Subject: Technical Object Description Description of an Incentive Spirometer
Introduction
The incentive spirometer is a medical plastic device that allows you when taking deep breath and exhaling, it expands your lungs. It consists of a mouthpiece, a flexible tubing, a piston, a breathing coach indicator, a yellow indicator and a barrel. It uses to assist patient after surgery or any person who want to improve their lungs function especially patient or any person who is restricted to be in bed for many days. It fortifies and exercises lungs and keeps them pure and dynamic. It helps with lung expansion after taking steady deep

Which respiratory volume was calculated? Breating rate, TV, ERV, and IRV. 5. What was the purpose of the nose clip? the nose clip was used for the lung function testing to prevent leakage with
The sales-value at splitoff method captures the benefits-received criterion of cost allocation and is the preferred method. The costs of processing a chicken are allocated to products in proportion to the ability to contribute revenue. Chicken Little’s decision to process chicken is heavily influenced by the revenues from breasts and thighs. The bones provide relatively few benefits to Chicken Little despite their high physical volume.
Patients had to measure their IC by using an incentive spirometer to measure static lung values. They performed this test for 20 minutes after inhaling 400 mg of salbutamol via a nebulizer. The patients were asked to use the FVC spirometer and told to take a deep breath and then to let the breath out passively. They were then asked to do the same maneuver 2 more times, but the closeness made the study choose the first attempt.
Prior to each spirometry session a 3Litre test syringe is used to calibrate the micro lab spirometer
As an information security officer for a small pharmacy there are a few things that need to be addressed. As with all companies it is top priority to make sure that the data that is input into the machines stays safe and to make sure that the people using the computers know it is their responsibility as well. As a security officer my supervisor has asked me to identify any inherent risks associated with the pharmacy and establish any physical and logical access control methods that will mitigate the risks identified.
An incentive spirometer is a device that our patients use to improve the function of their lungs. This main underlying principle is that breathing can be exercised to train the expansion of lungs capacity (Potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall, 2013). Patients who qualify for this intervention include those who have recently had a surgery, were under anesthesia, or have been placed on bed rest. Our main concern here is that these situations create opportunity for less activity within the lungs, which can put the patient at risk for pneumonia.
Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) is a hypothetical company, which has grown rapidly over the past year. GFI has invested in its network and designed it to be fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. However, although the
Many small companies use debt financing to achieve financial goals. Some choose to use debt consolidation financing. By having a wide range of financing options available, a company is able to get their business up and running faster. This paper will examine three options of financing for Scott Equipment. The aggressive, moderate, and conservative financing options will be calculated and compared in order to determine the best option for Scott Equipment.
3.) Draw a spirogram that depicts a person’s volumes and capacities before and during a significant cough.
Martin Wright developed the mechanical peak flow meter in 1959, it has been used to monitor serial lung function in asthmatics because it is inexpensive, compact, easy to use, and it provides an objective measure of lung function (Ayala et.al, 2014, p.84). Moreover, the peak flow meter has evolved since its creation almost 60 years ago, in terms of both size and precision. In addition, patients can be taught to use the peak flow meter and monitor their own lung function to determine when to use different medications as directed by an asthma action plan, which is constructed by the patient’s physician and or caregivers. A Peak flow meter is a portable

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.,
