Blood Pressure Lab Report
Introduction:
Researchers as of today have been able to come out with different strategies and measurements in order to have full, complete, reliable results. When using different procedures and methods the results would be different, but by making sure that you are following all steps the measurements gotten should be reliable to explain the procedures and results of the various experiments.
In our first lab, we started off calculating and documenting descriptive variables, Sex, Height, Weight, Age, Gender, Heart Rate and Blood Pressure both at rest and after exercising. The purpose of this was to be able to measure these methods as well as comparing the results of females and males for a class description. All students ranged in all the …show more content…
Straight sitting down on the chair, we used a digital sphygmomanometer. We made sure the table was at the level of the chest. We placed the left arm on the table and we let the cuff inflate to make sure it reads the systolic and diastolic until it was released, to the point where the Korotkoff couldn’t be heard. The result was then calculated in the Excel Sheet.
Resting Heart Rate: Having the subject sitting down, we placed the left arm on the table. Making sure the table is align with the chest. We used a stethoscope to measure Radial Artery in order to calculate the Heart Rate.
Exercising Heart Rate:
We then changed the subjects to use a Monarch cycle Ergometer for three minutes. We tried to make sure that each subjects was able to keep the Monarch at around 60 as the speed limit. The last 15 minutes of the cycle, another subjects measured the rate by placing two fingers around the wrist and tested the radial artery to check for the Heart Rate, this was later documented on the Excel Sheet.
Exercising Blood Pressure: After checking the Heart RAte the subject which was on the Monarch cycle for three minutes, the subjects then went back to the table to use the digital sphygmomanometer to make sure we check the Blood Pressure. Checked both the DIastolic and the Systolic, which was then written down on the Excel Sheet.
