(including Physiotherapy). Answer: Bronchodilators, inhaled
steroids, oxygen, antibiotics, PT: education, breathing techniques,
airway clearance, exercise, pulmonary rehab.
◉ Asthma. Answer: A chronic inflammatory disease with episodic
airway hyperresponsiveness and bronchoconstriction.
◉ Asthma - Oxygen Transport Steps Affected. Answer: Steps 1-4:
Inhaled air, airways, lungs/chest wall, diffusion.
,◉ Asthma - Complications. Answer: Airway remodeling, increased
responsiveness, decreased expiratory flow, exercise intolerance.

Physiotherapy). Answer: Antifibrotic meds, oxygen, PT: pacing,
breathing control, pulmonary rehab, inspiratory muscle training.
◉ Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) - High Level. Answer: Disruption of
motor/sensory pathways leading to impaired respiratory muscle
function.
, ◉ Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) - High Level - Oxygen Transport Steps
Affected. Answer: Steps 3, 6-9: Lungs/chest wall, myocardial
function, peripheral circulation, oxygen extraction, venous return.
