Blood pressure

the hospital with occurring symptoms of swelling (edema) in the both of the lower legs, shortness of breath (dyspnoea) and recent weight gain due to Congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the metabolic needs of the body (Figueroa & Peters, 2016). The result of inadequate cardiac output (CO) is poor organ perfusion and vascular congestion in the pulmonary (left-sided failure) and systemic (right-sided failure) circulation…

Assignment 2: Pacemaker causes death after contradiction with MRI scan A pacemaker is a medical device that is located in the chest area to regulate abnormal heart rate. This is possible with the generation of small amount of electric impulses that sends electrodes to contract the heart at its atrioventricular (AV) node. (PacemakerDiagram) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a medical imaging technique that creates images from different angles the body for diagnostic purposes. The…

4. Notice how it feels to fully focus on your inhale. As you inhale, notice any particular feelings of tension or strain, and notice the sensation of your lungs and abdomen filling up as you inhale. 5. Now gently shift your awareness to focus more on your exhale. With each exhale, notice what it’s like to feel your breath passing out through your nostrils. And observe, without judgment, anything that you feel in your body. 6. For the next few minutes, continue to breathe gently and evenly.…

difference between the cardiac pacemaker and the CRT is that there are two leads to the ventricles, one to the left and one on the right, which restores the 4,6,7contraction of the left and right ventricle at the same time. This allows an even flow of blood through both chambers with better cardiac output. This is also called biventricular pacing. The CRT has the added bonus of offering defibrillation therapy(CRT-D) and the benefit of the third lead. The defibrillators in the CRT-D can shock…

inflammation of the pericardium of the heart. This inflammation causes narrowing of the pericardial space, which may also cause scarring. If left untreated this may lead to pericardial effusion, which is when pericardial space fills with fluid that puts pressure on cardiac muscle, which causes cardiac dysfunction. In chronic pericarditis it has to do more with anatomical restriction of the heart due to adhesions between pericardial membranes and less to do with the increase in fluid. C. Signs…

whole body including the brain does not receive oxygen. If the brain lacks oxygen for, ten to fifteen minutes, there could be permanent brain damage. It is crucial that the heart starts beating or someone starts Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to keep blood flowing and delivering oxygen to the vital organs. CPR is when a bystander pumps the patient’s heart for them. The surgeon operating on the fourteen year old boy was known as Claude Beck. He was an American Heart Surgeon and is known for his…

because of this there is a sudden rise in pressure, and has a closed angled between the cornea and…

signs of regaining consciousness. If the victim has lost consciousness and is still not breathing, the heart will stop and there will be a risk of brain damage. Chest compressions combined with rescue breaths can help resuscitate the victim and get blood circulating around the body again. This is done by carefully pushing down on the victim’s chest and following this push by rescue breaths (mouth to mouth resuscitation). It is very important that you do not attempt CPR (Cardiopulmonary…

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Definition: • According to Healthline, meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) occurs when the baby is put into stress before or during birth. Meconium is the stool that is produced before birth. Stress can cause the fetus to pass some meconium stool while still in the uterus and it mixes with the amniotic fluid and the baby may breathe it into their lungs before, during, or right after birth. Causes: • According to Healthline, MAS occurs when the baby is stressed and is…

It is part of the large intestine or large bowel. There are diverse types of rectal prolapse; some might project through the anus while others pass via the anal canal but not out of the anus. In addition to elderly females being most affected, it also befalls in young kids usually within the first 3 years of…
