ailments they treat are the following: Aneurysm (localized abnormal dilatation of a blood vessel) If a bulge stretches the artery too far, the vessel can explode. Aneurysms can form in arteries of all sizes, but the most serious are those that affect the large blood vessel that carries blood from the (cardio) heart to other parts of the body (the aorta), the heart’s pumping chamber (ventricle), and arteries that supply blood to the cerebral (brain). Arrhythmia (irregularity or loss of rhythm., esp the

system is to pump blood through the body. A lab that we did was the diffusion lab. Again like i said the definition of diffusion is when something can go in and out and flush non needed nutrients out of the body and keep the good nutrients. An example of this is glucose and oxygen because they both diffuse into cells which means they have a chemical reaction. Blood travels through our body because of arteries and veins. Arteries take the blood away from are hear while veins bring the blood to the heart

portable ECG that you wear for 24 hours. • Stress testing. This test is an ECG done during exercise. • Electrophysiology study. This test measures electrical activity in your heart. It uses a thin tube (catheter) inserted in your heart through a blood vessel. TREATMENT Treatment for WPW depends on how often you have symptoms and the type of extra pathway you have. Treatment may include: • Medicine to stop the arrhythmia. You may get this medicine through an IV to stop an attack. Or, you may

In order for an individual to function, the major organs of the human body are required to participate in some sort of systematic interplay. From the body as a whole, to the individual organs, they themselves exhibit an assortment of organised interactions. This is due to the fact that the organs also comprise multiple components to their structure. The heart is one such system (Cannell, Crossman and Soeller, 2006). Comprising of various muscles, nerves and specialised fibres, it functions as a unit

through the normal healing phases and remains stalled in the inflammation phase, resulting in prolonged recovery of the wound. This means an acute wound has developed into a chronic wound. For an acute wound to heal, it is required to have an adequate blood supply, oxygen, nutrients and no infection to the wound. However, if there is a lack of one or more requirements for wound healing, it will hinder the wound healing process that results in chronic wounds. Also, patients with medical conditions

liver has a special circulatory system. About 75% of the blood flowing through the liver comes from the portal vein, carrying venous blood from the intestines, stomach, pancreas, and spleen. This guarantees direct delivery of blood to the liver, which will appropriately package, store, or release these nutrients as needed. The other 25% of blood flow comes from the hepatic artery, which carries arterial blood from the abdominal aorta. This blood is oxygen-rich and calms down the highly metabolic hepatocytes

adjusted continuously per patient status. Analgesics are most effective if given on a scheduled basis rather than per request, as effective pain management is responsible by the activated sympathetic nervous system, vasoconstriction, which decreases blood flow to the wound, which delays wound healing. Do not use IM injections during the emergency period secondary to poor absorption. The most common, in the early, acute phase of a burn injury, includes opioid agents such as morphine sulfate, fentanyl
