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

Hold the gas collection tube at an angle as you fill it completely with tap water‚ until it is nearly overflowing. Holding the tube at an angle allows the air bubbles to escape. 6. Place the magnesium in the mouth of the gas collection tube so that it is about three cm below the surface of the water. Fold the thread extension over the side of the

Even though his actions were justified‚ he knew it was not right and he had to live with that for the rest of his life. Peer pressure is a big problem in our world today‚ especially with our younger generations. This could be due to the lack of parental support and presence‚ but whatever the cause may be the result can be very devastating. Children around the world are being pressure in to things

Orsat Gas Analysis Experiment I. Objectives To analyze the dry exhaust gas (DEG) from a combustion system using the Orsat apparatus. II. Apparatus As shown in figure‚ the Orsat apparatus consists of a water-jacketed 100-m1 burette B connected at its top to a glass manifold M and at its bottom to a leveling bottle L. The glass manifold M is connected to three reagent bulbs called pipettes P1‚ P2 and P3 via three cocks C1‚ C2 and C3. Each tube is filed with its own absorbing chemical solution:

Process fundamentals The cutting process is illustrated in Fig. 1. Basically‚ a mixture of oxygen and the fuel gas is used to preheat the metal to its ’ignition’ temperature which‚ for steel‚ is 700°C - 900°C (bright red heat) but well below its melting

As CVP is a ‘systematic method of examining the relationship between changes in activity and changes in total revenue‚ expenses and net profit’ (Drury‚ 2000)‚ it is a very useful tool for managers to consider cost structure and price setting. When used in computer applications the method helps managers to make decisions based on the results by varying different variables such as selling price‚ variables cost‚ etc. This altering
