INTRODUCTION

1. Respiratory therapy is used in the diagnosis,
   treatment, management and care of patients
   cardiopulmonary problems.
2. Increasing numbers of people suffering from
   respiratory diseases need complex treatment and
   rehabilitation, creating a need for specialists
   to assist doctors and nurses.
3. As a result, respiratory therapists, also known
   as respiratory care practitioners, have become an
   essential part of the healthcare team.
   Respiratory therapists work under the direction
   of physicians and follow their prescriptions for
   treating patients.
4. Their duties range from giving temporary relief
   to persons with asthma, pulmonary edema, or
   emphysema to giving emergency care for
   asphyxiation, heart failure, stroke, drowning or
   shock.
5. Respiratory therapists are among the first
   persons called to work with doctors and other
   specialists to give treatments for acute
   respiratory conditions, head injuries and drug
   poisoning.

NEBULIZER

• You may receive medicine through a nebulizer
  treatment, also called a breathing treatment or
  aerosol treatment.
• A nebulizer changes liquid medicine into a fine
  mist to let you breathe it into your airways.
• Most often the breathing treatments are given to
  help you breathe easier.
• How often you have a treatment depends on how
  short of breath you are, the amount of wheezing
  you have and the type of medicine you take.

Nebulizers Types

• Nebulizers are two types. They are
• (b)
• Electrical Nebulizer
  Pneumatic
  Nebulizer

HUMIDIFIERS

• During inspiration, well - vascularized mucous
  membranes inside the nose and mouth released
  moisture to passing respiratory gas is called
  Humidifiers.
• Humidifiers are currently available for this
  purpose are Active Passive.

ASPIRATORS

1. The purpose of aspirator for use in hospitals,
   clinics, physicians offices, nursing home
   facilities and home care. This durable unit meets
   the need for controlled vacuum regulation up to
   635 mm Hg of vacuum with a flow rate of 40 lpm at
   open flow.
2. The aspirator has a high-impact plastic housing
   and powerful rotary vane pump, reduced operating
   noise level, and weighs less than 15 pounds. Each
   unit comes with either a 1500 ml disposable
   canister or a 1200 ml reusable glass bottle, a
   suction tubing kit, and three hydrophobic
   bacteria filters.

INHALATORS

• A metered dose inhaler (MDI) is a handheld
  aerosol device that uses a propellant to deliver
  the therapeutic agent. MDIs include a pressurized
  metal canister that contains the following
• Pharmacological agent in suspension or solution.
• Surfactant
• Propellant
• Metering valve
• The canister is housed in a plastic sleeve that
• has a mouthpiece for drug delivery.

REASPIRATION

VENTILATORS

• Respiration -
• Respiration are classified into two kinds of
  Respirations.
• The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide that
  takes place between the alveoli and circulating
  blood is called as Pulmonary Respiration.
• The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
  between cells and circulating blood is called as
  Cellular Respiration
• Similarly both respirations are called breathing.

Ventilators -

The patient is not breathing or that his
breathing is inadequate, you will need to provide
artificial ventilation.
Ventilation is the breathing of air or oxygen.
Artificial ventilation, also called positive
pressure ventilation, is forcing air or oxygen
into the lungs when a patient has stopped
breathing or has inadequate breathing.

SUMMARY

• Respiratory therapy works as physician
  extenders to evaluate, treat, and care for
  patients with lung and circulatory disorders.
