"How are you feeling today?" asked doctor Jason Posner in his usual automatic‚ inattentive salutation to Vivian‚ which is both humorous and distressing. There is a connection between Vivian Bearing and Jason Posner. Prepped for research and scholarship by Vivian herself (he took her class on the metaphysical poets) Jason possesses many of the same traits as Vivian. He is smart‚ ambitious‚ dedicated to the complexities of his medical research‚ and inept at human relations. Like Professor Bearing‚

Many people these days have heard of cardiopulmonary resuscitation‚ better known as CPR. I am going to go over the different steps of infant‚ child‚ and adult CPR. If you were not educated on it then I hope it will give you basic and fair instructions how to perform CPR. And for many I hope it can also count as a refresher. I will start with infant CPR. This would be used on a child who is less than one years of age. The first step is to determine whether or not the infant is responsive. Shout and

CPR‚ Adult Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a skill that almost anyone can learn to perform. It can be lifesaving when performed on a person whose breathing or heartbeat has stopped. When the heart stops beating‚ the flow of blood to the brain and other vital organs also stops. This usually causes brain damage or death if not treated within minutes. CPR consists of steps that are based on the CAB sequence: chest compressions‚ airway‚ and breathing. If you see an adult collapse and lose

You may have only few seconds to save a life when you in an emergency. Is anything you can do in an emergency until help arrives? You should do‚ because the only person you may have to depend on is yourself. First aid is the immediate care given to a victim of injury or sudden illness before professional medical help arrives. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a method of combining chest compressions with rescue breathing to maintain a flow of oxygen-rich blood to the brain while the heart is

Outline the differences between the excitation-contraction coupling mechanism between skeletal and cardiac muscles. Excitation-contraction coupling is the combination of the electrical and mechanical events in the muscle fibres and is related by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction

errors continue to claim many innocent lives. The purpose of the research was to identified the causes of medication errors during cardiopulmonary arrest. According by the article by Flannery & Parli (2016)‚ medication errors in the intensive care unit (ICU) range from 8.1 to 2344 per 1000 patient-days. Unfortunately‚ drug errors that occurred during Cardiac resuscitation are less identified and reported. The main reason for that is because the patients involved are in their most vulnerable state.

1. What do those numbers (130/87) mean? What do they relate to in the cardiac cycle? The numbers 130/87 is the blood pressure of the patient. The top number 130‚ is the reading that is received when the heart is in contraction and blood is pushed out of the heart into the rest of the body (this is called systole). The bottom number 87‚ is the reading when the heart is at it relaxed state and is being refilled with blood (this is called diastole.) 2. This deposition of platelets and fibrin can
