A

1 min

44

A

do not

45

what is the normal range for pulse ox

A

97-99%

48
Q

what situations could be affecting oxygen saturation

A

anemia, lung disease, heart disease

49
Q

systolic

A

blood pushing against the vessel wall
maximum pressure felt on artery during left ventricular contraction

50
Q

diastolic

A

resting blood pressure is pressure against the vessel wall between contractions
when heart is resting

51
Q

what phase lasts longer
diastolic or systolic

systolic drop in >20
diastolic drop in >10

57
Q

if the blood pressure drops in orthostatic pressure what will happen to the pulse/heart rate

lying
sitting
standing

59
Q

what are common causes of orthostatic changes BP
