Ventilatory Threshold The Ventilatory threshold was reached at 5 minutes or stage 3 for patient 92 C. The ventilatory threshold is important because it indicates the point at which the blood lactate acid increases non-linearly. It indicates that there is an increase in the lactate acid level in the blood as well as the excess carbon dioxide (Kenny et al., 2015). The increase in carbon dioxide will stimulate chemoreceptors to increase ventilation. The ventilatory threshold is related to the anaerobic threshold which refers to the increase in carbon dioxide and indicates that the body has shifted towards anaerobic metabolism (Kenny et al., 2015).
VO2max and lactate threshold An athlete with a high VO2max and a low lactate acid threshold will
hypotensive with a blood pressure of 82/44 mm Hg. His respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min
His Pulse ox of 94% reading is on the lower side, but still in normal range which indicated that there is less oxygen perfusion.
Another follow up ABG at 0100 shows a small improvement on the Ph to 7.18, the Pco2 became more acidotic moved to 53, the Po2 improved to 77 which shows he is oxygenating better but still hypoxic, his Hco3 acidosis is improving at a change to 19.8, and sating 91% now. The Pt is now breathing at a rate has come down to 10 BPM on his own above and beyond the vent. After consulting with the physician we changed the Vt to 600 and the pressure support to 20 and Cpap to 15. The Pt continued on these settings till 0415. The physician then made the change to Bi-level with the settings of a rate of 14 pressure support of 25, and an H/L pressure of 35/15. The Pt at this time is pulling a Vt of 745 and a spontaneous rate of 17 and still at 100% Fio2 and sating 92%. This is the point when the Pt makes the turn. The Bi-level or APRV was the proper setting for this Pt. He continued to improve over the next several days with his peek pressure climbing to 40. The Pt continues these settings and slowly improves and eventually weaned from the ventilator till the Pt no longer needs support.
The data have supported the hypothesis because it showed the results in the data. When the PCO2 is 40, the blood pH is 7.38 which it is normal that lead to have normal H+ in urine and HCO3- in urine. The PCO2 get lower to 30, the blood pH is 7.58 which it is high that lead to decreased in H+ in urine and elevated in HCO3- in urine. The PCO2 get higher to 60, the blood pH is 7.28 which it is low that lead to elevated in H+ in urine and decreased in HCO3- in urine. Respiratory alkalosis is when the PCO2 is lowered that cause a person to have hyperventilation that it is over breathing. It can happen if someone have panic attack, anxiety, or stress. The treatments are breathing exercise, practice relaxation, and exercise regularly to raise the carbon dioxide levels. Respiratory acidosis is when the PCO2 is raised that cause a person to have hypoventilation that is slow breathing. It can happen if someone have daytime drowsiness, fatigue, morning headaces,and bluish color on the skin. The treatments are losing weight, supplemental oxygen, and continuous positive airway pressure to decrease the carbon dioxide
➢ The patient may have no respiratory problems, but may still have inhaled carbon monoxide.
Both rapid, shallow breathing patterns and hypoventilation effect gas exchange. Arterial blood gases will be monitored and changes discussed with provider. Alteration in PaCO2 and PaO2 levels are signs of respiratory failure. Patient’s body position will be properly aligned for optimum respiratory excursion, this promotes lung expansion and improved air exchange. Patient will be suctioned as needed to clear secretions and maintain patent airways. The expected outcome is that the patient’s airway and gas exchange will be maintained as evidence by normal arterial blood gases (Herdman,
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is a measure of how much a person can breathe out in a single large breath. PEFR is used as a clinical tool to test the functionality of a patient’s lung, the severity of asthma or other respiratory illness symptoms and the best course of treatment for the patient. The PEFR reading will be lower when a person’s airways are constricted and should be at its highest when the patient is at full health. The PEFR is measured using a small handheld device known as a peak flow meter.
The altitude that this stage could happen in is between 5000 to 11400 ft.(3) "The body generally has the ability to stave off further effects of hypoxia by increasing the rate and depth of ventilation and cardiac output ".(1) The respiration rate, blood pressure, and the heart rate can rise up in this stage.(2) the arterial oxygen saturations in this stage is between 80 and 90 percent.(1)
B. heart rate greater than 100 beats/minute C. hyperventilation. D. respiratory rate greater than 20 breaths/minute 13. A client who has cervical cancer is scheduled to undergo
The nurse found Mrs Smith to be tachypnoeic, her respirations were recorded as 24 breaths per minute it was observed as being fast and it appeared that her accessory muscles were being used. Mrs Smith’s pallor also appeared flushed and her saturations were documented as 93%. The nurse used the stethoscope to check for wheeze the patient’s lungs were clear and chest rise was symmetrical. Mrs Smith was commenced on 100% oxygen through a non-rebreathe mask, oxygen as an intervention is necessary as Creed & Spiers (2010) highlight ‘metabolic demand for oxygen throughout the body is hugely increased by sepsis and is essential to ensure the supply of oxygen is maximized’ .The nurse monitored the patient closely because in her confused state the patient may try to remove the oxygen mask.
put your opinion in e.g. I believe this perspective can help an individual who has a fear or phobia by seeing why the individual is so scared. I also think that the behaviourist perspective can help measure changes of a behaviour. On the other hand I feel that the behaviourist perspective doesn’t take in the biological perspective.
Literature is. In the 1818 Mary Shelley novel Frankenstein, Prometheus Unbound, entails the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein as he unleashes his ambition to create life artificially through an unnatural creation who destroys his life. The myth Prometheus follows the story of a titan who bestowed the gift of fire on his creation, humans, only to be eternally tortured by nature. By reading Frankenstein alongside the Greek myth Prometheus, I have come to find a deeper understanding of Shelley’s critique of human nature and our inherent self-servance. I have also come to understand the destructive consequences of defying the natural law and to respect the boundaries placed on humanity by this natural order.
Assessment: the patient 's vital signs are 108/68, 125 beats per minute, respirations, even and non-labored at 14 breaths per minute, 92% on 2 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula, afebrile 98.5 F.
Cocaine shouldn’t be legalized in the United States. Cocaine cause so much damage to this world. Even if it’s a small part of the world. Like North America, it made just $110 billion to $130 billion just last year. Cocaine is a very dangerous and addicted drug. A huge money, making business. The fight on the cocaine war, money, and deaths will continue no matter what happens.
American Sci-Fi writer, Ted Chiang shows how a fictional species comes to grips with accepting the jarring reality of death being inevitable to their kind. In the short story"Exhalation", through his protagonist, Chiang develops his intertwining themes on life and acceptance by exhibiting them through the narrators perspectives as his curoitsty leads him to discovering the harsh truth.
