Pulmonary System

Gas exchange, airway defense, ventilation, and respiratory emergencies.

System focus

  • Perfusion-first framing for every failure pattern
  • Cell factory mapping for predictable clinical cues
  • Safety priorities and NGN-aligned decision steps

Respiratory Infections and Emergencies: Pneumonia, TB, Pulmonary Embolism and Chest Tubes

A fever and crackles, a slow cough that won't quit, and sudden chest pain -- three different respiratory crises, three different clocks tick
