Espirometría - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: La espirometría es un examen para ver cuán bien funcionan sus pulmones, midiendo cuán rápido y cuánto aire puede inhalar y exhalar. Normalmente, a medida que respira o inhala, el aire se mueve libremente a través de su tráquea o tubo aéreo, luego a través de tubos anchos llamados bronquios, tubos más pequeños llamados bronquiolos y, finalmente, en pequeños sacos llamados alvéolos. Pequeños vasos sanguíneos, llamados capilares, rodean sus alvéolos. El oxígeno del aire que respira pasa a través de sus capilares, luego, el dióxido de carbono de su cuerpo pasa a través de sus capilares hacia un alvéolo. Usted elimina el dióxido de carbono cuando expulsa el aire o exhala. Enfermedades como el asma, la bronquitis y la fibrosis pulmonar, estrechan sus bronquiolos, reduciendo la cantidad de aire que va hacia sus pulmones. Y enfermedades como el cáncer pulmonar y el enfisema pueden dañar sus alvéolos, reduciendo la cantidad de oxígeno en su sangre. Estas enfermedades pueden dificultar su respiración. Su médico puede recomendar una espirometría para identificar una enfermedad en sus pulmones, revisar la gravedad de su enfermedad pulmonar existente o para determinar si los medicamentos que está tomando están ayudándolo. Durante el examen, su cuidador utilizará un dispositivo llamado espirómetro. Un espirómetro es una máquina que mide el aire que exhala. Antes de que realice su examen de espirometría, usted estará sentado en una cómoda silla con sus pies apoyados completamente sobre el suelo. Si tiene prótesis dentales, se le puede solicitar que se las retire. Para mejores resultados, se le aconsejará seguir las instrucciones de su cuidador de forma exacta. Para empezar, levantará su cabeza y mentón, de modo que pueda respirar con mayor facilidad. Después, se colocará un gancho en la nariz para evitar que el aire salga de sus fosas nasales. Luego, tomará un respiro profundo, llenando completamente sus pulmones con aire y reteniéndolo. Usted colocará el dispositivo bucal del espirómetro entre sus dientes y cerrará fuertemente sus labios alrededor de él. Finalmente, usted expulsará el aire fuera de sus pulmones tan fuerte y rápidamente como pueda, continuando respirando hasta que su cuidador le diga que se detenga. Si es un adulto, usted soplará durante al menos seis segundos. Los niños de 10 años y menos, soplarán durante tres segundos. Usted necesitará realizar un examen de espirometría correctamente tres veces para obtener resultados precisos.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"I just wanted to let you know that after several days on trial, I settled [my client's] construction accident case for $4.5 million. Immediately after the jury was discharged, I spoke with several jurors who told me that they really appreciated the medical illustrations for their clarity in dealing with [my client's] devastating injuries. They also expressed their gratitude in being able to read from a distance all of the notations without difficulty. Obviously, the boards were visually persuasive. I am certain that this contributed to our successful result."

Michael Gunzburg, Esq.
Attorney at Law.
New York, NY

"It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Medical Legal Art. We have used their services for three years and always found their professionalism, quality of work, and timely attention to detail to exceed our expectations. We recently settled two complicated catastrophic injury cases. One medical malpractice case involving a spinal abscess settled for 3.75 million and the other involving injuries related to a motor vehicle accident settled for 6.9 million. We consider the artwork provided by MLA to have been invaluable in helping us to successfully conclude these cases.

I highly recommend MLA to anyone seeking high quality, detailed medical legal artwork."

"Thank you for the splendid medical-legal art work you did for us in the case of a young girl who was blinded by a bb pellet. As a result of your graphic illustrations of this tragic injury, we were able to persuade the insurance company to increase their initial offer of $75,000.00 to $475,000.00, just short of their policy limits.

We simply wanted you to know how pleased we were with your work which, to repeat, was of superlative character, and to let you know that we would be more than willing to serve as a reference in case you ever need one. Many thanks for an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of a very serious injury which clearly "catapulted" the insurance company's offer to a "full and fair" amount to settle this case."
