Taking a Look at Respiratory Dysfunction

I didn’t know what to expect with my observation with the respiratory therapist. All what I knew about them was they floated around and gave patients aerosol breathing treatments. I learned that a respiratory therapist does a lot more than that. They have access to the Pixis, and are able to give patients any type of respiratory medication. They teach patients how to correctly use inhalers. They educate their patients on way they have to do breathing treatments, or why they have to take certain respiratory medications. They also do an examination to find out what type of breathing treatment or oxygen device is needed to help a patient get the oxygen they need, or help with expanding their lungs, etc

In recent years respiratory therapy has gained a vast amount of recognition. According to "The Bureau of Labor Statistics", the employment of respiratory therapists is projected to grow nineteen percent over the next seven years. Along with increasing advancements in technology and medical research, there is also an ever increasing demand for respiratory therapists worldwide. Breathing is something that every individual must do, however, there are sometimes altercations in doing so, and this is where respiratory therapy comes into effect. In order to learn more about this topic, I enrolled into a Writing and Research course at my college. Upon taking this course, I had the pleasure of shadowing a couple of respiratory therapists at

The topic you chose is extremely relevant to modern health care and should be taught more to military providers because I believe we are the worst offenders. At one point in my career, I personally witnessed a fellow IDC give treatments for STD upon request and no examination or verbal history. One of your sources covers the use of antibiotics for upper respiratory issues. I believe this article choice and the citation from it make your thesis clear and make the point to the reader. I think you did a fantastic job not only summarizing the articles but also combining with the flow of your paper to validate your point.

Sometimes when a patient is on the more common form of mechanical ventilation for an extended time or if the patient has undergone respiratory failure, their respiratory muscles have a tendency to become weak. With the use of this biphasic cuirass ventilation method they can have the opportunity to build and strengthen those muscles which, in return, can allow them to be weaned from the ventilator

The frequent use of accessory muscles can indicate a respiratory problem especially if the patient purses their lips and flare their nostrils when breathing (Publications, 2007).

Muscular Dystrophy is the progressive loss of muscle mass and consequent loss of strength. The respiratory complications of having muscular dystrophy includes difficulty breathing, trouble swallowing, weakening muscles of the heart, etc. When the mass of the muscles of inhalation and exhalation begins to weaken, the lungs cannot perform its job properly. This makes it harder to force air pressure within the lungs due to the lack of volume. When the appropriate amount of air pressure isn’t inhale the diaphragm cannot perform its job properly; the diaphragm is essential to inhalation. Exhalation influences the elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs, but if the inhalation process of breathing isn’t functioning properly that means the exhalation

Respiratory therapists are health care providers who specialize in treating diseases and disorders of the respiratory system. Respiratory therapists contribute to the care of patients by providing specialized therapies designed to aid in and improve ventilation, and thereby, oxygenation of the body’s cells and tissues. As many respiratory complications benefit from standardized therapies, it is often beneficial for respiratory therapist driven protocols to be implemented in health care facilities to assure appropriate therapy is delivered to all patients.

Consisting of respiratory circulation, upper and lower airways, and the chest wall the pulmonary system interchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between our blood and the environment we live in. The pulmonary system works by moving air into and out of the lungs by ventilation, then diffuses the gases between pleural spaces in the lungs and bloodstream. The act of ventilation is involuntary, being controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system. The ANS interprets impulses from the peripheral and central chemoreceptors and the lungs receptors and transmits impulses to the respiratory muscles to either contract or relax. Lastly, in conjunction with the cardiovascular system, blood is moved into and out of the capillary beds of the lungs and into the rest of the body?s tissues and organs by perfusion. Oxygen is transported with the blood by binding to the hemoglobin, without hemoglobin oxygen is unable to arrive to the cells. Interactions between receptors and impulses related to trauma, metabolic ailment, infection or disease will reduce the functions of the pulmonary system causing respiratory distress.

A lasting respiratory system response to exercise includes numerous physiological variations. These adaptations eventually result in an increase in inclusive effectiveness of the respiratory system to collect, transfer and distribute oxygen to the working muscles. The long-term respiratory function is frequently measured with a VO2 max test that calculates your body’s ability for oxygen ingesting during maximal exercise. Through exercise and training, the effectiveness of the respiratory system and VO2 max improve. Jeremy Hoefs

The revitalization of respiratory disorder particularly in the field of tuberculosis opposes health norm makers with difficult legal and ethical problems about the appropriate utilization of potential and assets to defend public health. This article depict that improvements of enlarge violations which including directly observed therapy, detainment of resistant patients, forcefully inject medicaments. This all prospects believe that to reduce risk factor of tuberculosis transmission to one person to another and prevention form spreading TB and fully treated respected community. In the treatment of TB legal and ethical norms or treatment protocols required to control misbehave with patients and their rights. These results major target consideration of control of government influences and liability. Furthermore, it was elegant equity of public health demand and civilian rights. When we focused on the medical treatment of TB which is variety of Antibiotic first line and second line therapy utilize. In many countries, people aware about the sign and symptoms of tuberculosis. Now a day’s tobacco smoking is main reason to develop respiratory disorder. Government endorses variety of program of awareness about poisonous substances which cause respiratory disease and how to prevent from these communicable diseases.

psychiatrically, it is called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and in layman’s term, it is known as the

The older adult population is facing a time in life when their health is slowly declining the older they get. However, this one older adult is doing all that he can to slow down that steady decline in his overall health. He stays physically active every day, completing tasks such as home construction, farming, auto mechanics, arts and crafts, as well as fiddling with electronic gadgets. At the young age of 66 years old, he has noticed how his grip strength has slightly lessened over the years but he does not let it stop him from being active. He has ongoing respiratory issues sustained from his early years of working in hazardous conditions. He has been on respiratory medications for nearly 20-30 years, yet at this age he knows how to control

There are has been many things since the 9/11 incident that have happened overtime. How people have become sick from the thick dust of smoke in the air when the plane hit the twin towers. Most of all I have learned that there are three different kinds of lung conditions that acquired in the disaster of terrorist attacks. Like the sarcoidosis it is an inflammation of an organ, typically the lung and lymph nodes. Sarcoidosis is a type of auto immune disease and can spread from one part of the body to another. (webmd) It can be found and diagnosed by a CT scan. Another type of lung problem is Emphysema which is lung disease caused by damage to the alveoli; the tiny air sacs in the lung where exchange of oxygen

According to Springer (2014) factors like young age, premature birth, immunodeficiency, chronic pulmonary, cardiac or neuromuscular diseases (e.g.unrepaired congenital heart disease and cystic fibrosis) and anatomic abnormalities increase the likeliness of respiratory failure in pediatric patients.
