Pulse pressure

performed a head-to-toe assessment and noticed that his level of consciousness was diminished. He had a rapid heart rate, contracted lower and upper extremities, decreased pulses, and multiple pressure ulcers. He was on a continuous EKG monitor. I noticed that he was experiencing supraventricular tachycardia. Due to the many pressure ulcers and the risk for infection, he was placed in contact isolation. After assisting with assessing the patient, he seemed to be responding well to Metropolol as…

losing weight, and modifying their diet. Aerobic exercise, such as walking or jogging, help decrease high blood pressure as it can reduce artery stiffness. In turn, exercise helps reduce high blood pressure, therefore, preventing atherosclerosis, which may lead to myocardial infraction and possibly a stroke. Reducing sodium consumption yields a positive effect in reducing blood pressure. This can lead to a reduction in mortality related to cardiovascular disease (Elton, Feldman, Pleister, &…

the lungs and has the pressure in these veins get higher fluid will leak out of the veins into the air spaces in the lungs, You give a diuretic so the body will pull more fluid out and pee it out. 9a If the person is refractory to the heart failure medications, he can go into shock.

Mr. Borg’s dopamine drip was titrated to 9 mcg/kg/min in 500 ml D5W to maintain a systolic pressure of 90 mm Hg. Dopamine is an organic chemical that occurs naturally in the body to keep the heart pumping. Dopamine (Intropin) can be used to treat low heart rate during shock (“Dopamine Injection: Uses, Dosage & Side Effects - Drugs.com,” 2015)…

lack of blood flow to the arm and veins will further distend with increasing external pressure, occlusion way from the heart the arm being lower than the heart. These sections are being tested using gravity, finger occlusion and use of sphygmomanometer at low…
