Always arrange for an ABC fire extinguisher availability at home, in the event a fire accident was to happen. Have yourself and family members trained at operating the fire extinguishers based on the source of fire. Get yourself listed on the priority listing, for services especially during times of power breakdown or repairs needed [...]

Oxygen Precautions-1

Patient was educated on oxygen precautions as follows: Avoid using any material flammable, such as aerosol cans, cleaning fluids, alcohol products, and petroleum products, near the oxygen tank. Maintain at least 10-meter distance from any open source of flame or potential source of spark, such as stoves, candles, fireplaces, hair dryers, and electric razors. Follow strict compliance with no smoking instructions indoor. Post no smoking instructions in all the rooms of the house. Educate all [...]

Mechanism of Inspiration

Patient was educated on mechanism of inspiration as follows: One respiratory cycle involves an act of inspiration, which is breathing in and an act of expiration, which is breathing out. The mechanism of breathing in and out basically depends on the pressure changes that occur in the chest, in relation to the environment outside. Contraction of the diaphragm will draw the muscle into the abdomen, thus leading to increase in the space of chest cavity. [...]

Diaphragm and Control of Respiration

Patient was educated on role of diaphragm in controlling respiration as follows: Diaphragm is the major muscle that aids the process of respiration. Under resting conditions, this is a dome-shaped muscle separating the chest and abdominal cavities, with the hollow towards the abdomen. Contraction of the diaphragm will draw the muscle into the abdomen and the dome shaped muscle flattens out during this process. This leads to an increase in the space of chest cavity. [...]

Phases and Mechanism of Respiration

Patient was educated on phases and mechanism of respiration as follows: The process of normal quiet respiration involves 2 phases. Inspiration or breathing-in Expiration or breathing-out Inspiration is an active process that requires energy for contraction of muscles of respiration. Expiration is a passive process of relaxation of these muscles and does not require any expenditure of energy. Inspiration is a phase of respiration that is brought on by contraction of the chief muscles of [...]
