following scenario‚ left heart catheterization with coronary angiography and left ventriculogram. PROCEDURE: The right groin was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. Seldinger technique was used‚ and a 6-French sheath was placed in the right femoral artery. A local anesthetic was used and sublingual nitroglycerin was given; no heparin was used. The left and right coronary arteries were selectively opacified in the LAO and RAO projections using manual injections of Optiray. A ventriculogram was

Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Pulmonary artery catheterization is a procedure that is done to test blood movement through the heart and to monitor the heart’s function. In this procedure‚ a thin‚ flexible tube (catheter) is passed into the right side of the heart and into the main artery that carries blood from your heart to your lungs (pulmonary artery). The procedure may be done to evaluate or help diagnose various problems‚ such as: • Heart failure. • Shock. • Leaky heart valves (valvular

Blood loss is particularly rapid and when large veins are opened‚ example. common femoral or jugular. Venous bleeding can be under increased pressure as in asphyxia‚ or from ruptured varicose veins. Portal vein pressures are high enough to cause rapid blood loss‚ especially in portal hypertension with oesophageal varies. Pulmonary artery haemorrhage is dark red (venous blood) at around 30 mmHg (4 kPa)‚ while bleeding from the pulmonary veins is bright red (oxygenated). Capillary haemorrhage

Investigating arteries and veins Aim: How far the artery and vein can stretch when different masses are hanged from them. Hypothesis: I predict that the heavier the mass the more likely it is to stretch the artery and vein further‚ eventually causing it to break apart. In addition the vein will stretch further than the artery when given the same mass. This is because arteries are much larger‚ muscular and more elastic than the veins‚ as they carry high pressure blood. Veins do not transport

OUTCOMES 15.6‚ 15.7‚ 15.8 8. If a patient develops a blood clot in the femoral vein of the left lower limb and a portion of the clot breaks loose‚ where is the blood flow likely to carry the embolus? What symptoms are likely? To add to your thoughts‚ the blood flow is likely to carry the embolus to the patient’s lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolisms usually originate in the legs‚ like in this case. They are caused by a blood clot that has traveled to your lungs. There

Investigating arteries and veins Methodology 1. Suspend a ring of artery from a hook on a clamp stand. 2. Use a metre rule to record the length of the ring once the mass carrier has been attached to the free end of the ring. 3. Attach a 10 g mass and record the length of the ring after the mass is added. 4. Remove the mass and record the length of the ring. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 using 20‚ 30‚ 40 and 50 g masses. Record the length with and without the masses each time. When comparing
