Pulmonary Health
Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart to the lungs and back again. Ask questions about how to maintain a healthy heart here.

The greatest volume of air that can be expelled when a person performs rapid, forced expiration.
How should one exhale when on oxygen to release c02 with nose cannula hook up?
You exhale as you would normally would. The high levels of carbon dioxide will move towards areas where it is lower. Oxygen will move into wards where that is lower as well. They will do an exchange.
What is a trick on how to remember the formula for respiration?
Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy Transfer).Simple!
N.B Energy transfer in brackets as it is not a substance...
What is ment by clinical sign of a diease?
When u have lab results, xrays, blood pressure results, etc..any test or procedure that documents evidence.
If mom is A plus can the dad be RH plus?
The blood types of the parents are largely irrelevant in terms of their ability to achieve conception of a child.
What are the three stages of human respiration?
1 - INSPIRATION the taking in of ambient air (about 20% oxygen) into the lungs for processing
2 - VENTILATION the exchange of oxygen through the alveoli into the blood and carbon dioxide out from the blood through the alveoli into the lungs for EXPIRATION out of the body
3 - Transporting the inspired and ventilated oxygen through the arterial system to nourish all of the body's cells which is the third and final phase of the respiratory cycle called PERFUSION
What is caused by a transpulmonary pressure greater than zero?
When the transpulmonary pressure is greater than zero water is forced out of the lung tissue and collects in the space between the lungs and the chest wall. This is known as an transudative pleural effusion.
What is a pulmonary outflow tract?
It is your "PULMONARY ARTERY" and your "PULMONARY VEIN." There purpose is to carry De-Oxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood back to the heart. Your "Pulmonary Artery" carried De-Oxygenated Blood from the heart to the lungs (Your "Pulmonary Artery" is the ONLY ARTERY that carries De-Oxygenated Blood, all the other arteries carry Oxygenated Blood to the body.) Your "Pulmonary Vein" carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. (Your Pulmonary Vein is the ONLY VEIN that carries Oxygenated blood back to the heart, all other veins carry De-Oxygenated Blood to the Heart.)
HOW IT WORKS:
1) De-Oxygenated Blood enters the heart from the rest of your body though the Superior or Inferior Vena Cava into the Right Atria of the heart.
2) The De-Oxygenated Blood in the right atria is Pumped though a valve called the "Tricuspid Valve" into the Right Ventricle.
3) The De-Oxygenated Blood in the Right Ventricle is Pumped though another valve called the "Pulmonary valve" into the Pulmonary Artery where is is brought to the Lungs.
4) The Blood is Oxygenated in the Lungs and put into the Pulmonary Vein to be brought back to the heart.
5) The Oxygenated Blood enters the Heart through the Left Atria.
6) The Oxygenated Blood in the Left Atria passes thought a valve called the "Mitral Valve" into the Left Ventricle.
7) The Oxygenated Blood in the Left Ventricle is pumped though a valve called the Aortic Valve into the Aorta.
8) The Oxygenated Blood in the Aorta is Pumped out though your arteries to the rest of the body.
Your heart is a Big Muscular Pump.
Your Pulmonary tract is the reason your blood has oxygen it it. (The Hemoglobin in your blood carries the oxygen.)
Is death by pulmonary edema the same as drowning?
You do not have interstitial compartment of the fluid in case of the pulmonary circulation. So that air is present in the very tiny alveoli. They are there in millions. Oxygen and carbon bi oxide is exchanged here almost instantly. In case of the pulmonary oedema, you get fluid here in the alveoli. The condition that is very similar to which you get the drowning. In case of the pulmonary oedema the patient is literally get drowned in his own body fluid.
What is oligofructose complex?
From Neil Licht,wedeliverwellnessgroup@verizon.net
Here is the definition and medical catagories under which oligofructose complex is catagorized. It is a patented method that can deliver up to 85% apsorbability of vitamins andminerals into our bloodstreams,something critical for effectiveness but often ellusive in vitamin/mineral supplements.

08/22 Major news in vitamin research
American researchers have made a major breakthrough in the world of nutrition. Scientists have discovered that most vitamins, including the world's best-selling brands, are poorly absorbed and even worse, they prevent both natural and commercial anti-oxidant supplements (vitamins that people take to reduce the risk of serious diseases like cancer) from working -- until now.
Dr. Garry R. Buettner, the head of the Free Radical Research Institute, from the University of Iowa, considered the world's number one authority in the field of free radical research, made the discovery along with researchers from Melaleuca Inc., considered one of the world's leading wellness companies, and a registered pharmaceutical company.
Dr. Buettner and a team of scientists tested the world's leading vitamin supplements. According to the leading wellness company President and CEO Frank VanderSloot, the team of researchers discovered that the process used by almost every vitamin manufacturer prevents anti-oxidants from working in the small intestine -- rendering both the vitamins and the anti-oxidants useless.
VanderSloot went on to tell close to 10,000 customers at the company's annual convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, and tens of thousands more by webcast and teleconference, that the leading wellness company has filed for a patent on a new discovery -- oligofructose complex -- that is now the world's only vitamin process that accomplishes two things: (1) proper mineral absorption, and (2) does not destroy the value of anti-oxidants.
Until the announcement, The leading wellness company had been the only company in the world with a patent on vitamin and mineral absorption. That patent, commonly called fructose compounding, expired recently and the company has replaced it with its new oligofructose complex.
VanderSloot was careful to point out that the company's new vitamin line does not prevent nor cure any disease. However, he emphasized that there are thousands upon thousands of research papers from the around the world that, for decades, have proven the cancer-fighting and disease-fighting nature of anti-oxidants. The challenge, until now, has been to prove or disprove the absorbability and effectiveness of anti-oxidant supplements, a multi-billion dollar industry, and the role traditional vitamins play.

How do you perform CPR on a ventilator patient?
When a patient on a ventilator requires CPR, medical staff normally disconnect the patient from the ventilator and deliver the rescue breaths manually with an AMBU bag. The AMBU bag is attached to the endotrachial or trachial tube; which is the site where the ventilator tubing was originally connected.
Compressions can be performed as ordered by the staff member in charge; newer patient beds can become firm by pressing a button. Otherwise, it is common practice to place a backboard under the patient to allow for more effective compression delivery.

What does the medical abbreviation CRP HS mean?
CRP HS is not a blood disorder; it's a chemical in the blood (C reactive protein).
How long can a person live with a paralyzed diaphragm?
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SHORT OF BREATH AND FAINTED EASILY, HOWEVER; WHEN MY PHYSICIAN ADVISED ME, DURING A CATHERIZATION FOR MY HEART, THAT MY DIAPHAGM WAS PARALYZED. I WAS IN A VERY SERIOUS HEAD ON CRASH WHEN I WAS 16, THE ONLY Survivor; BUT SUSTAINED MASSIVE INTERNAL AND BONE INJURIES; COULD THAT HAVE CAUSED THE SITUATION. I ALSO HAD A VERY HARD CHILDBIRTH AT AGE 28.
