Episode description
Respiratory Therapy
with Joe Lewis
If you’re interested in pranayama and breathwork, there is so much more to discover than simply “oxygenation.” As a student of yoga breathing for over a decade, there continues to be a lack of real scientific teaching, so on this week’s podcast, we’ll nerd out on biomechanics and chemistry of breathing.
Listen & Learn:
- Why you must consider both oxygenation and ventilation
- The importance of C02
- Ideal blood oxygen content
- Education and career opportunities for potential respiratory therapists
- The utility of arterial blood gas (ABG) in an ICU
