Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) occur when alveoli of the lungs are filled with fluids due to severe injury or illness. This fluid buildup instead of air in the alveolar air sacs causes decreased level of oxygen transfer from the lungs to the blood stream. A chest x-ray will show clinical appearance of acute pulmonary edema without elevated left atrial pressure or cardiogenic causes (Brochard, 2011).

using Microsoft Excel. Effects of Posture on Blood Pressure (BP) involved a tilt table, with a subject laying in a supine position for at least 5 minutes. A heart rate (HR) was being monitored during the entire process with ECG and was calculated using an average of 10 beats. An initial blood pressure in both arms was taken and then retaken immediately after tilt in to upwards position, 30 seconds after tilt and 2 minutes after tilt. During Vasodilation in Response to Metabolites, the…
