Introduction Shivering is a relatively common problem encountered during the perioperative period. It is reported in 40 to 70% of patients undergoing surgery under regional anesthesia[1]. Along with nausea and vomiting, postanesthesia shivering is one of the leading causes of discomfort for patients. Shivering not only adds psychological stress to the patient but also physiologically leads to an increase in O2 consumption by 200-500%, and increased carbon dioxide production which may lead to problems

Hypertension damages the arterial walls they either become hard and thick narrowing the lumen or the wall may dilate or tear blood supply to the affected areas is reduced which makes the body prone to ischemia and necrosis due to loss of adequate circulation (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014, p.862). Hypertension is the complex interactions among factors that regulate cardiac input. The sympathetic nervous system can become over stimulated resulting in increased cardiac output and vasoconstriction. The renin

What is your estimated daily intake of saturated fat in grams? 7. What is your daily systolic/diastolic blood pressure? Your Task: 1. Choose one variable that varies measurably from day to day. Be sure to specify the units of measurement, and state how it will be gathered. 2. Then collect at least 5 days’ worth of data on that one variable. For example, if

Abstract By Samirah DeVoise For this year’s science fair project I’ve decided to do my topic on how the type of dog may affect how loud its bark is. The primary reason why I selected this topic is because a recent project has intrigued me to broaden my knowledge in animal science. Since my science fair project is on how the type of dog may affect how loud its bark is. I predicted that the bigger dog breed would have the loudest

present in your report for volunteer. Blood Pressure 1. What is meant by pulse pressure? What happened during light and heavy exercise to the pulse pressure? Was this what you expected to happen? Answer: pulse pressure is the difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Pulse pressure should gradually increase with the intensity of the work out. However in our data the pulse pressure increased to 80 after light exercise and remained at 80 during

just a fancy medical term for high blood pressure or HBP. When your heart beats, it creates pressure that pushes blood through a network of tube-shaped arteries and veins around your body. When we measure this pressure it is referred to as “blood pressure”. This pressure is the result of two forces from the heart. The first force occurs as blood pumps out of the heart and into the arteries. This is the top number in the reading called the systolic pressure. The second force is created as the heart
