treatments/experimental treatments, disease/trauma pathology, ventilator strategy and management,
respiratory therapeutics, patient education, pulmonary rehabilitation, management, and prevention.
Include the long-term prognosis of the patient.
Support your paper with a minimum of 7 peer-reviewed and/or scholarly resources, excluding the course
textbooks.
Summarize your major findings in an organized, 1-page outline.
