Western Governors University LUT1 I. Introduction: a. Audience Hook: Catheter occlusion is a mechanical complication that occurs in 2% to 18% of PICC insertions. (Turcotte S‚ 2006) The incidence of thrombus varied by placement site 10% brachial vein‚ 14% basilic vein and 57% cephalic vein. (Allen AW‚ 2000) Proper tip placement in the SVC decreases complications of the vessel and heart. (Furie B‚ 2008) b. Thesis Statement: Research suggests the importance of proper vein choice and PICC

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action

vice versa (Tomlinson). In situations where different cuff sizes are not available‚ larger size cuffs are recommended to minimize the error in measuring the BP. In applying the BP cuff‚ it must be put directly around the patient’s bare arm over the brachial artery and not over clothing articles to prevent putting extra pressure. In other circumstances‚ “if the patient’s arm is too large or too short for the proper cuff fit‚ the patient’s sleeve cannot be moved above the elbow‚ or the correct size cuff

The Ankle Brachial Pressure Index is a test that demonstrates the cardiovascular status of the lower limb. It is a quick‚ noninvasive way to check for risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Peripheral artery disease is a condition in which the arteries in the legs or arms are narrowed or blocked. People with peripheral artery disease are at an increased risk of heart attack‚ stroke‚ poor circulation and leg pain. If the foot pulses can be clearly felt then the risk of vascular disease and associated

Kenya Henderson KINS 2100 Due: 4/3/12 Case Study: Knee Injury This case study focuses on a male who suffered a knee injury form skiing‚ which in turn resulted in weakness in his foot. With the help of MR Neurography the doctor was able to accurately diagnose the patient and provide a successful outcome. The gentleman suffered an injury to his left knee while snow skiing. He fell onto his leg with an immediate disruption of the knee and instant onset of foot weakness. There was considerable

Effect of Exercise on Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure Purpose: To determine the effect of jogging on pulse rate and blood pressure. Hypothesis: If you jog then your heart rate and blood pressure will increase. Materials: Tape Measure Blood Pressure Cuff Procedure: 1. Record resting blood pressure and heart rate. 2. Measure out 100m. 3. Jog 100m (same speed every time) 4. When finished jogging 100m record heart rate and blood pressure. 5. Repeat steps 3&4‚ 3 more times 6. Calculate average

Physiology‚ Berry HOMEOSTASIS LAB ACTIVITY Introduction: Homeostasis means maintaining a relatively constant state of the body’s internal environment. The term used to describe a pattern of response to restore the body to normal stable level is termed negative feedback. When a stimulus (environment change) is met by a response that reverses (negates) the trend of the stimulus‚ it is negative feedback. As a result the internal environment is returned to normal. Pulse rate is constantly checked
