How to Properly Take Blood Pressure Step 1 - Choose the right equipment: What you will need: 1. A quality stethoscope 2. An appropriately sized blood pressure cuff 3. A blood pressure measurement instrument such as an aneroid or mercury column sphygmomanometer or an automated device with a manual inflate mode. Step 2 - Prepare the patient: Make sure the patient is relaxed by allowing 5 minutes to relax before the first reading. The patient should sit upright with their upper arm positioned

The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

A steel wire of length 4.7m and cross-sectional area 3×10-5m2 stretches by the same amount as a copper wire of length 3.5m and cross-sectional area of 4×10–5m2 under a given load. What is the ratio of the Young’s modulus of steel to that of copper? For Steel l1= 4.7 m‚ a1 = 3.0 x 10-5 m2 Y1= Fl1/a1∆l Y1= (F x 4.7m)/ (3.0 x 10-5 x ∆l) For Copper L2=3.5 m‚ a2 = 4.0 x 10-5 m2 Y2= (F x 3.5m)/ (4.0 x 10-5 x ∆l) Dividing Steel by Copper Y1/ Y2

By government regulation‚ the cabin pressure cannot be less than the equivalent of outside air pressure at 8‚000 feet.ii In CHF‚ a person is already having difficulty supplying oxygen sufficiently to the body. When you increase in altitude‚ oxygen levels decrease. Although a normally functioning heart and lungs can adjust to the decreased pressure‚ a person with impaired heart and lung functions may present with intensified symptoms which may

principle. This system is designed in order to constantly maintain the tyre pressure thereby improving safety of an automobile in times of emergency caused by perforation (by nails‚ screws‚ thorns‚ etc.‚) or any other deformation. The PSITS uses a valve that pulls in air from the atmosphere. It then pumps the air into the under-inflated tyre using a peristaltic-pump action. The goal is to constantly maintain a specific pressure inside the tyre. The system consists of a thin tube that has a peristaltic
