blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is your blood pressure. If the blood pressure is too high‚ it puts extra strain on your arteries (and your heart) and this may lead to heart attacks and strokes. Having high blood pressure (hypertension) is not usually something that you feel or notice. It does not tend to produce obvious signs or symptoms. The only way to know what your blood pressure is‚ is to have it measured. Blood pressure is measured in ‘millimeters of mercury’ (mmHg) and is written

MANUAL BLOOD PRESSURE ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE 2 Abstract: Taking a blood pressure reading is very important in the medical field. It is a way to detect cardiovascular health and treatment effectiveness. Blood pressure readings are one of the most popular tests being done in the healthcare setting. Recording a blood pressure consists of a number of steps‚ which were recently revised by the American Heart Association in the past few years. Because of the endless amount of misled readings and

Hormones can react to increase blood pressure when it becomes low‚ the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system uses several ways to temporarily increase blood pressure when it has dropped for example during the fight or flight response. During the response‚ the sympathetic division is needed to stimulate the adrenal glands to release the hormones epinephrine and norepineprine which stimulate the heart to beat faster and for blood to flow more forcefully‚ this effect makes most of the

Introduction: The point in a body at which the resultant pressure acts when the body is immersed in a fluid. The apparatus for center of pressure. Objective: The object of this experiment was to calculate the hydrostatic force a fluid exerts on a submerged plane surface and then compare the experimental hydrostatic force to the theoretical hydrostatic force. Theory: The apparatus defining the physical dimensions‚ this nomenclature will be used throughout this theory. Whilst the theory

Blood‚ cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissue are all constituents of the cranium. The pressure within the cranium is known as intracranial pressure (ICP); it is the same as that found in the brain tissue and CSF. (2) The pressure-volume relationship between ICP‚ brain tissue‚ blood‚ volume of CSF‚ and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is known as the Monro-Kellie hypothesis.(12) This hypothesis states that the cranial compartment is considered as an enclosed and inelastic container‚ which has
