Blood Pressure: Systolic and Diastolic Abstract Blood pressure is when your heart beats and so it pumps blood back up to your body for it to have energy and oxygen. However, as your blood pushes it creates strength, so this creates blood pressure. Pulse is to see the rate of your heart going beats per minute. In this experiment, we gather data to see if the level of physical activity could affect the result of the systolic and diastolic measures in blood pressure and if the pulse would also be…
problems. They can help to identify acute medical problems and the severity. Vital signs include a reading of temperature, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pulse and pain. Various equipment and producers are used when taking vital signs. Temperature There are…
include heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, and pulse oximetry. These vital signs and change of vital signs are affected by factors such as gender, race, genetics, lifestyle, exercise, and environment. This experiment focuses on the effect of exercise and physical conditioning on vital signs and the change of vital signs after performing exercise. Heart rate is measured by counting the number of pulse beats felt in an artery at a pulse point in the neck, at the carotid…
to take vital signs. Vital signs are something that is measure such as temperature, pulse rate, respirations, and blood pressure. Vital signs are all measured using different tools in a specific way. For some vital signs, different tools are used to measure just that one. Vital signs are taken in a certain order and documented in that order. The order goes, temperature, pulse, respirations, and last blood pressure. Starting with the temperature, there is a tool called a tympanic digital ear…

They include pulse, respirations, blood pressure, and temperature. The patient 's level of pain is also sometimes considered another vital sign. When it comes to taking vital signs a person will develop their own pattern in the order they take each vital sign. Vital signs are taken almost instantly by the health career worker. Every time someone…
Introduction: Blood pressure is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and is the pressure of the circulating blood being exerted upon the arterial walls of the blood vessels. Blood pressure is determined by ones cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral resistance. Blood pressure is expressed by a systolic pressure and diastolic pressure and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Systolic pressure is the maximum pressure during ventricular contraction of the left ventricle while…
milliliters after the delivery (London, et al., 2014). From admission to the time of delivery Stadol 2mg/ml was given three times for pain relief (Patient’s chart, 2016). Comprehensive Post-partum After delivery A.B.’s vital signs were temperature 97.3, pulse range 62-74, respiratory…
Summary: Gerhardt, a 58-year-old male, presents to the doctor’s office with a low pulse rate, often times as low as 28bpm, and a feeling of sleepiness. Patient denies dyspnea, chest pain as well as palpitations. Physical examination revealed a high pulse pressure of 70 mm Hg, mid-systolic murmur and an occasional mid-diastolic sound suggestive of structural heart abnormalities. Question: What is an echocardiogram and how is it used diagnostically? Generate: Echocardiography is a modality…
