Blood pressure is the measure of the pressure against the walls of the arteries. There are two forces that form blood pressure. One of the forces is created when the heart pumps blood into the arteries through the circulatory system. The other force is due to the arteries as they resist the flow of blood. Blood pressure is always stated in two numbers‚ systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The higher number is systolic pressure which represents the pressure while heart contracts to pump the blood

Drug overdoses are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular-active medications are very challenging to treat in overdose situations. Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy (ILE) was first successfully used in local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) in 2006. Since then there have been numerous case reports of ILE being used in other lipid soluble medication overdoses. We describe a case of a combined beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker overdose treated successfully with

secretion of gastric mucosa and decreasing gastric acid secretion‚ also PGE2 has a role in regulating the kidney function by maintaining vascular tone‚ blood flow‚ and salt and water excretion. Moreover‚ there are important and opposing functions of both prostacyclin PGI2 and thromboxane TXA2 in maintaining the vascular homeostasis and good cardiovascular health‚ in detail‚ TXA2 is synthesised in the platelets by the action of COX-1 during the platelet activation‚ it increases platelet aggregation‚ vasoconstriction

Blood Pressure Anatomy And Physiology Breven Sellers 11/3/2014 Arteries • Arteries are thick walled‚ yet they are elastic enough to stand pressure from the heart pumping at a fast rate. The arteries job is to transport blood away from the heart‚ usually only transporting highly oxygenated blood‚ having just left the lungs and on its way to the body’s tissues Arterioles • There are smaller branches of the arteries called arterioles‚ they connect to the capillaries. • Arterioles are the main

The skill I was observed on was for undertaking a blood pressure measurement. In undertaking this assignment‚ I have maintained confidentiality and I asked the patient for her consent to carry out procedure for measuring blood pressure according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2008). I was directly supervised and observed by my mentor for all the activities undertaken. I will discuss how I took blood pressure of a patient and further explain rationale behind doing specific way.

to measure arterial blood pressure. Questions: 1. My blood pressure for this lab was 123/78. These numbers are normal‚ compared to the normal rating of 120/80. My pulse pressure was 45 (SP – DP). My mean arterial pressure was 93 (DP + 1/3 (SP – DP). 2. Mean arterial blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and total vascular resistance. The mathematical equation for mean arterial blood pressure is equal to cardiac output x total vascular resistance. The amount of blood pumped out of the heart

health in two ways. First of all‚ exercise provides to strengthen the cardiovascular health. That is‚ regular exercise decreases the risk of heart attack. In that way‚ exercise improves the circulation of blood. Also‚ the heart pumps a lot of blood through the veins with more than the normal amount of oxygen. Therefore‚ regular exercise is important for cardiovascular health. The second way is that regular exercise helps people to increase

Blood disorder HCA/240 September 22‚ 2013 Blood disorder Blood is compromise of four main components‚ Plasma‚ red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets. Plasma is a yellow mixture of water‚ protein‚ and salt that carries blood cells‚ nutrients‚ hormones‚ gases and waste. Red cells contain hemoglobin‚ a protein that contains iron. Hemoglobin deliver oxygen to all parts of the body‚ also takes carbon dioxide to the lungs. Platelets are small cells that control the blood. These form
