Kootokoff Sounds Lab Report

The Korotkoff sound is constantly monitored as the cuff continues to be deflated slowly until the pulse sounds have disappeared. Then the fifth Korotkoff sound was recorded as the diastolic BP after another 10 to 20 mmHg the cuff may be completely deflated to avoid limb compression. After the procedure is complete the patient should be informed and left comfortable; the results must be explained and documented.

This experiment was carried out as noted about in Procedure 1. The resting heart rate was established and used as a baseline value from which to compare all future deviations. While data could

A heart rate monitor could have been used instead of the manual method, which would produce a more accurate result of the heart rate measurement. (http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-measure.htm).

The range of normal resting systolic BP for the subjects in this experiment is 115-125 mmHg. Did systolic BP increase, decrease, or not change with exercise?

After the exercise, we then took the measurements of our pulse, breathing rate and temperature too to see the change. Once we had completed this the first time, we then did it 2 other times, so in total 3 time so that the data was reliable and trustworthy. (Stretch, B., & Whitehouse, M. (2007).

When I did my own EKG lab testing I used the following materials: BIOPAC electrode lead set (SS2L), BIOPAC disposable vinyl electrodes (EL503), Cot, BIOPAC electrodes, Computer Sytem, BIOPAC Student Lab software v3.0 or greater, and BIOPAC acquisition unit (MP30). When all these materials are available the computer was turned on and three of the electrodes were placed on the body of my teammate. Two electrodes were positioned on the medial surface of each leg just above the ankle, and the last electrode was on the right anterior forearm at her wrist. When these were attached the subject was asked to lie down on the cot and relax. We then attached her to the EKG machine with three colored cables. The white cable was placed on the electrode on the right forearm, the black cable was placed on right leg and the red cable was attached to the electrode on the left leg.

5. Establish the resting heart rate of the Daphnia. Count the amount of beats for ten seconds then multiply that number by six to convert it to beats/min.

The purpose of arterial pressure and the pulse lab is to determine the effect of posture and exercise on systolic and diastolic pressure and the heart rate. And also in order to find the differences in the reading taken under these condition compares to the baseline reading. The Sphygmomanometer and stethoscope are used to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, counting the beat on the radial artery will give the reading for pulse rate and by using the lab scribe software and IWX214, the blood pressure will be measured. In the heart, the aorta and the carotid arteries have baroreceptors and the chemoreceptors that identify the changes in arterial pressure and the changes in

Finally, place the 96 well plates in a CO2 incubator (37ºC) for 24 hours and read on a florescent

Once the thirty seconds was up, the person counting stopped and the heart rate (beats per second) was recorded. The same process was done again, but the counter counted the hearts beats for 1 minute. Again, after the 1-minute was up the heart rate was recorded for 1 minute. The same process was done again for 2 minutes, afterwards being recorded.

When checking for orthostatic changes in vital signs the nurse should measure the serial blood pressure and take the pulse of a patient in the supine, sitting, and standing positions. The nurse should first start by placing the patient in the supine position and allowing the patient to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before taking the blood pressure. Next, the nurse should place the patient in the sitting position with their legs dangling off the side of the bed. Then the nurse should allow the patient to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before measuring the blood pressure once again. Lastly, the nurse should reposition the patient to the standing position and should allow 1 to 2 minutes of rest before proceeding to the last blood pressure measurement. Orthostatic changes in the patients pulse and blood pressure need to be monitored closely because they can indicate signs of dehydration concerning the gastrointestinal system. Usually while the patient is in the standing position the systolic blood pressure will decrease 10 mm Hg, and the diastolic blood pressure will increase a bit. Now, when the systolic blood pressure decreases by 20 mm Hg, the diastolic blood pressure decreases by 10 mm Hg or higher, and there could be no change in heart rate or there could be an increase in the heart rate of 20 beats/minute or higher while reposition from the supine position to the

Measure HR, BP, RR (record for 30 seconds) and BGL immediately after conclusion of 1st set

3. Calculate the client's target heart rate at 60% and 80% using the Karvonen formula.

a. Deflate the BP cuff at a rate of 5 to 10 mm Hg per second.

To start off the experiment, a baseline was needed in order to be able to compare the different variables through out the experiment. The subject was instructed to sit and relax quietly while the blood pressure cuff and pulse plethysmograph were placed properly. After the blood pressure was taken and analyzed, it was found that the subject’s blood pressure was 122/64 mm Hg and a pulse rate of 60 bpm. Now that the baseline was obtained, continuing with the changing variables could take place. Starting with the variable of postural changes, the subject first reclined for three minutes. After the two minutes, the
