First aid compilation What is first Aid? Is an immediate care given to a person who has been injured or suddenly taken ill. General objective’s of First Aid * To alleviate suffering * To prolong life * To prevent added/ further injury Different kinds of injuries and the procedure on how to give first aid said injuries: Minor burns * Procedure * Take the person away from the source of burning and let the airway of the victim be open. * You can remove

phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles relax and fill. The cardiac cycle cannot be described as a linear series of events associated with the flow of blood through the four chambers. One can not accurately describe the cardiac cycle by

When muscles of the body are exposed to electric shock‚ the muscles contract‚ the heart muscle goes into fibrillation electric shock can result in death AC is much more dangerous than DC An electrical shock is experienced when a person become part of an electric circuit. As a result‚ current enters at one point and leaves by another. The severity of the shock is determined by three main factors: The amount of current flowing through the body; The path of the current through the body. The great

component that allows this examination is the cardiac cycle. The cardiac cycle involves a sequence of events affiliated with the flow of blood within the heart during a complete heartbeat‚ which include atrial systole and diastole followed by ventricular systole and diastole. Systole indicates contraction whereas diastole indicates relaxation. The first phase of the cardiac cycle is Atrial systole‚ or Atrial contraction in which contraction of the atria tops off the ventricles‚ filling them to

Atrial Fibrillation and the clinical impact Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is most frequent cardiac arrhythmias that characterized by extremely rapid irregular atrial rhythm; resulted from ectopic focal impulses production. An estimated prevalence of 33.5 million people suffering from AFib with the incidence of 5 million new cases annually.

of the tricuspid valve. This condition can lead to right ventricular atrialization‚ which‚ in other words‚ a portion of the right ventricle functionally becomes a part of the right atrium due to abnormal positioning of the leaflets or flaps. Moreover‚ the atrialization of the right ventricle leads to a larger than normal right atrium and a smaller than normal right ventricle in size. With Ebstein’s anomaly‚ pulmonary atresia‚ right ventricular conduction deficiencies‚ atrial septal defect‚ and Wolff-Parkinson-White

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary
