1. Auscultation method provides a closer to true value systolic blood pressure (SBP). Despite the existence of a potential auscultatory gap, where an underestimation of SBP can occur, crosschecking with the palpation method can eliminate this potential error. The palpation method as well is also subjected to many sources of error, such as strength of the pulse, location etc., and it requires the cuff to be more deflated, giving a lower systolic pressure reading, making it only a good estimate.…

success of occlusion of PDA with no obstruction of Aorta and/or left pulmonary artery in small infants weighing as less as 1700 grams was demonstrated in both animals and humane studies.…

The Cardiovascular System is composed of the heart and the blood vessels. The main function of the cardiovascular system is to pump blood around the body. The cardiovascular System is divided into two parts, the systematic circuit and the pulmonary circuit. The systematic circuit contains oxygenated blood and the pulmonary blood contains deoxygenated blood. In order to prevent oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing there is a structure called an interventricular septum. The septum…

Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular system Blood vessels Arteries, veins and capillaries takes blood and nutrition to the muscles and back from the heart. Arteries take the blood that has O2 in it away from the heart under high pressure with a small diameter and it has thick muscular walls, and veins take the blood back to the heart under low pressure it has a medium thickness to it and a large diameter because it has valves to stop the blood flowing backwards.…

Venous stasis ulcers ought not to be mistaken for ulcers identified with blood vessel inadequacy (fringe blood vessel ailment, Cushion) which are because of deficient stream of oxygenated blood (red blood) to the tissues. Fringe blood vessel infection creating blood vessel ulcers are from cutting edge atherosclerotic ailment in the blood vessel arrangement of the lower furthest points and are connected with diabetes, more seasoned age and elevated cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia) in…

The males tested had the greatest average resting mean arterial pressure overall at rest and immediately after the two-minute workout. All the female’s mean arterial pressures recovered following four min after the exercise. In contrast, three out of the five males recovered although they had a much lower rate change in comparison to the females. This data is illustrated in graphs four, five, and six. Pulse rate The females tested on average had a significantly greater pulse rate at rest and…

The human body is composed of muscle which are responsible for body movement. Muscles in found in the human body attach to the bones of the skeletal system, in a human body there are “700 individual muscles that make up part of a person’s weight and the muscular system. Each of these muscles are separate organ which are made up of skeletal tissues, nerves, blood vessels and muscle tissues. Muscle tissues are found throughout the human body, inside the heart, the blood vessels and the digestive…

Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), also referred to as a “stroke” is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when there is diminished blood flow being delivered to the brain. The two major types of strokes are ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke occurs when there is an obstruction in the brain caused by a blood clot and a hemorrhagic stroke results in sudden bleeding in the brain when a blood vessel ruptures. National Institute of Neurological Disorders [NIND] (2011) reports that…

Pulmonary Fibrosis is a very serious disease in which most people live from 3-5 years after being diagnosed. Regular Pulmonary Fibrosis, abbreviated as PF, is a disease in which your lungs become scarred, and when they scar they do not heal. The tissue deep inside lungs becomes thick and stiff. The scarring is called fibrosis, and pulmonary means of or relating to the lungs. The scars make it difficult for the oxygen to pass through the air sacs into the bloodstream. The damage is visible by…

If the subject held their breath after hyperventilation, they would be able to hold their breath longer than after hypoventilation. The reason this is true is because when you are hyperventilating, you are taking in more oxygen, so when you hold your breath, you will have more oxygen stored in your body to use. This is the reason free divers hyperventilate before going on a dive, to store oxygen. Hyperventilation is when someone is breathing in a quick manner. Apnea vera is a pause in breathing…
