Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Barbara Joley is cyanotic due to a bus accident. Her heart was beating fast but she was not respiring.
Characters in the case:
Barbara Joley.
Adequate information:
The patient’s pulse was examined to be running fast and thready. The lady suffers an injury in the C2 column of the vertebra.
To determine:
The cause for the cessation of breathing by examining the peculiar positioning of the head.

Students have asked these similar questions
Callisto has managed to escape Xena, and therefore Xena decides to rest for the night in a small but deep cave at a high altitude in the mountains.
Explain how the rate of gas exchange between Xena’s alveolar air and blood changes when she moves to high altitude and describe one possible compensatory change that occurs in her body as the consequence.
A spinal cord injury at C2 results not only in paralysis but also in a lifetime on a respirator. Why does an injury this high affect ability to breathe?
Callisto has managed to escape Xena, and therefore Xena decides to rest for the night in a small but deep cave at a high altitude in the mountains. Describe the changes in Xena’s intrathoracic and intrapleural volume and pressure during quiet inspiration. Explain how these changes occur and describe their effect upon airflow.
Explain how the rate of gas exchange between Xena’s alveolar air and blood changes when she moves to high altitude and describe one possible compensatory change that occurs in her body as the consequence.

She is worried that if she takes slow, deep breaths (tidal volume = 650 mL, breathing rate = 11/min), the pile of leaves will move up and down, and Xena will notice her. Therefore, she takes rapid, shallow breaths (tidal volume = 210 mL, breathing rate = 25/min).
