Excellent Compressions

By ford · Comments (0)

When resuscitating the cardiac arrest victim one must consider the importance of external chest compressions. The person who is performing chest compressions must push hard and fast in order to maintain systemic circulation. After two minutes of CPR, the person giving ventilation to the victim should exchange places with the compressor. This is done in order to prevent exhaustion of the Allied healthcare provider. The American Heart Association stresses that we should perform CPR and a very high level for the patient to have a chance of full recovery.

Hopefully, there is someone there who can neither call 911 or who could retrieve an automated external defibrillator. As soon as the defibrillator arrives, attacks the pads and follow all the verbal prompts. The AED may advise a shock. The AED will charge and be ready to deliver a jolt of electricity into the heart. You should make sure that compressions are ceased until the defibrillator has completed its process. The emergency medical services should arrive in less than 10 minutes at the patient’s side. Contact your local fire department or your hospital to learn more about CPR.

Medical Class Update

By ford · Comments (0)

Hi guys, we just finished up the first day of the ACLS initial course. The ACLS certification course is approved by the American Heart Association. Those of you who have never attended an advanced cardiac life support program, you must attend the American Heart Association today initial program in order to be certified in advanced cardiac life support. There are many different components that make up this program. You must be very well versed in the recognition of EKG arrhythmias. Pharmacology as well as EKG interpretation is a must in order to do well in the initial ACLS course.

As we move forward into the new millennium, technology will help the Allied healthcare provider with the interpretation of EKG’s. We will be providing an online ACLS refresher course for those of you who need additional training. We will be teaching EKG as well as the ACLS algorithms. In addition, we will have video demonstrations on the core components of doing excellent cardiopulmonary resuscitation with the implementation of advanced life support. Our instructors will demonstrate how I’m Allied healthcare provider should transition from one algorithm to the next. For those of you who would be interested in purchasing our video, please fill free to contact us by phone or by e-mail. For any additional questions or further inquiries please reach us through our contact information page posted on our website.

Heart Conduction

By ford · Comments (0)

The conduction system of the myocardium is very unique in the sense that it generates its own impulse. While attending the local community college for anatomy and physiology, many of you may have learned that the mild corneal tissue is a very specialized muscle. All of the myocardial cells have the ability to create automaticity, conductivity as well as contractility. For this reason alone the heart is consider to be very unique.

The sino-atrial node is responsible for generating the initial impulse which travels down the internodal pathways until it reaches the AV nodal tissue. After reaching the halfway mark, the atrium will contract sending the remaining blood forcefully down into the ventricles. As a result, the ventricles become very pressurized and the papillary muscles are stretched and as they are stretched they contract in response to close the bicuspid as well as the tricuspid valves. The electrical impulse is released from the atrial ventricular node where it travels down the bundle of his until he separates into the right and left bundle branch respectively. The energy or the impulse continues on its journey until it reaches the Purkinje Fibers.

After the electrical impulse has reached the outermost portion of the ventricles, the lower portion of the myocardial tissue begins to contract. This contraction helps to eject blood from the vehicles themselves to provide perfusion to the brain, coronary artery circulation as well as systemic circulation.

The Human Body

By ford · Comments (0)

The human body is very complex and is widely studied today. The study of the human body is very important because it helps us to have the knowledge needed to heal or be healed should the need arise. Our bodies are consist of many parts that are in some cases visible to the naked eye and some are not. There are many tools and courses such as ACLS used to study the human body. In the following paragraphs we will briefly touch on some of the parts of the human body.

Some of the parts of the human body are the cells, tissues, organs, and bones. The cells of the body perform many functions. There are estimated to be over 100 trillion cells in the human body with each cell having its role or purpose. Some other organisms however are so small that they only consist of one cell. Our bodies are very complex and need many calls to survive. These cells require oxygen and blood in order to operate effectively. This is one of the main reasons we need to take care of ourselves, so we keep our blood flow moving properly.Tissues are cells that work together to accomplish a single function. There are four different types of tissue classifications. These are connective, nerve, muscle, and epithelial tissues. Connective tissues are fibrous tissues in which hold organs in place and in shape. Some examples of these tissues are blood and bones.

Muscle tissues are tissues in which contract. They support movement within eternal organs and are classified into three groups. These groups are smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles. Nervous tissues are cells in which form the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The Epithelial tissues assist in protecting organisms from microorganisms as well as injury and the loss of fluids.

Organs are several different tissues working together in order to achieve a function. Some of the organs of the human body include the eyes, ears, heart, and lungs. The largest organ of the human body is of course the skin. Organs can be hollow and other organs can be solid. Some examples of hollow organs are stomach, heart and the urinary bladder. Some examples of solid organs are the liver, spleen, and the pancreas.

Our bones are organs that protect various organs of the body. Bones are also responsible for the production of red and white blood cells as well as storing minerals. Bones come in many shapes and sizes and are very strong. In most cases if one of our bones break, it can be repaired with expert medical assistance.

These all are just the tip of knowledge we know today about the human body. Our body consists of so much more than what we have briefly talked about. If you would like to learn more pick up an anatomy book or go to a school that pertains to the medical field. If you are seeking employment in the medical field, you will need to know all about the human body.
