Pulse Oximeter Ashwin Muthu (15251057) Medical Instrumentation EE611[A] Department of Electronics Engineering NUI, Maynooth Abstract— This paper explains us the importance and the working of the pulse oximeter. Since oxygen is the most important thing in the human body the paper explains how the body works with the intake of oxygen and what happens when there is a reduction of oxygen in a human body. The main objective of this paper is to understand the importance of oxygen for the human
commonly called the arterial or peripheral pulse. The pulse weather regular, irregular, thready or strong, gives a good overall picture of the clients health status. Several characteristics should be assessed when measuring the radial pulse rate, rhythm, amplitude, contour and elasticity of the various characteristics. amplitude can be quantified as follows 1 thready or weak 2 normal 3bounding If abnormalities are noted during assessment of the radial pulse further assessment should be performed for
Monitoring The appropriate selection of the specific physiologic parameters that should be monitored during the MRI procedure is vital for patient safety. They consist of MRI safe Pulse oximeter, Electrocardiograph and respiratory bellows or pneumatic capsules. This physiologic parameter is measured using pulse oximetry, a monitoring technique that measures the oxygenation of tissue. Due to which oxygen saturated blood absorbs differing quantities of light compared with unsaturated blood, the amount
measure heart rate (or pulse). One simple method is to manually count the pulse by placing finger on Radial pulse (Wrist) or the Carotid pulse (neck). The need for the ceaseless observation of the heart rate motivates for the invention of heart rate monitors. Another essential factor is the Oxygen saturation (So2 or SpO2), the oxygen concentration in hemoglobin. As the name says, we need oxygen to survive. To achieve this, the technique Pulse oximetry is employed. Pulse oximetry produces a graph, called
Lab Report The Effects of Drugs on Cardiac Physiology The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside
The Effect of Music on Heart Rate Aim: To investigate if listeners to music can affect their heart rate in any possible way. Method: Firstly we lay them on the back to get the resting heart rate and we test the people's heart rates before they listen to the music. Then we let them listen to the music, see if anything has happened, and then write the results of their heart beats to see if there was any dramatic change. Fair test: To make sure it is a fair test; the procedure
Ripped Fuel is a dangerous supplement and it is important that my cousin and his parents know what Ripped Fuel is and the present and long term effects of using this product. Even at an appropriate age, taking Ripped Fuel can have negative side effects on the person consuming it. A few of these side effects include: insomnia, nervousness, and headaches; all of which are caused by the high doses of caffeine. In more serious cases, there have been reports of heart palpations, tremors, and agitation
Szilagyi, 2013). Respiratory Assessment The two most common thorax deformities are funnel chest and barrel chest. Funnel chest describes a depressed sternum that increases pressure on the underlying organs and may result in changes in blood pressure or pulse rate. In contrast, barrel chest characterizes a rounded chest where the ribs are elevated, separated more than normal, and have an almost completely horizontal slope (Smeltzer, Bare, & Hinkle, 2010). At the beginning of the gross examination, the
the same exercise so I am unbiased, and allow three minutes of rest between each trail so the body can restore to its nautral resting rate. Method: 1. Firstly take your resting breathing rate by placing two fingers on an area where this is a pulse, for
Bowman et al. (2015)/(2017) showed that music can decrease stress of dogs in a kennel. We wanted to know if this can be repeated in a situation that maybe less stressful than the average day in a kennel. First, we had to confirm our belief that this situation is in fact less stressful for dogs. This consisted of comparing the average of five dogs’ stress levels in a kennel to five different dogs’ stress levels of being left at home for 5+ hours. 2.1 Materials and Methods 2.1.1 Subjects The subjects
heart is a part of the circulatory system, which is responsible for pumping blood all around the body to facilitate gas exchange and transport oxygen and important nutrients to the body’s cells (QASMT, 2018). Every pump of the heart can be felt as a pulse in certain parts of the body. However many times the heart pumps in a minute results in the heart rate of an individual, measured in beats per minute (bpm). All cells need energy to function, and the way they produce energy is through cellular respiration
D/A: Mr. Brown had two appointments this week. Consumer was transported to his appointment with Dr. Mulligan in Newark. Disk from consumer CAT scan was taken along with him to his appointment. According to the Nurse’s notes states that static pulmonary nodules enlarged mediastinal right axillary lymph node. Mr. Brown was supported to his appointment with Dr. Ramani on 02/27/17 at 9:30 am. Mr. Brown met with his Psychiatrist Dr. Capiro on 02/26/17. Dr. Capiro provided Mr. Brown a direct service
brain by buzzing them. We decided to include caffeine in our lab by having one out of 2 groups of 5 people drink caffeinated soda .Then, participants completed two activities, taking their pulses after each event. The second group (B) did everything just as group A, except drink any soda. Our hopes were that pulse rates would raise higher with caffeine in the blood stream, and this lab did not disappoint. The hypotheses for this lab stated, “If a person is given caffeinated soda, and then goes and
weight was fat! I was so disappointed, since that was about five percent above what was considered healthy for an average young man of my age. To add to the emotional injury, I also learned that my resting pulse rate was 80 beats per minute (bpm). A young man with strong heart muscles has a pulse rate of 70 bpm or less. I now had the evidence I needed to tell me that a change in lifestyle was required. I decided to start an exercise program using a pair of rollerblades I had received as a gift from
first participant measured her pulse rate for 30 seconds before starting the exercise. Her pulse rate was calculated to determine the number of beats per minute. She then stepped on the platform (up and down) and continued at a slow pace for 3 minutes. After three minutes of the exercise, she measured her pulse rate every minute to determine her recovery time. This process was repeated until her pulse rate returned to normal. The amount of time taken in seconds for her pulse rate to return to normal is
What is the Effect of Watching Various Emotional Videos on Average Heart Rates? Introduction Throughout the body, blood is constantly being pumped during the Circulatory system from the heart to the lungs and body and back to the heart. The heart repeats this process multiple times per minute that varies in accordance to the independent variable (i.e. emotion, sugar intake or level of exertion). As the emotion grows more intense, the body then releases adrenaline and other chemicals to start sweating
Personal Exercise Plan Introduction: The two main areas of my Personal Exercise Plan are Health Related Fitness and Skill Related Fitness. My aim is to improve my Health and Skill Related Fitness overall. I will do this by creating a 6 week program of all the different sports and exercises that I do each day. From this I will be choosing two training methods. These will be Circuit Training and Interval Training. My Circuit Training is made up of 5 stations . At each station you do
Analysis of Performance - Netball Activity to be analysed: Netball Game (WA) Skills and Techniques Required: To play a sound game of Netball, you need a range of both attacking and defensive skills. There are many other aspects, which are required to ensure a good Netball player. For example agility. This is a very important component, as agility is needed in a variety of circumstances. A Netball player needs to be able to get free and receive a pass from their team member. To do
Investigating Oxygen Debt During Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise Introduction During this experiment I am aiming to investigate the oxygen debt in two people after exercise. During exercise energy is needed in the muscles. Energy comes from food which is converted into glucose and for the most efficient energy supply muscles also need oxygen. When energy is produced using oxygen this is called aerobic respiration. The formula for aerobic respiration is: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide
its’ cardiac cycle. I believe that throughout this investigation, the heart rate of the people of the people I will be experimenting on will speed up and rise to a very fast pace. I also think that although the heart rate is bound to increase, the pulse will eventually reach its maximum acceleration and stay steady after a long period of exercising. I do not believe that will be the result in my experiment for a main reason that the longest period of time people will be exercising in is 2.5 minutes
