Heat Stress in the Work Place! Eastern Kentucky University Heat Stress is the exposure to extreme heat or working in hot environments. Workers who are exposed to this may be at risk of heat stress. Heat Stress can result in occupational illnesses and injuries. “Heat stress can result in heat stroke‚ heat exhaustion‚ heat cramps‚ or heat rashes. Heat can also increase the risk of injuries in workers as it may result in sweaty palms‚ fogged-up safety glasses‚ and dizziness. Burns may

MUSCULOSKELETAL FRACTURES ● Fracture is a disruption or break in the continuity of the bone structure. ● Traumatic injuries account for the majority of fractures. ● Fractures can be classified as displaced (open) or nondisplaced (closed) depending on communication or noncommunication with the external environment. ● Signs include immediate localized pain‚ decreased function‚ and inability to bear weight or use affected part. Obvious bone deformity may be present. ● Bone goes through eight stages of selfhealing (union)

decrease sympathetic outflow to the heart‚ arterioles‚ veins‚ and increase parasympathetic outflow to the heart. 3. Define the term dysautonomia and briefly describe the condition known as neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS). Dysautonomia- a broad term to describe any disease of the ANS. Neurocardiogenic syncope- vessels can expand‚ which leads to pooling of blood in the lowers parts of the body. This will make less blood reach the brain and

Hypotension In physiology and medicine‚ hypotension is abnormally low blood pressure‚ especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. It is best understood as a physiological state‚ rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock‚ though not necessarily indicative of it. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension‚ which is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. If it is lower than normal

1. In relation to cardiodynamics; stoke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each ventricle contraction. End systolic volume is the amount of blood remaining in the ventricle after at the end of systole. End diastolic volume the amount of blood at the end of diastole that each ventricle has filled up with. Systemic Arterial Blood Pressure is the force of blood pressure on the arterial walls just after ventricular contraction. Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected

1. In physics and chemistry‚ heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways‚ among them conduction‚radiation‚ and convection. The SI unit of heat is the joule. Heat can be measured by calorimeter‚ or determined indirectly by calculations based on other quantities‚ relying for instance on the first law of thermodynamics. In calorimeter‚ the concepts of latent heat and of sensible heat are used. Latent heat produces

* GROUP 2: Elrey Joseph Calitis Mae Anjneth Cuaton How Atrial Tachycardia happens? Electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers fire abnormally‚ which interferes with electrical signals coming from the sinoatrial (SA) node --- the heart’s natural pacemaker. A series of early beats in the atria speeds up the heart rate. The rapid heartbeat does not allow enough time for the heart to fill before it contracts so blood flow to the rest of the body is compromised. Video Presentation

necessitate some type of cardiac pacing unit. Cardiac arrhythmias are common in the elderly‚ in whom age-related physiologic changes often alter the conduction system of the heart. Such changes may remain asymptomatic‚ or they may progress to syncope‚ or possibly sudden death. In the event of acute myocardial infarction‚ arrhythmias are no more frequent in the elderly than in younger subjects; in fact‚ ventricular premature beats are seen less commonly

On April 22‚ 2017‚ five classmates and I took part volunteering at the 9Health Fair. Before showing up we all were e-mailed instructions on the Health fair protocols for taking blood pressure (BP)‚ performing Body Mass index (BMI) and pulse oximetry (02 sat). When arriving we all kind of gravitated to a station. I ended up working with Allie and Karen in the BP/02 sat Station. When the fair began‚ it seemed that we were pretty slow‚ so I volunteered to stand by the blood draw station informing
