LA PRESION ARTERIAL Una de las mediciones que se toman durante un examen medico sistematico es la presion sanguinea arterial. El instrumento para tal medicion‚ un esfingomanometro‚ consta de una faja inflable (la manga)‚ una bombilla de hula con un conducto y un tubo de vidrio con mercurio (manometro). La manga se enrolla en la parte superior del brazo y luego se infla mediante la bombilla de hule. El medico coloca el diafragma del estetoscopio sobre un vaso sanguineo en la parte anterointerna del

Failure A. Assessment of Patient The assessment of Mrs. Baker should include vital signs including pulse oximetry. Given her difficulty in breathing‚ lung sounds should be auscultated. Because she is on two different medications that could affect blood pressure‚ lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)‚ hypotension could be one cause of her collapsing. In addition to vital signs‚ decreased peripheral pulses and capillary refill can also be indicators of hypotension. Also‚ because HCTZ is a diuretic

Blood is slightly alkaline(pH 7.35 to 7.45);yet if it drops below 7.35 the person has acidosis‚even though the blood may never become truly acidic.
