Obtaining a 12 lead ECG is the most important assessment after obtaining

the above results.

The blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate given are abnormal and

common features of cardiac ischemia which is the decreased blood and

oxygen flow to the heart. This could lead to a heart attack if not immediately

treated.

A 12 lead ECG assists in the screening of the individual for cardiac ischemia

so that treatment can be start immediately if the result comes out positive.

Hey can someone help me with my essay. Should Athletes with Serious Concussions Receive Special Treatment in the Classroom?
raketka [301]
Personally I believe Athletes with serious concussion should get some special treatment. Getting a concussion is not fun. It can be very pain. Having a concussion can make it very hard to think. It also make you very sensitive to light. Giving them accommodations and giving the Athletes some special treatments will enable them to learn better.

A threatened abortion is described by vaginal bleeding before 20 weeks of gestation in the presence of a positive urine and/or blood pregnancy test with a closed cervical os, without passage of sperm or eggs, and without signs of fetal or embryonic death.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a threatened abortion as open bleeding or pregnancy-related bloody vaginal discharge that occurs during the first half of the pregnancy without cervical dilatation.
