Q

What did David Pierson predict?

A

He predicted greater use of patient assessment protocols in disease management in all clinical settings, a more active role in palliative care, increasing emphasis on smoking cessation and prevention, and early detection and intervention in COPD, and an increase of using RTs in as home health coordinators and caregivers.

30
Q

Who is credited with the discovery of oxygen?

A

Joseph Priestley

31
Q

Who is the father of medicine?

A

Hippocrates

32
Q

What is aerosol therapy?

A

The administration of liquid or powdered aerosol particles via inhalation to achieve a desired therapeutic effect.

33
Q

What is airway management?

A

The use of various techniques and devices to establish and/or maintain a functional air passageway.

34
Q

The first health care specialists appeared in what year?

A

The appeared in the 1940s.

35
Q

How many breaths does a normal adult breathe per minute?

A

12-20

36
Q

What did Hutchinson observe?

A

He observed the relationship between height and lung volume and that vital capacity decreases with age, obesity, and lung disease.

37
Q

What is Mechanical Ventilation?

A

Refers to the use of a mechanical device to provide ventilatory support for patients.

38
Q

What is pulmonary function testing?

A

Diagnostic procedure(s) that provide objective, quantifiable measures of lung function.

39
Q

What is Respiratory Care?

A

The health care discipline that specializes in the promotion of optimum cardiopulmonary function and health.

40
Q

What will respiratory therapists do in the future of medicine?

A

They will focus on patient assessment, care plan development, protocol administration, disease management and rehabilitation, and patient and family education, to include tobacco education and smoking cessation.

41
Q

What do Respiratory Therapists do?

A

Apply scientific principles to prevent, identify, and treat acute or chronic dysfunction of the cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory care includes the assessment, treatment, management control, diagnostic evaluation, education, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the cardiopulmonary system.

42
Q

What is in store for the future of respiratory therapy?

A

There will be an increase in demand for respiratory care because of advances in treatment and technology; increases in and aging of the population; and increases in the number of patients with asthma, COPD, and other cardiopulmonary diseases.

43
Q

When did aerosolized medication for the treatment of asthma begin?

A

1910

44
Q

When did the first therapeutic administration of oxygen occur and when was it established, and when was it routinely used?

A

It first occurred in 1798. The use of oxygen to treat respiratory disease became established by the 1920s, and oxygen was used routinely in hospitals by the 1940s.

45
Q

When was the iron lung used extensively?

A

The iron lung was used extensively during the Polio epidemics of the 1940s and 1950s.

46
Q

What ancient figure is likely to have recorded the first respiratory physiology experiment?

A

Aristotle

47
Q

What empire established measures to prevent and control epidemics?

A

Roman
