[Clinical and experimental grounds for the method of spontaneous respiration with difficult exhalation (lung
Abstract:
Three methods of inducing difficulty in breathing out in spontaneous ventilation are described: by means of a valve attached to an intubation tube (I), with a polyethylene sac secured hermetically on patient's head and connected to a source of oxygen (2), and also with the help of a low-pressure chamber for patient's body (3). Experiments and clinical observations (40 therapeutic seances in 23 children aged from 1 day to 7 years) have evidenced that this method is mostly more advantageous than artificial ventilation, it is highly efficient in treatment of aspiration pneumonia and pulmonary edema, also it may be used with prophylactic purposes following aspiration, artificial ventilation, in the immediate postoperative period, and after hyperbaric oxygenation.

Assessment of Respiration
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD,...
Mechanism of Breathing II: Expiration
Expiration, or exhaling, is a complex physiological process that begins as the inspiratory muscles begin to relax. This relaxation triggers a series of events that epitomize the efficiency of the respiratory system.
