Breviograph

Okay kiddo, so a breviograph is a type of machine that helps people with breathing problems.

When we breathe, we take in air through our nose or mouth, and it travels down a tube in our throat called the trachea. From there, it goes into the lungs where oxygen is absorbed into our blood and carbon dioxide is released.

Sometimes, people have trouble breathing because their trachea or lungs aren't working properly. This is where the breviograph comes in.

The breviograph is a machine that measures a person's breathing. They usually wear a little nose clip that helps capture how they are breathing, and the machine records it on a graph.

This graph can tell doctors and nurses if the person is breathing too fast, too slow, or if they are having trouble taking in enough air. Using this information, they can figure out what needs to be done to help the person breathe better.

So, essentially a breviograph is like a little helper that tells doctors and nurses about how someone is breathing so they can help them breathe better. Hope that makes sense, kiddo!
