Frequently caused by allergens, patients with this respiratory condition should carry an inhaler at all times.
What is asthma?
300
Increases contractility, heart rate, and blood pressure. Can be hung as an infusion, can also be given through the ET tube.

500
Injury to the lungs related to alveolar injury or rupture when ventilator pressures are too high.
What is Barotrauma?
