following scenario‚ left heart catheterization with coronary angiography and left ventriculogram. PROCEDURE: The right groin was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. Seldinger technique was used‚ and a 6-French sheath was placed in the right femoral artery. A local anesthetic was used and sublingual nitroglycerin was given; no heparin was used. The left and right coronary arteries were selectively opacified in the LAO and RAO projections using manual injections of Optiray. A ventriculogram was

OUTCOMES 15.6‚ 15.7‚ 15.8 8. If a patient develops a blood clot in the femoral vein of the left lower limb and a portion of the clot breaks loose‚ where is the blood flow likely to carry the embolus? What symptoms are likely? To add to your thoughts‚ the blood flow is likely to carry the embolus to the patient’s lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolisms usually originate in the legs‚ like in this case. They are caused by a blood clot that has traveled to your lungs. There are a

The Heart and Circulation of Blood In this research paper‚ I will be analyzing the process of blood circulation within the human body. I will be focusing on the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit‚ as well as the relationship with the hepatic portal system. The combination of these systems allows the body to function properly and maintain unconscious homeostasis. I will also be talking about the effects that fitness and diet have on these processes. The pulmonary circuit passes already-used

Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Pulmonary artery catheterization is a procedure that is done to test blood movement through the heart and to monitor the heart’s function. In this procedure‚ a thin‚ flexible tube (catheter) is passed into the right side of the heart and into the main artery that carries blood from your heart to your lungs (pulmonary artery). The procedure may be done to evaluate or help diagnose various problems‚ such as: • Heart failure. • Shock. • Leaky heart valves (valvular

located on the body’s left side with the other 1/3 on right. The top of the heart also known as the heart’s base‚ connects to the heart’s blood vessels called the aorta‚ vena cava‚ pulmonary trunk‚ and pulmonary veins. There are two different types of circulatory loops in the human body the Pulmonary Circulation and the Systemic Circulation. The Pulmonary arteries brings blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs where then the blood picks up oxygen and returns to the left side of the heart

In protracted bleeding‚ and when quantities of intravenous fluids else than blood are given‚ it may become watery in appearance. Venous haemorrhage is a dark red‚ a steady and copious flow. The color darkens still further from excessive oxygen desaturation when there is severe lose of blood‚ or in respiratory depression or obstruction. Blood loss is particularly rapid and when large veins are opened‚

circulatory systems work together to distribute oxygen to‚ and remove carbon dioxide from the cells of the body. The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues receive enough oxygen. Oxygen is required for cellular functions. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by the heart‚ which pumps the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. Additionally‚ the two body systems work together to remove

Investigating arteries and veins Aim: How far the artery and vein can stretch when different masses are hanged from them. Hypothesis: I predict that the heavier the mass the more likely it is to stretch the artery and vein further‚ eventually causing it to break apart. In addition the vein will stretch further than the artery when given the same mass. This is because arteries are much larger‚ muscular and more elastic than the veins‚ as they carry high pressure blood. Veins do not transport
