There are some new acronyms on the acute injury management scene and we want to help you understand why you should be open to them...corny as they may seem.
 When you inhale oxygen enters the lungs and blood cells while CO2 and waste products are exchanged and exhaled. This gas exchange happens at the alveoli via diffusion into the blood cells while waste and CO2 moves out via the capillaries. The newly oxygenated blood exits the lungs and delivers this life sustaining supply to all the tissues and organs of the body. The inflammatory cascade of COVID targets the alveoli - capillary exchange in a deadly way but so too does COPD, pneumonia and TB among other conditions. Inefficient breathing can also occur due to excessive mouth breathing, poor posture, stress induced shallow breathing to name a few.
