Initial clinical experiences in post-operative care of microsurgical patients Giang Nguyen Ngan BSN‚ Ha Nguyen Hông Ph.D‚ Thai Pham Hong BSN Abstract Aim: To summarise the initial clinical experiences in post-operative care of patients undergoing microsurgery. Methods: The study design was a retrospective descriptive analysis. Subjects were patients that underwent reconstruction of amputated body parts and free tissue transfer by microsurgical technique from August 2007 to August 2010

Symptoms and Causes of Double Outlet Right Ventricle By Jonas Wilson‚ Ing. Med. Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital disorder where both of the great arteries‚ namely the aorta and the pulmonary artery‚ arise from the right ventricle. Normally‚ the aorta arises from the left ventricle where it receives oxygen-rich blood that is sent to the rest of the body. In contrast‚ the pulmonary artery normally exits from the right ventricle and carries oxygen-poor blood from the heart

Industrial Separation Blood is a liquid mixture that is found in the biosphere in humans and animals. Blood is always red in appearance‚ liquid‚ and can be thick or thin in texture. The major products of blood are blood plasma‚ white blood cells‚ red blood cells and platelets. Blood has a vital role in our day to day lives and makes it possible for life as we know it as its functions are key to our survival. Blood transports oxygen and carbon dioxide around our body‚ moves nutrients‚ waste products

Inspiration/ inhalation is the first half of the respiratory cycle where breath is drawn. Several muscles in the respiratory system contribute to the process of inhalation. However‚ the diaphragm and the external and internal intercostals are the primary muscles of inhalation. The diaphragm originates at ribs 7 through 12‚ the xiphoid process‚ and the first 3 lumbar vertebrae. The diaphragm inserts on its’ central tendon which it pulls down and forwards through contraction in order to increase the

The cardiovascular system is the movement of blood being permitted around the body to vital organs and muscles with the components of the heart‚ blood‚ and blood vessels combining together to make the cardiovascular system work. The cardiovascular systems is vital in the human body as it promotes the body’s delivery system for blood being pumped around the entire body for survival. The respiratory system also has importance in the body as it is the system to transport air into the lungs to aid the

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

Arrhythmia Information Once an arrhythmia has been documented‚ it’s important to try to find out where it originates. It’s also necessary to find out whether it’s abnormal or merely reflects the heart’s normal processes. The arrhythmia must be abnormal and clinically significant before it warrants treatment. That means it must either cause symptoms or put a person at risk for more serious arrhythmias or complications of arrhythmias in the future. (American Heart Association) Risk Factors:

Factors Affecting Heart Rate‚ Respiratory Rate‚ and Blood Pressure By Ann-Geyn PanganFor Michele MacKenieInvestigative Team:Biology 0993Nejat MuradOctober 14‚ 2014Jenn SakelariouIntroduction In class we studied circulatory system‚ especially the heart that plays a large part in human. We learned and analyzed its part and function in the body. The purpose of this experiment is to compare the readings of how the heart rate‚ respiratory rate and blood pressure respond to increasing levels of physical

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation is an irregularity in the atria’s electrical impulses‚ causing a disorderly and rapid rhythm. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (also termed intermittent atrial fibrillation) is occurrences of AF that spontaneously halt within 7 days of starting. Episodes of AF can last from a few seconds up to a few days in Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The sinoatrial (SA) node is the dominant pacemaker of the heart. Located
