438: Respiratory Therapy with Joe Lewis

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
