The perpuse of this research is to determine the effect of foot massage on physiologic indicators including pulse, respiration and mean arterial pressure. The hypothesis of this research is that foot massage decreases the patient´s heart rate, respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure. This research is a quasiexperimental study and a self-control clinical trial with repeated measures in witch...

Background: To evaluate general anesthesia with sevoflurane vs spinal anesthesia with low dose lidocaine 5% onhemodynamics changes in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods: In this randomized double blind trial 100 patients (50 patients in each group) older than 60 years underhip surgery were randomized in general anesthesia with sevoflurane and spinal anesthesia with lidocaine 5%.He...

magnesium sulfate is widely used in obstetrics and is drug of choice in two important complications of pregnancy, preeclampsia and preterm labor. the antagonistic effects of magnesium sulfate on calcium ion and on platelet aggregation may lead to changes in bleeding time. this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of magnesium sulfate on bleeding time in women with threatened preterm labor...

pulmonary hypertension is rare but is one of the complications that occur due to hiv infection. symptoms of hiv-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension are often non-specific but the main symptom of the disease is dyspnea. in this cross-sectional study, we measured systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (spap) by echocardiographic methods among hiv-positive patients who received art. this rese...

PURPOSE To study daytime or nighttime variability of mean arterial pressure and ocular perfusion pressure in untreated normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients and determine whether increased short-term mean arterial pressure and/or ocular perfusion pressure variability are associated with greater risk of visual field (VF) progression. DESIGN Longitudinal, retrospective, observational study. ...

purpose to investigate the effects of a 10-week water aerobic exercise on the resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension referring to tehran university clinics. methods forty men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension were assigned to two groups of intervention [n = 12; aged 48.33±10.74 years (mean±sd)] and control [n = 28; aged 46.96±11.58 years (mean±sd)]. subjects in...

PURPOSE To determine whether there is a physiologic explanation for the predisposition of patients with certain angiographic characteristics to symptoms of hemorrhage and steal. METHODS Superselective transcatheter feeding arterial pressure and mean arterial pressure measurements were obtained before embolotherapy in 32 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Pressures were correl...

background: long surgery causes hypothermia and increased bleeding and can increase the arterial blood lactate levels during anesthesia. it causes cellular hypoxia and its complications. considering the core temperature of the patient during surgery it can prevent hypoxia. this study aimed to compare the effects of different temperatures on the core temperature and the concentrations of lactate...

Arterial blood pressure measurements were obtained from 158 healthy Irish wolfhounds using the oscillometric technique to establish reference values for the breed. In contrast to other sight hounds, Irish wolfhounds have low arterial blood pressure. Mean systolic pressure for the group was 116.0 mm Hg. Mean diastolic pressure was 69.2 mm Hg, and the mean value for mean arterial pressure was 87....
