Inhalation therapies are ordered for various stages of diseases which are causing progressive or sudden respiratory failure.
What produces respiratory depression?
Narcan (naloxone) is used to reverse the respiratory depression caused by opiates. Otherwise, the treatment is to treat the underlying cause and to support the respiration with oxygen and, if needed, mechanical ventilation ("breathing machines").
What is respiratory depression?
This occurs when respiratory drive is lower and breaths per minute decrease - to the point that added oxygenation (or even respiratory support on a ventilator) is required. A number of conditions and diseases can cause respiratory depression. Common conditions include severe respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, exacerbation of COPD, among others.
What organ protect the lungs and support breathing?
There is no organ responsible for protecting the lungs (one may argue the skin), but the ribcage plays a large (if not the largest) role in protecting the lungs.The diaphragm is the primary muscle for breathing and the intercostal muscles (between ribs) are secondary respiratory muscles.
What conditions is endotracheal intubation used to treat?
respiratory arrest; respiratory failure; airway obstruction; need for prolonged ventilatory support; Class III or IV hemorrhage with poor perfusion; severe flail chest or pulmonary contusion
What is a ventilator?
A ventilator is a medical device that helps provide mechanical breathing support to patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. It assists with delivering oxygen into the lungs and removing carbon dioxide from the body. Ventilators are commonly used in intensive care units for patients with respiratory failure.
What support does the respiratory System provide for the cell?
the respiratory system provides oxygen for them
Are there any high schools that support you studying in this university?
