Blood Pressure Dynamics

Comparison of Various Blood Pressure Measurement Techniques with Standard Office Based Blood Pressure Mesurement

Introduction: In order to control Hypertension, it is necessary to understand the methods of blood pressure measurement. Recent guidelines emphasize on employing appropriate blood pressure measurement techniques and white coat hypertension. Definition and methods of blood pressure measurement have changed in the American guideline based on SPRINT trial (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Tria...

Blood and Blood-Pressure

Deliberately Lowering Blood Pressure with Sodium Nitroprusside

The goal of hyptensive anesthesia is the safe reduction of intraoperative blood loss, thus reducing transfusion risks.  Previous hypotensive technics had a narrow margin of safety in that cardiac output was usually reduced in proportion to the degree of induced hypotension. This is in contrast to the results of our study, in which Sodium Nitroprusside was used as the sole hypotensive agent. Ni...

Effect of GABA on blood pressure and blood dynamics of anesthetic rats.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate GABA effects on blood pressure and blood dynamics of anesthetic rats by observing spontaneously hypertensive rats under both anesthesia and waking state. MATERIALS AND METHODS 72 male waking Wistar-Kyokos (WKY) rats and 72 male anesthetized spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group (N = 36 e...

Blood-Pressure

The rapid increase of the literature on the clinical aspects of blood-pressure observations makes the appearance of this work very opportune. The volume is one of 270 pages and deals fully with the subject. The different types of instruments are described and illustrated, specially those of American origin, although they differ but only in details from those in general use in Europe. The physio...
