Renee A. McIver Margaret Case Study OB--Summer Semester 2016 In Margaret’s Case Study (3) possible causes for her sudden change in medical status could have been due to spontaneous rupture of membranes (SROM)‚ anaphylactic reaction and acute hypotension. SROM is defined rupture of the fetal membranes on their own. This is often referred to by mother’s a “my water broke.” Anaphylactic reactions have a rapid onset and may cause death. Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath and hypotension which

Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving treatment for severe respiratory failure irresponsive to mechanical ventilation‚ associated or not with haemodynamic instability‚ and its application fields are widening to refractory sepsis and also to elective thoracic procedures. ECMO is replacing conventional cardio-pulmonary by-pass (CPB) even during lung transplantation due to its potential advantages: the absence of full-anticoagulation and the possibility of maintaining the extra-corporeal

Cold pressor test is widely used as test for auto- nomic functions. It has been used as diagnostic test for diseases like hypertension and other cardiac auto- nomic disorders. During cold pressor test ‚ the hand or foot is immersed in cold water bath held at a con- stant temperature at 80 C. Cold water immersion activates afferent pain and temperature neurons‚ re- sulting in a centrally mediated stimulation of sympa- thetic efferent neurons. In healthy subjects ‚ the CPT causes increase

Variables Affecting Human Arterial Pressure and Pulse Pressure BIOL 204-506 Remi Ben-Davies Dashaun Lee‚ Amanda Easter‚ and Lynne Baker April 9th‚ 2015 1 Introduction: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to determine how different variables may affect arterial pressure and pulse rate. Two subjects were used as models for the tests. The first two tests required the use of sphygmomanometers and stethoscopes to measure the arterial pressure and pulse rate. The last test required sphygmomanometers

My doctor had labeled me a “spontaneous aborter‚” meaning my body wouldn’t hold a pregnancy‚ six miscarriages in four years. I was going crazy and when I asked my doctor why‚ he just said “it just happens to some women.” Really? What was wrong with me? A friend of mine referred me to a chiropractor. “What can a chiropractor do?” I asked myself. Despite

is determined by the force‚ heartbeat rate‚ and resistance to blood flow through vessels. Cyclic changes in arterial blood pressure are partially attributed to the rhythmic contractions in the left ventricle (Iaizzo‚ 2009). The pressure within the arteries reaches its highest level (systolic pressure) during systole and reaches the lowest level (diastolic pressure) during ventricular diastole. Blood pressure is decreased to about 30 to 40 mmHg at the entrance of the capillaries and then reduces to
