Pulse rate

The patient presents with probable muscle tension dysphonia (CAPE-V 62/100). She is characterized by hoarseness and roughness in her voice. Ms. Pepper’s forced vital capacity was 2900 cc ml. The average vital capacity for women is between 3000-4000 cc ml. Ms. Pepper’s vital capacity is below the normal. Ms. Pepper predicted MPT was 17.11 seconds. According to Awan & Ziminsky-Ammon (1996), the average mean for MPT should be about 19.70 (SD of 5.79) Reduced MPT might indicate either a problem with

The impact that exercise has on your heart rate is that it speeds it up. I feel like exercising is good for your heart because it keeps it working. We started our physio assignment on the 15th of june and it also ended on the 3rd of july. The first observation I made was that for 15 seconds my heart beat 14 times when resting. My heart beat after running the course was beating at a rate of 24 for 15 seconds. The following day my resting heart beat was 14 beats for 15 seconds and my heart after running

What is the test? A Heart Rate (HR) is the total amount of times your heart beats per minute. Whereas your Blood Pressure (BP) is the force that the heart applies against your artery walls as it pumps the blood out to the body. What are the implications? The implications of having blood pressure over 140/90mmHg is that around that point is when hypertension (aka high blood pressure) starts to become present which puts unwanted strain on the heart, and can cause strokes and greatly lessen life expectancy

The physical stress of a person can be analysed using time series from electrocardiograph (ECG) and accelerometer. RR-intervals obtained from ECG are roughly speaking the times between heart beats and can be converted to the momentarily heart rate, while accelerometer measures the acceleration to all three directions of the three dimensional space. Hence the total acceleration is the length of the acceleration vector obtained from the accelerometer. If the accelerometer is still, it typically reports

The First Clinical Experience On an early morning in April, my friends and I arrived 45 minutes early to our long term care facility in Scottsdale, Arizona. The three of us anxiously awaited stepping foot into the care facility as we had no idea what was to come. I began to wonder what the patients would be like and how I would care for them. Consequently, I could feel my heart pounding as I was afraid of hurting the residents and not promoting healing from their ailments. I didn’t know what illnesses

Maximal oxygen consumption or VO2 max refers to the single maximum oxygen consumption that an individual can utilize during graded-intensity exercise. VO2 max can be assessed through properly administered submaximal oxygen consumption test which can include exercise test modes of treadmill, cycle ergometer or step test. In an individual, VO2 max can be determined by the cardiovascular system 's ability to deliver oxygenated blood to working muscles and then the muscle 's ability to extract that oxygen

Through the learning from previous weeks, I learnt that the major issue in health-care delivery is healthcare associated infections(HAIs). It is essential for everyone to follow the infection prevention and control practices that both patients and health care workers are likely to be infected. The use of Standard Precautions can help to prevent cross contamination and thus minimizing the spread of infection. Standard Precautions includes the use of personal protective equipment(PPE) and Hand Hygiene(HH)

Throughout the years, various methods have been utilized to measure blood pressure. One newer ways is the automated blood pressure cuff, which has become widespread in medical offices and at home for patient self-care. There are many advantages to automated blood pressure cuffs. One benefit is the consistency of the measurement.1 In an office setting, the blood pressure will be taken each visit by a machine and not have human variability or error. In addition, there will be no digit preference,

Getting your blood pressure taken is the first thing that nurses do when giving a check up to their patients. When getting blood pressure checked the nurses put the arm ring, which goes around the arm of the patient, is very uncomfortable and bulky. I have thought of a way that uses newer technology. The supplies I will be using would be the blood pressure monitor and a piece of the heat monitor. The piece of the heart monitor I would be using is the clamp that goes on the patient’s finger. The reason
