Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Barbara Joley met with a bus accident and was cyanotic. Her heart was beating fast but she was not respiring. Her pulse was examined to be running fast and thready. She suffers an injury in the C2 column of the vertebra.
Characters in the case:
Barbara Joley.
Adequate information:
The patient’s 7 to 9 ribs were fractured, the right thorax was compressed, and the right lung was atelectasis.
To determine:
The relation between atelectasis and the recorded injuries.

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).
