Activity Description

Respiration, a physiological process, involves the exchange of gases between the body and the external environment. A meticulously balanced system within the body ensures the orderly process of respiration, delivering sufficient oxygen to tissues for energy production and efficiently removing carbon dioxide. Despite its seamless nature, respiration is vulnerable to abnormalities challenging its efficiency. Respiratory disorders can significantly impact a patient's life by impairing gas exchange, leading to reduced oxygen supply and a buildup of carbon dioxide. This can result in symptoms like dyspnea, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance. This activity reviews various respiratory disorders, underlying mechanisms, and clinical manifestations. The vital role of an interprofessional healthcare team in evaluating and treating patients affected by these conditions is emphasized.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify various abnormal breathing patterns, discerning subtle differences and connecting each pattern to potential underlying causes.

  • Apply evidence-based interventions effectively, tailoring treatments to specific abnormal breathing patterns and optimizing patient care outcomes.

  • Differentiate between abnormal respiratory patterns, identifying unique features to diagnose specific disorders and enable targeted treatments accurately.

  • Collaborate with healthcare professionals, including respiratory therapists, nurses, and specialists, to ensure comprehensive and multidisciplinary care for patients with abnormal respirations.
