5 first things to consider in an emergency
- airway 2. breathing 3. circulation 4. disability 5. exposure
Three most important things to consider when trying to adequately ventilate a patient
Ventilation, perfusion, compliance
respiratory physiology
structure, function, lung volumes, pulmonary circulation, resp gas exchange, regulation of ventilation
Define WORK OF BREATHING
The effort required to expand and contract the lungs
Define emphysema
When alveolar membranes break down and gas exchange doesn’t take place as well
Define chronic bronchitis
Inflammation and excess mucus in the airway passage.
