ventricle influence the function of the other. The pericardium plays a pivotal role in cardiac changes during inspiration. Normally‚ as the right atrium and ventricle fill during inspiration‚ the pericardium limits the ability of the left-sided chambers to dilate. This contributes to the bowing of the atrial and ventricular septums to the left‚ which reduces left ventricular (LV) filling volumes and leads to a drop in cardiac output. As intrapericardial pressures rise‚ as occurs in the development of a pericardial

Known CPR The Right Way One thing that ever person on earth should know is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).A person will never know when or were it my come in to use. A lot of people say that they know how to give CPR but‚ most of them will not give it in the create way or will panic and freeze up when the time comes. Hopefully this course will teach you the create process in CPR training. Hopefully you will never need to perform CPR but if you do you will now have the skills to save someone

medication errors during cardiopulmonary arrest. According by the article by Flannery & Parli (2016)‚ medication errors in the intensive care unit (ICU) range from 8.1 to 2344 per 1000 patient-days. Unfortunately‚ drug errors that occurred during Cardiac resuscitation are less identified and reported. The main reason for that is because the patients involved are in their most vulnerable state. In this emergent situation‚ medication errors are more likely to have a detrimental outcome. It is very likely

Histology This lab focused on the examination and identification of tissues that make up the organs of the body. The tissues are divided into four main categories: epithelial‚ connective‚ muscle‚ and neuronal. Click on the thumbnail images to see a larger version. All of the photomicrographs were taken using the 40X objective (400X magnification)‚ which is the highest magnification we use in this lab. Other resources include linked web pages on the "Resources" page and the histology tutorial

P2: Outline the structure of the main tissues of the body. In this assignment I’m going to talk about the structure of the main tissues which are found within the body as well as what their role is in the terms of two named organs of the body. Tissues are a collection of similar cells that group together to carry out a specific function within the body. There are four different types of tissue found in the human body which include; epithelial tissue; connective tissue; muscle tissue and nerve tissue

arteries open – have halved the number of those dying from heart attacks or suffering from heart failure. Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) – a small device implanted for those at risk of sudden cardiac death – now have a 98% chance of surviving a cardiac arrest‚ compared to only 5% without the implantable device. In addition‚ the minimally-invasive surgical techniques which are now used to treat aneurysms can mean a recovery time of around four weeks‚ compared to over a

PERICARDITIS The heart is a strong muscular organ that is responsible for sustaining life. During the course of the lifespan‚ many different types of illness or injury can interfere with the heart and its functioning. The heart is located within a sac‚ a double layered‚ flexible holding vessel that is named the pericardium. The pericardium is responsible for keeping the heart in the proper place. It is also the reason that the heart does not fill with more blood than it can hold. This
