What condition is the progressive loss of lung function that is commonly attributed to long term smoking?
The condition is called emphysema (literally, swelling). The condition is part of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and results from the destruction of the supporting structures of the lung. This prevents the normal exchange of oxygen in the alveoli. Smoking introduces tar residue into the lungs that causes significant tissue damage.
What is the prognosis for smoke inhalation?
Although the outcome depends of the severity of the smoke inhalation and.any accompanying.injuries, with prompt medical treatment,the prognosis for recovery is good. some patients may experience chronic pulmonary problems following smoke inhalation.
What is minimal voltage criteria for LVH may be normal variant?
Pulmonary disease pattern
What does pulmonary vascular is unremarkable mean?
Pulmonary vascular means that the blood vessels in the heart and lung region looks normal and no problems were found. If something was found then it is possible to have pulmonary vascular disease.
What is the ratio for normal breathing?
For a normal healthy person a 1:2 or 1:1.5 Inspiratory to Expiratory ratio is expected. Person's with obstructive pulmonary disease processes (COPD, active Asthma reaction) may have a prolonged exhalation 1:3, 1:4 etc. Pulmonary Fibrosis (stiff lung) and damage to certain nueral receptors can cause prolonged inspiration. I/E ratios are manipulated with intubated ventilated patients to achieve a variety of outcomes. Cheers!

Is pelvic inflammatory disease life threatening?
no, Pelvic inflammatory disease in not life threatening.
What characteristics of normal lung tissue are missing from diseased tissue?
the two main characteristics of normal lung tissue that may be affected in diseased individuals are either Compliance or Elasticity. compliance is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it to expand elasticity is the characteristic of lung tissue that allows it go back to its former shape and size. elasticity is usually affected in chronic obstructive conditions like emphysema compliance is usually affected in restrictive lung dysfunctions like pulmonary fibrosis.
Does Hemoglobin level rises above the normal range?
Hemoglobin levelscan rise above the normal range, and it can be indicative of a number of disorders, such as congenital heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis, or an increase level of erythopoietin.
Can pulmonary fibrosis be reversed to normal?
No.
Give atleast 5 uses of oxygen most especially in the medical field?
Compressed Gaseous Oxygen (Medical Grade) is used for treatment of Hypoxia or Hypoxemia, where levels of oxygen in the blood are below normal or life-threatening. Many conditions, such as Asthma, Bronchitis, Pulmonary Edema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy. Hyperbaric Oxygen treament, where a patient is placed in a pressurized chamber to drive oxygen deeper into the tissues, is used to treat things such as certain non-healing wounds, decompression sickness (the bends), carbon monoxide poisoning, air or gas embolism, necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacterial infection) and radiation related osteo-necrosis.
