Airway management for the Respiratory Therapy Student

I would like to begin by thanking everyone for being so patient with me, while I've been on a moderate hiatus.  On this blog, we will see responses from Respiratory Care Students, regarding particular modalities of airway care and respiratory infections we see frequently in the hospital setting.

This is the assignment.  The students are required to describe the symptoms of the following respiratory infections, and recommend treatment.

Adenovirus

RSV

Corona Virus

In addition, the students are required to explain to the general public, the meaning of:

Airway Clearance

Mechanical Ventilation

Bronchial Hygiene

Hyperinflation Therapy

Remember to always wash your hands!


Ready, Set, GO!
