Pulse

Vital signs include the measurement of: temperature, respiratory rate, pulse, and blood pressure. These numbers provide critical information about a patient’s health. Vital signs can identify the existence of an acute medical problem. Most patients will have had their vital signs measured at some point, which are documented on their records. When the patient knows how the tools work, the patient will understand their vital signs better. Starting with the temperature, there is a tool called a…

and to the computer. A team member then connected the IR optosensor to the Easy Pulse circuit board. Afterwards the Easy Pulse circuit board was wired to the NI Elvis II board using jumper wires, ensuring that the VCC, A0 and GND pins connected to the +5V, AI0+, and AIGND sections respectively. The AI0 was then connected directly to the AIGND on the Elvis board. Once that was done, another team member ran the program Pulse Moniter.vi and instructed the program to read from the physical channel…

It seems to be that even before PULSE, I was getting involved in activities that revolved around the mission of social justice. Being a PULSE student has redefined the manner in which I understand service, and has solidified my interest in being an advocate for social change. Through PULSE Council, I will be able to aid other students in the year-long journey that PULSE is. More importantly, by having a voice on PULSE Council, I will be able to advocate for some of the issues…

Acute effects of caffeine consumption on submaximal aerobic performance. Introduction Caffeine and its related products are widely consumed in society. Caffeine is present in a variety of solid and liquid forms; coffee, tea and chocolate (Armsey et al, 2006). The popularity of caffeine can be attributed to both its stimulating properties and its role as an ergogenic aid (Olsen et al 2017). Caffeine is taken up by the body in a variety of steps and has a range of physiological effects. Caffeine…

assessment of a patient. They are useful in monitoring and detecting medical 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…

laser pulses (~2fs) (generation & metrology) with attosecond resolution, Science 334, 195, (2011). The attained resolution made possible the demonstration of the first pump-probe experiment with attosecond resolution and has enabled the real-time observation of the valence electron motion and light-field-induced stark shift in krypton…

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…

response to the played music was estimated by measuring the pulse rate. The task performances were obtained by calculating the omission error and reaction time for Go trials, and commission error for No-go trials. The pulse rate was compared between all the tasks and the rest condition (silence). The task performances measured were compared between Task 2 (with music) and Task 3 (without music).The rating of participants before and after…

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 affected since the blood pressure and pulse work together in most of the cases. Introduction The definition of blood pressure is pressure of…

properly, check the dog's circulation by feeling it's heartbeat and taking its pulse: To feel the heart beat place your hand in the dog's armpit and feel it's chest. The easiest place to check the pulse is on the inside of the rear leg at the top of the thigh, known as the femoral pulse. If there is a pulse, but the dog isn’t breathing, start mouth-to-nose ventilations, giving one breath every three seconds. If there is no pulse or breathing you should perform CPR (cardiopulmonary…
