Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that is useful in many emergency situations; including heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause brain damage in only a few minutes. A person may die within 10 minutes. To be better prepared before giving CPR, it’s better to take a First-Aid class. Taking a First-Aid course will properly teach you the steps and health risks that…

The topic of the article that I found online is the cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, which revolves around the heart. Gross anatomy, diseases, and photos are shown for readers to learn more about as to how the system that is in charge of pumping thousands of gallons of blood each day allows bodily function and movement. Many diagrams are included to show what each structure looks like, as well as how it works with other structures or substances within the body. I chose this specific…

Congestive heart failure is a disease in which the heart is unable to adequately pump the blood of the heart to the rest of the body, and thus the blood is not circulated properly. The blood that is not circulated can do a backward overflow into the lungs, and create problems breathing. Congestive heart failure thus can create edema, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, coughing, and fatigue. The problem that a lot of the elderly congestive heart failure patients deal with is being…

Hemophilia is a medical condition that makes the blood in the bodies system to not be able to clot, casing the injury to bleed severely. The major effects of hemophilia are bleeding in the brain, bleeding in the joints, and excessive bleeding. Internal bleeding in the brain is a very serious difficulty in hemophilia. It can happen by the smallest bump on the head or something more serious. Bleeding in the joints can occur without obvious injury. The extent of the bleeding deepens on how severe…

Dry Eye Dry eyes, also called keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is dryness of the membranes surrounding the eye. It happens when there are not enough healthy, natural tears in the eyes. The eyes must remain moist at all times. A small amount of tears is constantly produced by the tear glands (lacrimal glands). These glands are located under the outside part of the upper eyelids. Dryness of the eyes can be a symptom of a variety of conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or Sjogren syndrome…

Heart or cardiorespiratory monitor. This machine monitors a patient’s heart and breathing rates. Wires from the monitor are attached to adhesive patches on the skin of the patients’ chest, abdomen, and leg. Blood pressure monitor. Blood pressure is measured using a small cuff placed around the patients’ upper arm or leg The cuff takes the patient’s blood pressure at regular times and displays it on a screen. An auxiliary thermometer. This device is used to measure the patients’ temperature…

2016 Stages of Hypertension Hypertension, the condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is high, is a very common condition. Only 42% of Americans considered to have normal blood pressure readings. (1) Normal blood pressure reading should be less than 120 over 80. Blood pressure readings can be recorded by measuring the systolic pressure, the pressure inside the arteries when the heart beats, and the diastolic, the pressure between beats. Hypertension can be…

explore how your arteries work, who is at risk of developing high blood pressure, and the difference between essential and secondary hypertension. Your Arteries Blood moves through your arteries on its way to various parts of your body. Under normal circumstances, the pressure within your arteries is fine. However, there are times when the pressure builds and the blood pushes against the arterial walls. When that happens, especially over prolonged periods, the health of the artery can be…

ARACHNOID CYSTS DESCRIPTION Arachnoid cysts are cerebrospinal fluid covered by arachnoidal cells and collagen that may develop between the surface of the brain and the cranial base or on the arachnoid membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord. CAUSES • The exact cause of arachnoid cysts is not known. Researchers believe that most cases of arachnoid cysts are developmental malformations that arise from the unexplained splitting or tearing of the arachnoid…
