Arterial color duplex study was performed for bilateral lower limbs which revealed mild atherosclerosis of the arteries without narrowing or blockage, no aneurysms in the popliteal arteries and confirmed the presence of a right DPA aneurysm with a small mural thrombus. Right foot toes pressure measurement showed normal readings (Fig.2). Surgical exploration was carried out under ankle block. A longitudinal skin incision was made directly over the aneurysm. Sharp dissection through fascia…

The new cardiovascular lab will retain the simple ID and labeling components, but will be expanded to include portions that encourage kinesthetic learners. In the new structure, students will visit a series of stations that illustrate the structures and functions of the heart after completing the book objectives. The first station will be a toy model of the heart that can be taken apart to see the internal components, and an actual heart. This station appeals to the visual and kinesthetic…

Introduction - Choosing a blood pressure monitor for home use is no easy task. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of monitors available in 2017.

I felt for my resident’s brachial pulse, placed the cuff on his upper arm, put the diaphragm of my stethoscope where I felt the pulse, and began squeezing the pump. When I had finished taking his blood pressure, it was very low. I took the blood pressure again, and the second time was just a low as the first. The patient was…

The focus assessment is detailed nursing assessment of specific body systems that relate to the presenting problem of patient and can also involve one or more body systems (RCHM, 2014).

Assessment done to determine the progress towards achieving a desired outcome is also focused assessments. It is used to gather information on a specific health problem. A…

Introduction The purpose of the lab was to see the effects of heart rate and blood pressure when 3 male and 3 female students exercised compared to when they were at rest. My hypothesis is that the data from the exercise part of the experiment will cause both the heart rate and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) to increase more than the resting state. Methods Resting heart rate was recorded in the begging of class. Then the class was divided into groups and from each group, there was a…

Cardiovascular response to acute exercise When you exercise your body goes through chemical and physical changes to accommodate your sport, some of the changes are vasodilation, raise in heart rate and blood pressure change. When you first start exercise your heart rate will rise preparing the body for exercise. This is because the muscles will need more oxygen to work at their optimum level. The typical resting heart rate is from 60 – 80 beats per minute therefore the pre exercise heart rate…
