When these performance measures are incorporated into public reporting, accountability, or pay for performance programs, the strength of evidence and magnitude of benefit should be sufficient to justify the burden of implementation. ○ In the clinical setting, implementation of clinical practice guidelines should be prioritized to those that have the strongest supporting evidence, and the most impact on patient population morbidity and mortality. ○ Research should be conducted on how to effectively implement clinical practice guidelines, and the impact of their use as quality measures.

Treatment involves removing air from the pleural cavity to re-expand the lung, using needle aspiration or a chest tube. In a pneumothorax, the relationship described by Boyle's Law is disrupted because the change in volume and pressure is no longer occurring within a closed system, leading to the collapse of the lung. EVENTS OF RESPIRATION Pulmonary Ventilation (Breathing) ○ Inspiration - flow of air into the lungs (relax state) ○ Expiration - movement of air away from the lungs (contract state) Boyle’s Law: volume changes lead to pressure changes, which lead to the flow of gases to EVENTS OF RESPIRATION equalize pressure External Respiration - oxygen is unloaded from the Diaphragm - division of respiratory from abdominal blood organs. Respiratory Gas Transport - diffusion between alveoli and within the blood vessel Internal Respiration - gas exchange in your pulmonary blood and alveoli Intrapleural pressure ○ Always negative UNDERSTANDING BOYLE’S LAW: CRITICAL CARE GAS EXCHANGE AND EMERGENCY NURSING PERSPECTIVE Fick’s law: the rate of diffusion increases when Pneumothorax occurs when air enters the pleural distance is shorter and greater surface area is cavity, causing pressure increase and a decrease observed. in lung volume.
