What Is Bronchitis ?

The bronchial tubes are a part of the respiratory system, and their function is to pass air from the trachea, or wind pipe, to the lungs. The air passage is lined with tiny hair like structures known as cilia. Under normal circumstances, the cilia filter and stop irritant particles from entering the lungs.

Critical Care Transport Protocols

Critical care patients need to be well taken care of, especially when they are being transported from one place to another, or are on their way to the hospital. There are special emergency medical personnel whose job is to care for such patients when on the move. They are called paramedics. They have to follow special protocols during a critical care transport. These critical care transport protocols may slightly vary according to the hospital.
