tech/secretary examined the patient and documented that the patient blood pressure in both arms were equal. After Dr. Jones examined the patient to compare it with Ms. Smith evaluation he noticed discrepancy in the physical exams. The patient radial pulse in the left arm felt diminished compared to the right. The systolic blood pressure in the left arm was 60mm/hg less than the right, therefore the left hand is most suitable for an access procedure because the patient was right handed. Dr. Jones followed
introduction. • I will introduce the following: o You and a partner will design and build a simple pump to simulate the heart. The pump will then be used to design and carry out an experiment to simulate the effects of cholesterol plaques on blood flow rate. The students will: 1. Work through procedure steps 1 through 4. They need to: i. Brainstorm and sketch 3 possible designs (in their journals). ii. Build the pump. iii. Demonstrate that the pump can move 150 mL of water from one flask into a second
The Woman Who Sweats Blood From Her Palms and Her Face A twenty-one-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital in Italy after noticing blood in her sweat. Ds. Roberto Maglie and Dr. Marzia Caproni, dermatologists at the University of Florence, reported the case on October 23, 2017. The patient had no signs of lesions on her body, however, the bleeding occurred whenever she would exert enough energy to sweat. Due to the symptoms, the young woman isolated herself and is diagnosed with severe depression
Skylar Woods Writing about a past experience I had in the ER. I was not able to shadow a doctor this week so instead of writing about an experience I had this week I just changed it to one Ive had. Still made it relevant and enlightening. 8:56 My whole body is pumping rapidly up and down. I see a bead of my own sweat fall in slow motion and splash on the surface of The Man's chest. My whole upper body is burning from the strain, yet I keep pushing down on the resistance, causing another wave of
The Affects of Exercise on Heart Rate Introduction Does exercise affect a person's heart rate? Our hypothesis is that longer periods of exercise will increase a person’s heart rate. We will be testing this hypothesis by running an experiment that includes three different trials. For each trial we will have one person run up and one half of a flight of stairs for different periods of time. Our objective is to prove our hypothesis right by being able to provide data tables and graphs as evidence
Pulse, is an anthology, which gives the readers an insight from numerous authors’ point of view when it comes to dealing with patient treatment and urgent health problems. Inside of Pulse there is 63 different perspectives which all portray a different aspect in the medical field, which gives the reader a descriptive and vivid detail of what is happening within a couple of pages. Through out Pulse, the readers see how the patient impacts the doctor. As a result, it shows how the doctors deal with
complaining of increasing pain with touch or movement. The patient grimaced when moving her right leg. There’s visible swelling in the left knee, warm to the touch with +2 pitting edema, BLE pedal pulse present, popliteal pulse present at left leg but pulse in not palpable on the right popliteal (pulse can only be heard with Doppler at right popliteal due to swelling). Injured extremity was elevated on a pillow as patient awaited further evaluation and treatment options from physician. X-ray returned
All the cranial nerves are intact, except that the patient has decreased sensation in all extremities. I could not find the pulse on her both feet. In this case, a Doppler would have been used to listen to the pedal pulse. Also, cranial nerve five, which is also known as the facial nerve was not tested, because the patient complained of pain in the jaw. She also expressed difficulties opening her mouth111111111111 There are two distinguishing wounds on the patient, the first one is on the right
in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and other care wards. They also use lactate along with an APACHE score to determine potential mortality of each admitted patient. The APACHE score is based on mean arterial pressure, rectal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, Glasgow Coma Scale and a collection of blood gas and electrolyte levels. A prehospital set of vitals, patient demographic information along with lactate can effectively depict a critical trauma patient in need of aggressive resuscitation
opposite, they decrease the frequency of the heart and in some cases the amplitude. If we look at table 1 and compare the figures , were 2 drops of caffeine were add, the data shows no effects is done by caffeine, no increase or decrease in heart rate. The same problem happen when 10 drops of caffeine were added to the heart, there was no sign of a big change for the frequency, it only have a change from 59 to 60 BPM if we compare resting and 50 secs after caffeine was added. The only time where
