entry-level examination for certification, which is required by the National Board for Respiratory Care, respiratory students must get at least an associate's degree and a certificate of completion.

Many colleges and universities, vocational–technical institutes, and the Armed Forces offer education and training programs. Most programs will award RT’s with an associate’s or bachelor’s degree.All programs have clinical classes that allow therapists to earn credit and gain supervised experience treating patients. According to the American Association for Respiratory Care, there are 381 associate programs throughout the country, 57 bachelor’s degree programs and three master’s programs(home) (business) (explore).
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a bacterial infection that occurs in the lower respiratory system within the first 48 hours of endotrachal intubation (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, & Camera, 2011). Although any hospital patient is susceptible to pneumonia, ventilator dependent patients are at the highest risk of acquiring pneumonia. The purpose of this paper is to identify the risk factors, incidences, and preventions of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) using a quantitative research study performed in Malaysia. “The aim of this
In the course of my time at Union County College, I was able to participate in measures that aided my community and those in need. I took part in the donation and creation of care bags which were donated to the Salvation Army. This initiative was made by AESNJ as part of their statewide drive to help those who lack the resources needed to obtain day to day necessities such as hygienic supplies, socks, tissues and other essentials. Additionally, I made a financial contribution which went towards aiding Syrian children. Helping individuals in need encouraged me to participate in Strides against Breast Cancer a walkathon which generated money for women whose lives were impacted by cancer. The financial donations assisted women who were unable
The graduation rates of nonwhites is significantly lower than whites. Focus on this problem has mainly centered on students who live in urban centers. This higher dropout rate exists in rural areas too. However, graduation rates for rural areas are higher (87%) than in urban (83%; Grierson, 2018). In rural areas, only 77% of nonwhites graduate in four years and in some states like Alaska, graduation rates are half than of the national average. Those who are able to get a high school diploma, only 53% go to college. Again, this rate is similar to the rate of nonwhites in urban centers. The national average of graduation is 69% and upper class students from schools which predominately white attend college at a 72% rate. Further, 48% of young people (ages 18 to 24) from urban areas attend college as compared to 29% from rural populations.
Ventilator - associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second most common hospital acquired infection (HAI) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates for ventilated patients in intensive care units (Bingham, Ashley, Jong, & Swift, 2010). The VAP increases patients’ mortality rates, length of stay and hospital costs (Hiner, Kasuya, Cottingham, & Whitney, 2010). The VAP is the leading causes of death due to nosocomial infections and the

The spirit and power it takes to work in medical field I have that, but along with what I was convey to be and want to do make me even more of a positive element to the field.
"Compared to growing up in affluent neighborhoods, growing up in neighborhoods with high levels of poverty and unemployment reduces the chances of high school graduation from 96 percent to 76 percent for black children," said Wodtke, a doctoral student who works with Harding at the U-M Institute for Social Research (ISR). "The impact on white children is also harmful, but not as large, reducing their chances of graduating from 95 percent to 87 percent”.
I am very active in this organization and this is reflective of my participation on the Prytanean board for two consecutive years. The first position that I held on this board was Fundraising Chair. Although my primary goal was to raise money for this Womens Honors Society, I was more focused on establishing and maintaining relationships with Davis and Sacramento organizations alike. As a result, I was able to fundraise over $500 through volunteering at various campus events
Not only do I contribute by raising funds, but I also devote my time babysitting the children in the shelter while their parents search for jobs. As many other individuals carry along with their busy schedules, I am still able to manage my time and help out my community. It’s a simple task of devoting a couple hours every so often, but also one that many others fail to take advantage of. It is one in which I do regularly, while most others do not.

In this situation one is left with the dilemma of the difficult/correct choice and the easier/wrong choice, or so it would appear. Obviously not saying anything could cost the doctor her job as well as endanger the pilot and any passengers he may carry. On the other hand, without retirement benefits the pilot may not be able to afford the treatment and medication he needs, yet again endangering the pilot.
