Introduction The experiment aimed to establish a correlation between caffeine intake and the effects it has on both the pulse and respiration rates of an individual after undergoing moderate-intense cardiovascular exercise. Caffeine itself is one of the most heavily consumed drugs on the planet; it is estimated that over 90% of Americans consume caffeine daily (Richard Lovett‚ 2005‚ New Scientist iss. 2518) and is the most widely used stimulant in the world (Arcerio‚ P‚ Ormsbee‚ J‚ 2009‚ pg. 1)

Recently‚ I became ill with an upper-respiratory infection. The first few days‚ it just felt like a simple cold‚ so I thought it would be okay to go over to my boyfriend’s house for dinner. He cooked us a meal‚ then poured two glasses of wine. Even though I was a little under the weather‚ I drank the glass. Previous to this‚ he and I had discussed that I would be spending the night there because we had not seen each other for awhile. I looked forward to this because I was sick‚ and wanted the comfort

Main point: Acute respiratory distress syndrome affects over a million people and has a high mortality rate of 34-58% regardless to the improvements in intensive care and ventilatory technologies. The extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is well documented in neonatal and pediatric patients. However‚ the use in adults is very limited. This case presented a successful use of ECMO therapy to treat a patient who had a complex condition and was not effective in traditional treatments. THREE to

Expiratory reserve volume decreased due to the rapid increase in breath rate. Normal resting breath rate is at an average 11.6 breaths per minute increased to 27 breaths per minute after exercise. The increase in BR causes expiration length to go below its normal 3 second interval. Therefore decreasing ERV by .6 Liters.

1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alcohol drinking has been practiced in the majority of human society since early times. Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a drug which acts principally as a depressant on central nervous system. Its effects on behavior are well known and regular use gives rise to an increased tolerance‚ so that the drinker needs to take gradually increasing amounts to obtain the same effect. Chronic excessive alcohol consumption leads to life threatening hazards (Best‚ 1999). Alcohol related diseases

Cardiovascular Case Study Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) is a very large problem concerning the heart in its overall function. When the heart‚ being the core of the cardiovascular system‚ has issues; it effects the rest of the body as a result. The core of the problem resides in the atrial septum. Normally the heart is divided into four separate chambers. But a person with atrial septal defect has an atrial septum that allows the blood from the left side of the heart back into the right side. This

based medicine have become an integral part of respiratory care. With these policies in place‚ respiratory therapists are given clear‚ defined boundaries put in place by physicians‚ medical staff and hospitals to allow for flexibility in the assessment and treatment of their patients. Not only has this allowed for more freedom within their profession‚ it has also granted therapists the authority to collect clinical information regarding the respiratory status of their patients‚ assess those patients

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 6 Cardiovascular Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: 1. Define each of the following terms: • autorhymicity- The heart is autorhythmic. This means it generates its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to
