  2. Winters's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winters's_formula

    It is slower than the initial bicarbonate buffer system in the blood, but faster than renal compensation. Respiratory compensation usually begins within minutes to hours, but alone will not completely return arterial pH to a normal value (7.4). Winter's Formula quantifies the amount of respiratory compensation during metabolic acidosis. [8]

  3. Respiratory compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_compensation

    The amount of respiratory compensation in metabolic acidosis can be estimated using Winters' formula. [2] Hyperventilation due to the compensation for metabolic acidosis persists for 24 to 48 hours after correction of the acidosis, and can lead to respiratory alkalosis. [3] This compensation process can occur within minutes. [4]

  4. Respiratory alkalosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_alkalosis

    Respiratory compensation is also a condition where increased respiration reduces carbon dioxide sometimes to level below the normal range. In this case it is a physiological response to low pH from metabolic processes and not the primary disorder.

  5. Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Society_of...

    The CSRT hosts the annual national conference for respiratory therapists in Canada. This large annual gathering of respiratory therapists and other professionals involved in respiratory care from across Canada and internationally offers a variety of educational presentations, networking and social events, interactions with vendors, and opportunities for its communities of practice to meet and ...

  6. Ventilation–perfusion mismatch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation–perfusion...

    In a condition such as pulmonary embolism, the pulmonary blood flow is affected, thus the ventilation of the lung is adequate, however there is a perfusion defect.Gas exchange thus becomes highly inefficient leading to hypoxemia, as measured by arterial oxygenation.

  7. Functional residual capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_residual_capacity

    Lung volumes. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration. [1] At FRC, the opposing elastic recoil forces of the lungs and chest wall are in equilibrium and there is no exertion by the diaphragm or other respiratory muscles.

  8. Nursing in Canada - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursing_in_Canada

    Five nurses' residences (the Ann Baillie Building, [2] Begbie Hall, [3] the Hersey Pavilion, [4] the Pavillon Mailloux [5] and the St. Boniface Hospital Nurses' Residence [6]) were designated in commemoration of the growing professionalism of nursing and of the expanded role of nurses in health care over the course of the 20th century.

  9. Canadian Board for Respiratory Therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Board_for...

    The Canadian Board for Respiratory Care (CBRC) was founded in 1989 as a non-profit organization which produces examinations for credentialing for practicing respiratory care. [1] The Board also has collaborated with other organizations on matters related to respiratory therapy education.
