- If fluid replacement is not enough to maintain blood pressure, medications that raise blood pressure may be used. (wikipedia.org)
partial
- The reason for this happening is a partial collapse in the airway during sleep which causes the brain to awaken the body to prevent potential asphyxia. (nhcacupuncture.com)
- The binding capacity of hemoglobin is influenced by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment, as described in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. (wikipedia.org)
- Hemoglobin increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood by about 40-fold, with the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen influenced by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment, a relationship described in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. (wikipedia.org)
injury
- Additionally, females are more predisposed to this overuse injury due to their relative increased genu varum knee position. (balegoonline.org)
systemic
- Early studies suggested that baroreflexes dilate or have no effect, but recent studies in awake dogs suggested baroreflexes did not normally engage tonic vasoconstrictor efferents but during excitement systemic pressure rises may also trigger local sensory-motor dilator reflexes. (biomedsearch.com)
known
- During the later stages of gestation there is an increase in abundance of oxytocin, a hormone that is known to evoke feelings of contentment, reductions in anxiety, and feelings of calmness and security around the mate. (wikipedia.org)
- A bag valve mask, abbreviated to BVM and sometimes known by the proprietary name Ambu bag or generically as a manual resuscitator or "self-inflating bag", is a hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately. (wikipedia.org)
commonly
- Whey protein is commonly used for improving athletic performance, but evidence to support this use is mixed. (webmd.com)
incidence
- OSA is also associated with increased incidence of stroke 10 and risk of motor vehicle accidents 11 . (sleepscience.org.br)
- A study of 100 post-op patients followed with serial chest X-rays and temperature measurements showed that the incidence of fever decreased as the incidence of atelectasis increased. (wikipedia.org)
lower
- A dose of 0.5 mg should be used only for exceptional patients who do not respond adequately to a trial of a lower dose since the risk of several adverse reactions increases with the size of the dose administered. (rxlist.com)
range of mot
- Heat increases blood flow to the affected area and improves range of motion. (balegoonline.org)
- These bars are designed for increasing strength and range of motion, as well as improving motor skills, balance, and endurance. (balegoonline.org)
patient
- A 3-minute Skin Conductivity Enhancement significantly reduces wear times, improving patient throughput and providing increased convenience for patients. (balegoonline.org)
include
- Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. (wikipedia.org)
Medications
- I-Bresis Charging Station The Right Medication, the Right Application Medications with positive or negative polarity Flexible, time-saving treatment. (balegoonline.org)
people
- The increase in average age of the population, more people with chronic diseases, on immunosuppressive drugs, and increase in the number of invasive procedures being performed has led to an increased rate of sepsis. (wikipedia.org)
Furthermore
- Furthermore, since ob gene expression was increased, not decreased, in human obesity, it suggested resistance to leptin to be a possibility. (wikipedia.org)
mechanism
- The specific mechanism involved is increased release of the "stress hormones", epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine which increase blood output from the heart and constrict arteries. (wikipedia.org)
Healthy
- The long-term growth prospective of the Indian economy is positive due to its young population, corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. (wikipedia.org)
lead
- The drop in blood pressure seen in sepsis may lead to shock. (wikipedia.org)
risk
- Smokers and the elderly are also at an increased risk. (wikipedia.org)
cause
- Frequently, if liquorice is the cause of the high blood pressure, a low blood level of potassium will also be present. (wikipedia.org)
high
- DOC has blood-pressure raising effects similar to aldosterone, and abnormally high levels result in hypokalemic hypertension. (wikipedia.org)
- Insufficient blood flow may be evident by low blood pressure, high blood lactate, or low urine output. (wikipedia.org)
structural
- Here, however, increased CO cannot solve the structural problems causing renal artery hypotension, with the result that CO remains chronically elevated. (wikipedia.org)
