Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
sorry in advance if this was previously answered.
but the rules say "Measurement of the pulse rate and blood pressure with appropriate instrumentation" does it mean we need to know about the theoretical part of such a measurement or should we be able to measure it hands on? the intro says written test about the following, so i am assuming it is to answer questions about it, but wanted to double check?

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
You should know the calculation for pulse rate and blood pressure and what instruments to use. There shouldn't be any hands on testing of heart rate, or not from what I've seen.bp31000 wrote:sorry in advance if this was previously answered.

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
Wait, so do they use any other instruments other than the ECG? Also, I can't find any source explaining the Frank-Starling's Law of the Heart. What is it exactly?bp31000 wrote:Thanks!cbrant554 wrote: You should know the calculation for pulse rate and blood pressure and what instruments to use.

To answer your question, I didn't really find 'articles' that I could study and understand, but I did find some videos on youtube, if that helps.WangwithaTang wrote:Wait, so do they use any other instruments other than the ECG?

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
Also, do you guys have a way to find out if you're ready for the regionals test? And what are your last minute preparations/things you revisit?

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
Take practice tests for sure (which you should do for all of your study events), I mean idk anything else that is a good indicator of readiness.donutsandcupcakes wrote:Also, do you guys have a way to find out if you're ready for the regionals test?

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
i guess they can ask questions about tachycardia and bradicardia arrhythmia etc all detected via EKG, also sphigmomanometer for bloodpressure measurements, may be you need to identify the instrument. most hospitals use digital ones but the original one used to be mercury and manual inflation.WangwithaTang wrote:Wait, so do they use any other instruments other than the ECG?

as for frank starling's law, you can read the page about it in a site cvphysiology, the picture of pressure volume loop is one that could be asked. (i am not sure if i can post links here, hence just posting how to find the article.

Re: Anatomy and Physiology B/C
Very similar to the previous question, but did anybody find an easier explanation of the law? Because I found some sources, but they didn't help me understand the law. Any help would be greatly appreciated.WangwithaTang wrote:Okay, thanks.bp31000 wrote:i guess they can ask questions about tachycardia and bradicardia arrhythmia etc all detected via EKG, also sphigmomanometer for bloodpressure measurements, may be you need to identify the instrument. most hospitals use digital ones but the original one used to be mercury and manual inflation.WangwithaTang wrote: Wait, so do they use any other instruments other than the ECG?
