Question 1: Pathophysiology of Mr. Jensen’s post-operative hypovolemia

Hypovolemia is a surgical condition that indicates the rapid fluid loss that may result in organ failures. The outcomes of the hypovolemia are mostly due to insufficient circulating volume or scarce perfusion. Often hypovolemia is secondary to hemorrhage the reason of which includes severe internal or external blood loss and GI, thoracic and abdominal bleeding maladies (Devitt, 2001). Hypovolemia involves significant fluid loss other than blood that can be further accompanied by refractory gastroenteritis and widespread burns. Hypovolemia may develop in post-surgical incidence, bone fracture, due to ...

The Russia-US agreement on the Syrian ceasefire has brought up several issues that remain unaddressed. The idea encompasses a great vision for the Middle East but it needs to be developed further and become the foundation of conflict settlement (Almonitor 1). The cessation of hostilities faces many obstacles such as: identifying the terrorist groups in Syria, areas where they should attack and whether Russia and US can control their proxies. Moscow suggests that Kurds should be a part of the Geneva peace talks. The Syrian opposition is in agreement with the idea while Ankara understandably opposes the idea. The ...

Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiac arrhythmias often require immediate medical care that may include resuscitation (Ray, 2004). The diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias can be challenging particularly in situations whereby the patient is asymptomatic and ECG findings are normal between symptomatic episodes (Cruickshank, 2008). Distinguishing between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia is also a challenge (Australian Resuscitation Council, 2008). Cardiac arrhythmia should be suspected in patients with a history of syncope, near syncope, palpitations, and/or chest pain (Cruickshank, 2008). This paper will justify why monomophic ventricular tachycardia is the most likely diagnosis of a male patient who collapsed abruptly and has hypotension (BP 63/38), tachycardia ( ...

Introduction

Numerous electrical applications require an inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) power. Some of these applications require the stepping down of voltage levels when realizing this conversion, which signifies that the input DC power is greater than the AC power. Conversely, certain applications require the opposite: to step up voltage when performing the power conversion, which means that the input DC power is lower than the AC power. These requirements can be met through the use of Voltage Source Inverters and Current Source Inverters, respectively. However, some particular applications require to step down voltage for ...

Introduction

Pulmonary edema (PE) is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the parenchyma and air spaces of the lungs. Most often PE is associated with respiratory failure and impaired gas exchange. Globally, PE is known to be characterized by two major factors, the first is associated with the injury of the lung parenchyma which is termed as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The second is associated with the failure of the left ventricle of the heart to release blood from the pulmonary circulation within the system and is termed as cardiogenic pulmonary edema (Glaus, Schellenberg , and Lang. 2010). The major cause ...

The vital signs depicted, that is, Pulse 100; BP 150/120; Resp 18; are fit to describe several diagnoses. In this case, the likely diagnoses that may be represented include Myocardial infarction, Ischemic heart disease and Cardiac Tamponade. Among the three possible diagnoses, myocardial infarction is the most likely diagnosis whose pathophysiology is characterized by the development of a clotting cascade which is usually triggered by a significant disruption of the atherosclerotic plaque. This could lead to a partial or total occlusion of an epicardial coronary artery (Chou, 2015). Atherosclerosis occurs due to a gradual but fast build up of ...

Velocity of Longitudinal Pressure in Sold Bars

Introduction As opposed to the transverse waves, longitudinal waves are not easily visible. They usually take place in one direction. Whenever we want to generate a pulse in an oscilloscope, it is required that the wave travels in a single direction to avoid creation of seismic or spark points due to merging or collision of the waves. Both the longitudinal (compressional) and shear waves travel in the form of bulk matter although the later causes change in volume, shape or layer (Hanyga 15). In order to effectively discuss the elastic characteristics of an elastic material like bars, the young’ ...

Measuring Heart Beats (ECG)

The heart rate of an individual has been defined as the number of times a heart beats every minute (Edlin and Golanty, 2016). When a heart beats, it pushes a volume of blood into the circulatory system. At some points in the circulatory system where the blood flows near the skin surface, one can feel blood flowing as a result of heartbeat. It is at these points where heart rate is measured. Usually, the heart rate of a person is measured at the carotid artery in the neck, radial artery located in the wrist just below the thumb, or ...

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...
