Angelica Dizon – The Lungs in Detail

THE LUNG REVEALED Analyze the structure and function the components of the lungs and airways, as well as the endocrine control mechanisms that influence pulmonary function.

OXYGEN DELIVERY and CONSUMPTION Learn how the lungs regulate acid/base balance, and what mechanisms protect your body from hypoxic injury.

COMMON PULMONARY DISORDERS – Learn the truth about acute pulmonary embolism, COPD and COPD.

LESS COMMON PULMONARY DISEASES – Find out the pathophysiologic causes of less common pulmonary diseases such as ARDS, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and severe pulmonary hypertension.

Your lungs slowly and quietly draw air. in Out and back several times per minute – sometimes slowly, other times quickly, but always with complete control. The lungs can become extremely complex organs to diagnose when things go wrong.

Did you ever wonder why?

• Patients with respiratory arrest complain of anxiety for up to 8 hours before they feel better.
• If your patient has difficulty breathing, pulse oximetry may be an option.
• What are abnormal breath sounds and what do they mean?

You may have difficulty explaining to patients how a pulmonary embolism affects lung function, or why some asthmatics can stop breathing. A mentor can help you get back to basics.

We learned anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. in We were only focused on passing the class in school. We learned, we memorized, but quickly forgot.

Knowing the basics of physiology, pathophysiology, and pulmonary anatomy will enable you to identify and treat patient complications quicker and more efficiently. Additionally:

• You will be able to communicate with your doctors and colleagues more effectively.
• You’ll feel more confident
• You will be able to provide more effective and safer care.
