The Circulatory System and the Respiratory System

The circulatory system and the respiratory system works together to make sure that the organ tissues get sufficient oxygen. Oxygen is needed for the cellular operations of the body. In addition the body (body organ systems?) parts as well work together in order to remove carbon dioxide. In this assignment we shall The purpose of this paper will be to review the assigned case scenario provided and provide details on the cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes which result in the patient showing the symptoms; the racial variables which may impact the physiologic functioning; and how the process interact to impact the patient.

The Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Pathophysiologic Processes

The patient has a high probability (further clarify high probability) from Pneumonia. This is because the signs and symptoms (include signs and symptoms so the reader has a better understanding of what was meant) that she has been experiencing are highly associated with pneumonia. The illness involves an infectious organism that gets to (clarify get to) the alveoli and they are highly virulent, since they tend to have evaded the host’s physical defense mechanisms. Due to this they (clarify “they”) tend to overwhelm the macrophages, thus leading to the generation of fibrin rich exudates which occupies the infected as well as the neighboring alveolar spaces thus causing them to remain together, thus causing them to be airless. The inflammatory response as well causes proliferation of neutrophils (ALA, 2020). This (clarify “this”) can result to the damaging of the lung tissue, resulting to fibrosis and pulmonary edema that makes it hard for lung expansion to take place.

The inflammatory response can as well lead to the development of pleural effusion that complicates the cases of pneumonia. Due to this the patient tends to experience complications in gas exchange. Due to this, vital organs tend to have little oxygen and the respiratory effort needed with every breath will be maximized due to the issues in the normal physiology (Jain-review APA guidelines for correct format) , et al., 2020. Respiratory rate? as well as heart rate may maximize die due? to the reduced oxygen and increased carbon dioxide.

Racial/Ethnic Variables

People of specific racial and ethnic groups in specific Alaska Natives, African American, and Specific (clarify specific?) American Indian groups and as well have maximizes rates of the illness. HoweverHowever, it is not yet known for the risk by race and ethnicity with specific but it was else observed for invasive Hemopahilus influenza infection that is as well caused by an encapsulated bacterium (This seems a bit confusion. Specific followed by with specific?) . Africans tend to suffer from pneumonia due to maximized indoor air pollution due to cooking and heating with biomass fuels. They as well tend to live in crowded home which maximize the ability of one suffering from pneumonia. Is this is your opinion or cited by credible references from the literature?

How the Processes interact to impact the patient.

Pneumonia processes causes inflammation in the air sacs of the lungs which leads to the building up of fluids which it difficult to breathe. Pneumonia processes mainly impacts the lungs but the complications can result to issued in other parts of the body, this can be serious and fatal. The increase of the fluid maximizes the complications. Fluids that occupy one are referred to as abscess. If the infection and the fluid builds up it gets more severe and can prevent the lungs from carrying out its functions. The lungs can at times lose the ability to add oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide at the right levels, thus resulting to respiratory failure (Quinton, Walkey, & Mizgerd, Review APA guidelines regarding citing more than 2 authors in the correct format. 2018).

Basically Tthe patient presented in the case scenario is suffering from (the assigned case scenario reflect COPD) Pneumonia. This is a fatal illness that mainly affects the respiratory system. The condition’s processes can result to lung failure as well as breathing problems. In regard to racial factors, the illness tends to affect the African-Americans more than the Whites. Is this your opinion or cited from credible references from the literature?
