Premium Hypertension Blood pressure Orthostatic hypotension
Orthostatic hypotension occurs when there is a temporary drop in the blood pressure while going from a laying or sitting position to a standing position suddenly. “The concern with this condition is that the severe initial decline in blood pressure can occur so suddenly that baroreflex responses cannot compensate in a timely manner to recover and maintain adequate blood pressure and cerebral perfusion” (Shaw & Claydon‚ 2014‚ p. 7). The quick movement of standing causes a decrease in blood pressure

the meta-analysis performed by Gao L et al‚ ten randomized clinical studies were reviewed to determine the effect of ondansetron in the prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia was initiated. The researchers used relative risk with a 95% confidence interval to analyze their outcomes. The meta-analysis suggests that spinal-induced hypotension‚ bradycardia‚ and amount of vasopressors needed were reduced with prophylactic ondansetron. However‚ Gao L et al recommends that further‚ stricter studies

attack Heart attack is different from angina. A means a coronary artery has been blocked and the heart has been damaged. Without blood flow and oxygen‚ part of the heart starts to die. 4 Hypotension hypotension is low blood pressure‚ especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension‚ which is high blood pressure. It is best understood as a physiological state‚ rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock. 5 Ischemia is a
