Therapeutic Hypothermia for Cardiac Arrest Jaime Bromley Jefferson College of Health Sciences Hypothermia is a decrease in the core temperature below 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit. There are various medical uses for hypothermia. Therapeutic hypothermia is the only proven effective treatment for post cardiac arrest patients. Hypothermia decreases the amount of cerebral oxygen needed and also lessens the inflammatory response post cardiac arrest. This prevents brain damage and death

not change in cardiac muscle cells (as with any other cells)‚ which is determined by the X amount of voltage needed for calcium channels to open. After this point‚ no additional voltage can cause the channels to open more‚ or again‚ prior to depolarization. 3. Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation. a. 3. cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization 4. explain why wave summation and tetanus are not possible in the cardiac muscle tissue

that passed away in 2006. The point of me bringing this up is the way she died. She died going into sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac Arrest is the sudden abrupt loss of heart function (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4481). We don’t know what caused her going into cardiac arrest but I know that is someone was with her within the first 4 minutes of her going into cardiac arrest she might still be with me today. When the ambulance got to my Aunt’s house she was not breathing for

goes into cardiac arrest‚ almost drowns or suddenly stops breathing. Anyone with a small child at home could benefit from knowing CPR. Small children can easily choke on a toy‚ food or even come close to drowning in the bath tub or any pool of water. Everyone in a household where there are adults in the home that are at risk of going into cardiac arrest‚ should take a training course on CPR because cardiac arrest victims that receive CPR have a better chance of survival.

ventricular wall‚ causing cardiac muscle to contract more forcefully (the so-called Frank-Starling mechanisms). The stroke volume may also increase as a result of greater contractility of the cardiac muscle during exercise‚ independent of the end-diastolic volume. The Frank-Starling mechanism appears to make its greatest contribution to increasing stroke volume at lower work rates‚ and contractility has its greatest influence at higher work rates. This allows the cardiac output to be synchronized

school has been ranked in the top 75 elementary school in New Jersey. This is located in a growing area and expects to have a population increase of about 20 percent in the next 10 or so years. Over the years‚ children are seen more with asthma‚ cardiac issues‚ diabetes‚ and allergies. This can be life threatening illnesses and we can help these children to live longer‚ healthier lives with the proper education and equipment.

BTEC Level 3 Applied Science Unit 1 – examiners report: Achieves P5‚ M2 needs to discuss different tissue types to achieve D2. In this essay I will include information regarding: cell differentiation‚ the functions of various cell organelles‚ tissues and a comparison of different tissue types. Cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialised cell becomes a more specialised cell type. Differentiation happens a number of times during the development of a multicellular organism as

cause a rapid conduction and its providing a very strong contraction to the ventricular muscle. The intercalated discs are a network that allows the rapid transmission of the electrical impulses and this allows the action potentials to travel to one cardiac muscle cells to the next. Sympathetic Nervous System carry the nerve impulses from the brain (medulla oblongata) to the heart and it releases hormones (that increases the heart rate). Parasympathetic Nervous System also releases hormones that slow

and teeth‚ it has an essential role in many body metabolic functions and processes. Calcium is not only used in the structure of bones and teeth‚ but it is required in many other body functions including‚ but not limited to‚ cardiac action potentials‚ the contraction of cardiac‚ skeletal and smooth muscle‚ blood clotting‚ and the transmission of neural impulses (Edwards‚ 58). Calcium ions are necessary in the process of muscle contraction. When muscles contract‚ the constituent fibers shorten. The
