Virtual Experience Reflection
How this topic made you feel?
I felt like the content was educational and emotional when going over RDS in babies.
was this topic review or new information for you,
Most of the information was review for me as it reinforced teachings in subjects that I have previously learned. In this module I went over steps to take to deal with respiratory distress; like assessing ABC, checking peripheral pulses, SPO2, blood pressure, or talking to and observing a patient, gathering medical history or symptoms as quickly as possible. In this module I also observed things that can be done to treat respiratory distress such as oxygenation or patient position. This module also helped me review different lungs sounds and oxygenation devices. I did learn how Ards affects patients and the reason why it causes patient to have to use a ventilator, as well as how it can affect a patient even after they have been discharged.
