Paul Arnote's Respiratory Care Links:"Welcome to my page of Respiratory Care links. I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist, and an instructor at the Kansas City campus of Concorde Career College. I also work PRN (quite regularly) at an area Kansas City hospital.
Below you will find a plethora of links related to the field of Respiratory Care. I am placing these here not only for the benefit of my students, but all RTs, both in the Kansas City area and worldwide."

How Your Lungs Work
by Craig C. Freudenrich, Ph.D., Howstuffworks.com:"You breathe in and out anywhere from 15 to 25 times per minute without even thinking about it. When you exercise, your breathing rate goes up -- again, without you thinking about it. You breathe so regularly that it is easy to take your lungs for granted. You can't even stop yourself from breathing if you try!"
