#1 Wrong Operation Doctor (ethics and integrity)

Hospitals find it hard to protect patients from wrong-site surgery.

Last year a jury returned a $20 million negligence verdict against

Arkansas Children’s Hospital for surgery performed on the wrong side

of the brain of a 15-year-old boy who was left psychotic and severely

brain damaged. Testimony showed that the error was not disclosed to

his parents for more than a year. The hospital issued a statement

saying it deeply regretted the error and had “redoubled our efforts to

prevent” a recurrence.

So, what happened? “Health care has far too little accountability for

results … . All the pressures are on the side of production; that’s how

you get paid,” said Peter Pronovost, a prominent safety expert and

medical director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Innovation in Quality

Patient Care. He added that increased pressure to quickly turn over

operating rooms has trumped patient safety, increasing the chance of

error.

Kenneth W. Kizer, who coined the term “never event” nearly a

decade ago when he headed the National Quality Forum, a leading

patient safety organization, said he believes reducing the number of

errors will require tougher reporting rules and increased

transparency.

#2 Cheney’s Staff Cuts Testimony on Warming

(Health care, Politics, and Trust)

The players and the politicians: Dick Cheney former Vice President

of the United States, Jason K. Burnett former EPA deputy associate

administrator, and Julie L. Gerberding, former director of the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention

Jason K. Burnett, former EPA deputy associate administrator, said In

a letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), that last October an official

from Cheney’s office ordered six pages to be edited out of the

testimony of Julie L. Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention.

Gerberding had planned to say that the “CDC considers climate

change a serious public health concern.”

#3 Surgeon Uses Ministry in Medical Practice

(Health care and religion)

DALLAS–At 83, Carl Smith faced quadruple bypass surgery and the

real possibility that he might not survive.

Within hours on this spring morning, Dr. Daniel Pool would

temporarily bring Smith’s heart to a stop in an attempt to circumvent

its blocked passages.

And to help his patient confront the uncertainty, Pool did something

unusual in his profession: He prayed with him.

The power of healing: Medicine and religion have had their day, and

they haven’t always been able to coexist. But as today’s medical

treatment becomes more holistic, doctors are increasingly taking

spirituality into account.

Respiratory  System

For animals to live, there must be an exchange of life-sustaining gases between them and their environment; this is the act of breathing or respiration. It happens when energy is released from body cells. It involves taking in oxygen and eliminating waste products such as carbon dioxide. The purpose of this process is to provide energy to cells and satisfy their metabolic needs. Organisms respire to fuel their living processes. Respiration can be aerobic, which uses glucose and oxygen (animals), or anaerobic that uses glucose only (plants).

Respiration happens through a network of organs that forms the respiratory system (Sollid & Nilsson, 2018). They include airways, nose, mouth, windpipe, and blood vessels. These organs work together to facilitate gas exchange between lungs and body tissues, acid-base balance, phonation, pulmonary defense, and metabolism (Seaton et al., 2008). The way through which air enters and leaves the body is called airway anatomy. It is alienated into the upper airway and lower airway. The nose and nasal passages, sinuses and pharynx, and upper part of vocal folds comprise the upper respiratory tract (Sollid & Nilsson, 2018). The lower tract contains the lower part of the larynx, trachea bronchi, and bronchioles. According to Sollid and Nilsson (20180, the system consists of various respiratory structures that complete the process. They include alveoli, which are tiny sacs used for gas exchanges, cells such as cilia cells located across the apical surface and facilitate the movement of mucus across the airway tract.

The main function of the respirator tract is to allow for gas exchange.

Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Lungs change sizes which changes by muscles (names them) this change in size also changes the  pressure in lungs with respect to atmosphere and Boyles law…

allows for oxygen to diffuse into capillaries and CO2 to diffuse into alveoli…

Asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergies are among the diseases that damage the respiratory system (Dugani et al., 2010). Asthma is a disease where the airwaves get damaged and produce extra mucus, making breathing difficult, triggers coughing, and causes chest pains. The disease affects the lungs’ airways ((((describe which parts)))), and their linings get into a hypersensitive state characterized by redness and swelling—inflammation? Also mucous build up? Obstruction?. Is smooth muscle affected? Broncho constriction?

What would this do to oxygen saturation? What is oxygen saturation? What is normal? What was the patients?

What are treatments for asthma, general class of medications and specific examples? Treat inflammation? Broncho dilators? Corticosteroids and how do they work. Etc..

Respiratory infections can make this worse and the patient was diagnosed with influenza? What are treatments? Rest and fluids, antivirals?

In conclusion, respiration is a critical process that means life to organisms happens by harmonizing various organs. Asthma is one of the chronic respiratory diseases by damaging the airways and produce extra mucus. More research should be put into dealing with respiratory illnesses that kill people every day in the world.
