Essay Instructions: Week 5 Discussion Topics 1& 2
Please answer the following questions. Please write a well-developed answer for each question.

Topic # 1 What are the differences between hypoventilation and hyperventilation? What happens to oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and blood pH?

Topic #2 The death of a few airline passengers have led to worry about economy-class syndrome. The theory is that sitting motionless for long periods on flights allows blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. Low oxygen levels in airline cabins may increase clotting. If a clot becomes large enough to block blood flow or breaks free and is carried to the lungs or the brain, the outcome can be deadly.

Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in the airplane's cabin during a long flight may lower your risk of clot formation.

Essay Instructions: Below are the instructions for this literature review assignment. This topic may be used on my Master Dissertation/thesis.


Proposed Topic: “Oxygen Use in ward (non-ICU) settings” (the idea is most hospitals do not have protocols to consume oxygen. No oxygen prescriptions are usually issued, so patients may receive less or extra oxygen. Also, that will increase the cost.

On successful completion of this module students will be able to: (the below points should be reached throughout the literature review)

1. Conduct a critical review of the evidence based literature.
2. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of evidence based literature.
3. Discuss methodological issues of studies reviewed.
4. Demonstrate the ability to apply evidence based findings to their organization and/or area practice.





Assignment

Conduct a review of the evidence based literature on a topic (ideally that which will inform your project/dissertation). The review should focus on the findings of the studies and analyze the methodologies used. Include the Literature Review grid in an appendix.

The following structure should be used as a guide for the review. Use only these headings (Sub-headings can be used for one or two of the below). Write as a third person (The writer suggest, the writer institute, etc..)

• Introduction (300 -500 words)
What is the topic? Why is it important? Describe how the flow of this lit.Review will be.

• Search Strategy (300 -500 words)
What database used? How? Key words/phrases? Do NOT include Systemic Reviews such as Cochrane . describe/how many…etc..

• Overview of the literature (1200 -1500 words)
This is the bulk of this assignment along with the Methods. Following the literature review Grid, create 3 or 4 themes that need to be analyzed or discussed (I attached a critique framework that may help). Identifying strengths, weaknesses, validity, reliability, sampling ,,,etc

• Methods and methodologies (approx. 1000 words)
This is self-explanatory. Discuss/critique the methods used.

• Application of findings to your organization. (300 -500 words)
How these findings are are important in health care institute? The writer (my self) hospital is not applying any protocol to use oxygen in wards.

• Conclusion (300 -500 words)
Emphases what is the introduction. Suggest following steps and/or recommendation

Essay Instructions: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radical biochemistry is studied to discover how aging in cells can be decelerated or prevented. This paper will explore the evidence that ROS/ free radicals are an excellent model for aging studies and cures. This paper will also provide evidence of the faults ROS/ free radical studies; how these findings are not adequate for studying aging.
