Spirometry is one method that we used to measure the volumes difference in amount of air breathed in or out and how quickly the air is inhaled and exhaled from the mouth while breathing through a mouthpiece. In this present study, we measured the lungs volumes during normal breathing and with the maximum forced expiratory flow rates. For this experiment, we use the Phipps and bird wet spirometer to measured Tidal Volume (TV), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), and Vital Capacity (VC). The purpose of this experiment is to determine various lung volumes for an individual and to compare them to average lung volumes.

Part 1 Some of the common things that trigger an asthmatic episode are cigarette smoke, exercise, allergens, sudden temperature change, excitement or stress, cold air, and odors. Some factors that could have affected her is going upstairs, going from standing to sitting position, the dust and allergens, the smell of coffee and the teddy bear as well.

The potential space between the instinctive and parietal pleurae is known as the intrapleural space. The intrapleural and intrapulmonary pressures fluctuate amid ventilation. The intrapulmonary pressure is subatmospheric amid inspiration and more prominent than the atmospheric pressure amid expiration. Pressure changes in the lungs are delivered by varieties in lung volume, as per the opposite relationship between the volume and pressure of a gas portrayed by Boyle's law. The mechanics of ventilation are affected by the physical properties of the lungs.

Understanding respiratory volumes, capacities, and measurements will help me perform my job as a medical assistant because they are significant being a medical assistant. First of all, when the patient is on the bed, I will measure the respiratory rate while he/she is at relaxation. In the next, I will observe the rise and fall of the victim 's chest and count the number of respirations for one full minute. Then, I will record the current time, respiratory rate and respiratory characteristics. Spirometry is used diagnose conditions that affect breathing such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.

Hyaline membranes help to the development of fibrosis and atelectasis (collapse) essential to decrease in gas exchange capability and lung dysfunction. These changes cause the lungs to become stiff, patient work hard to inspire. Hypoxemia and the stimulation of juxtacapillary receptors in the stiff lung parenchyma leading to increase respiratory rate and decrease in tidal volume. Breathing irregular increase carbon dioxide removal,

When taking care of a patient with a chest tube it is important to assess the patient lungs sound, breathing effectiveness by pulse oximetry and pain, if patient is in pain administered pain medication as prescribed. It is important for the nurse to educate the patient about deep breathing exercise, cough, and how to use an incentive spirometry. It is essential for the dressing to remain intact according to the Dr. order or per facility policy. The site needs to be monitored for any sign and symptoms of infection or excessive bleeding.

In order to assess the efficacy of patients respiratory effort RSBI is calculated from the ratio of tidal volume to the respiratory rate. If the respiratory rate is 12 and the tidal volume is 400 RSBI=12/0.4=30. An RSBI less than 80-100 is considered ready for liberation. However, this index should not be the only

Lung volume and lung capacity are two measurements of respiratory health and measured during pulmonary functions tests. It is show the physical condition of the lungs. Pulmonary ventilation, or breathing, is the process of air flowing into the lungs during inspiration (inhalation) and out of the lungs during expiration (exhalation). Air flows because of pressure differences between the atmosphere and the gases inside

Cell Respiration Lab Research Question What is the optimal temperature for germinating pea-seeds where the rate of respiration is the greatest? Background Information Cell Respiration refers to the biochemical process conducted by the cells of an organism that combines glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, along with two by-products, water and carbon dioxide. The equation representing this chemical reaction is shown below. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O

The aim of the experiment was to determine if posture affects breathing in brass player. The subjects breathing while standing were compared while sitting in four different position (upward sloping, downward sloping, reclining and sitting erect flat). The breathing was measured using a spirometer along with other measurements such as muscle activity. The results showed that forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume(FEV) and positive expiratory pressure (PEP) were significantly greater while standing compared to four sitting positions. The subjects were also asked to play a note for the maximum duration at different posture.

Total lung capacity (TLC) is the measure of how much air is in the lungs after a breath. Then the amount of tidal volume (TV) is how much air a person takes in during inspiration. An individual exhales naturally, but can also make themselves breath faster. When an individual forces an expiration it can be measured by forced expiratory volume (FCV), which is how much air a person forces out during their breath. (RV) which is known as residual volume is how much air remains in the lungs after a forced expiration.

INTRODUCTION A gas chromatograph (GC) can be utilized to analyze the contents of a sample quantitatively or in certain circumstances also qualitatively. In the case of preparative chromatography, a pure compound can be extracted from a mixture. The principle of gas chromatography can be explained as following: A micro syringe is used to inject a known volume of vaporous or liquid analyte into the head or entrance of a column whereby a stream of an inert gas acts a carrier (mobile phase). The column acts as a separator of individual or chemically similar components.
