INTRODUCTION Traumatic Brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability among the youth in Australia and other countries. The most common cause of moderate and severe head injury among the young adults is road traffic crashes with falls and assaults being the next most common cause (Elliot‚ Aitken & Chaboyer‚ 2012). Descriptive analysis of the data from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2006 from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare National Morbidity Database found that males had

Hypertension Normal ABP : the pressure exerted by blood on the vessel wall of the arterial system from the beginning of the aorta to the start of the arterioles‚ it is about 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic. Arterial blood pressure (ABP) = cardiac output (CO) X total peripheral resistance Hypertension : sustained elevation of the systemic ABP > 139 mmHg systolic & > 89 mmHg diastolic. Therefore : so long as CO is constant is relatively constant ; a change in the ABP is mainly due

blood to the lungs and out of the right side of the heart. This either happens because the hearts muscles are unable to fully contract or they are inflamed not allowing an adequate amount of blood to enter them. This leads to a backup in venous blood. The venous blood puts pressure on the walls of the blood vessels (especially in the legs). This causes blood plasma to leak into the interstitial spaces. This causes one of the major signs of right sided heart failure which is pitting edema of the legs

The body health depends in keeping body fluid in balance‚ which distribute between intravascular in blood vessels‚ and extravascular which can be inside the cell (intracellular fluid) or between the cells called (interstitial fluid). Edema occurs when the interstitial volume has increased due to fluid leaks from capillaries or tiny blood vessels to interstitial space‚ then the space will expand cause edema.[1] To understand the mechanism clearly‚ fluid dynamic control should be considered‚ the hydrostatic

a preventative measure for deep vein thrombosis. Anti embolic stockings are designed to support the lower extremities and maintain compression of small veins and capillaries. The constant compression forces blood into larger vessels which promote venous return and prevent circulatory stasis (Crisp & Taylor 2008‚ p.1566). There have been many research papers conducted on the effectiveness of anti embolic stockings in the prophylaxis of post-operative deep vein thrombosis. Most of them state that the
