organizations such as the American Heart Association. Since then‚ CPR has been taught to millions of people‚ including grade-school children Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a method that was developed in the early 1960s for restoring the circulation and respiration in a patient who has suffered cardiac arrest‚ often leading to heart attack. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness‚ which then results in abnormal or absent breathing. Brain injury is likely if cardiac arrest goes

1. Identify each of the following statements as either true or false. If false‚ explain why. (a) Viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. (b) Although important‚ fluids are not essential to many living things. (c) A meniscus forms when water particles adhere to the sides of their container. (d) Buoyancy‚ like water pressure‚ acts in all directions. 2. Describe the relationship between mass‚ volume‚ and density of matter. 3. Use the particle theory to explain the differences between

fail independently of the other. Unilateral heart failure is this type of heart failure. Left sided heart failure is when the left ventricle cannot pump out enough blood and it gets backed-up in the lungs. A buildup of fluid in the lungs‚ called pulmonary edema‚ can cause shortness of breath and often leading to right sided heart failure. Right sided heart failure is when the right ventricle cannot pump out enough blood‚ causing fluid to back up in the vein and capillaries. The backup of fluid

CONGESTIVE CARDIAC FAILURE Congestive cardiac failure is defined as “the state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate adequate for supplying the requirements of the tissues with function parameters remaining within normal limits usually accompanied by effort intolerance‚ fluid retention and reduced longevity” (Denolin‚ 1983‚ p. 445). Congestive cardiac failure or heart failure continues to be a major public health issue worldwide. This paper is a case study report about C.B‚ a 60

When doing excercise‚our body makes our joints move smoothly by Synovial fluid keeps your joints healthy by providing nourishment for the articular cartilage in your weight-bearing joints. A regular weight bearing excerise routine for example running or resistance ‚ stimulates bone-building cells called osteoblasts to lay down new bone material which make our bones stronger and more dense.The other system is the muscular system. Muscles respond to overload.By working

a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. a. The maximum threshold will not change in cardiac muscle

According to patient daughter in law two surgery where done for amputation. Patient first surgery was down to amputate below the knee. According to daughter-n-law the second surgery of her knee was done to amputate leg above the knee because poor circulation still persists after first amputation.

CHAPTER ONE SCOPE OF FIRST AID First Aid First Aid is the assistance or help given at once to those suddenly taken ill or injured before being taken home or hospital or before medical expert takes over or an ambulance arrives. AIMS OF FIRST AID a) To save life b) To prevent the situation from worsening. c) To promote recovery. FIRST AIDER A First Aider is a person who had received training and certificate from an authorized training body approving him/her to render first aid. TASKS OF FIRST

which leads to inadequate circulation. Congestive heart failure‚ if left untreated‚ disrupts the homeostasis in the human body‚ causing other problems. Heart failure doesn’t mean your heart stops pumping‚ it means your heart isn’t meeting your body’s need for blood and oxygen. When left untreated‚ the blood begins to back up in your veins and fluid builds up‚ causing swelling in your feet‚ ankles and legs causing edema. Fluid builds up in the lungs causing pulmonary congestion. The backup of fluid
