Pulse oximeter

developing cardiovascular disorders (“Physical Activity”). The number of beats per minute equals heart rate (765). To find heart rate, a pulse point must be determined on the body, and the most common are the carotid and radial arteries (795). The rhythmic throbbing of the arterial wall as blood is being pumped is called a pulse (795). By knowing this information about a pulse, we can correctly identify the number of beats per minute. Each heartbeat is different from the next one (Watanabe).…

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 immediately after the exercise in comparison to the males. Although the net change between male and females was very close, the recovery was not. All of the male pule rates recovered…

her emotional state depicts as uncooperative and groggy, but as the morning progressed, she became more awake and alert. Her 0800 vital signs are as follows: oral temperature 98.3 degrees Fahrenheit, respiratory rate 16, heart rate via left radial pulse is 46, blood pressure 170/66 left arm lying down, oxygen saturation is 97% using her left digital probe finger and is on room air. The patient denies any pain, and I was told to monitor the patient periodically throughout my shift by the HCP. The…

after exercising. Some of the control variables were the amount of time that subjects exercised (15 minutes), the age of the subjects that were tested (10-11 years old), and the timer used to keep track of how long the participant exercised and record pulse. The control group in this project was the group of subjects that walked. The experimental groups were the group of participants that ran, jump roped, and did jumping jacks. The procedures were…

Report Summary: Gas Exchange Methods of analysis: Andrea used a heart rate monitor to record and compare the impact the spin class has – before, during and after- on her heart. The heart rate monitor consist of two parts they work together. The transmitter which looks like a belt and needs to be fixed around the chest and the receiver will be worn as a watch on the wrist. They have different functions, the monitor will measure and record your average heart rate from the moment the monitor is…

Methods of analysis: Andrea is a 35 year old female who regularly takes part in cardiovascular exercise. She has recorded her beats per minute (BPM) and blood pressure before, during and after performing exercise with a heart rate monitor and a sphygmomanometer. She completed this experiment during a spin class within a controlled environment and on a fixed spin bike. Findings: BPM Before exercise 96 Average heart rate during exercise 142 Maximum heart rate during exercise 174 1 minute after…

Hypothesis: If subjects stretch for three five-minute intervals, then their individual blood pressures will be affected and increase because the movement and use of muscles is also being increased. Results: As shown in Table 1, the blood pressures for each subject varied. Isabella’s blood pressure started out high, with her systolic rates remaining within ten points of each other, and her diastolic rates within 12 points of each other. Her beginning blood pressure was 131/91 and after five…

Summary Magnuson and Enright article “The Church as a Forgiving Community: An Initial Model characterizes how forgiveness portrays a major impact in the lives of families, community, and churches all over the universe. The role of forgiveness can be demonstrated by showing compassion to anyone who has acted unfairly. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4: 32 that we ought to forgive each other, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven us. In this article, Magnuson and Enright (2008)…

Professor Bearing’s Journey Through Cancer In the story “Wit “by Margaret Edson, the author depicts how a professor by the name Vivian Bearing was brilliant, cold hearted and then she became filled with kindness. Professor Bearing was a tough love teacher; she doesn’t really care about the students and their struggles. Her main fervor is for 17th Century poetry, especially the complicated Holy Sonnets of John Donne; well at least at the beginning of the play. In the latter half of the story…

POSTURAL = position of the body ORTHOSTATIC = relating to or caused by an upright posture TACHYCARDIA = increased heart rate SYNDROME = a combination of symptoms Normally, when a person stands up, the heart rate increases by 10 beats per minute or less. With POTS, the increase is often far greater - usually 30 beats per minute or more. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a condition in which a change from the supine position to an upright position causes an abnormally large increase…
