Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1AYKA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason that children experiencetemporary dizziness when they hang upside-down.
Introduction:
Changes in body postures cause changes in blood pressure. This change is detected by the baroreceptors present in carotid sinus. These receptors help in the maintenance of blood pressure.

In addition, it’s simply a cool bit of physiology that highlights part of the baroreceptor reflex. In simple terms, what effect(s) do/does the manual massaging of the carotid sinus have on the above-noted effector(s)? Why? It is thought that the elderly tend to have hypersensitivity with this reflex; often contributing to death. It’s also believed that this response partially contributes to death by hanging or by manual strangulation. Briefly describe how this too is consistent with your understanding of the reflex.arrow_forwardMatt, a 54-year-old roofer, just fell 12 metres from a building under construction. Initially he struck the ground with his feet, then fell onto his left side. Conscious and alert at the scene, he complains of severe back and lower leg pain.His vital signs: Blood Pressure- 140/88 mmHg; Heart Rate- 112 bpm; Respiratory Rate- 28 bpm; SaO2- 96% on Room Air; and Temperature- 36.7⁰C. His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is 15.Paramedics administer oxygen at a flow rate of 15 litres/minute via Non-Rebreather Mask and apply a cervical collar and a backboard to immobilise his neck and spine. They also place a 16-gauge Peripheral Intravenous Canula (PIVC) in his left forearm and begin an infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride solution.When Matt is brought into Emergency Department (ED), he can speak clearly and provide an account of the accident.Identify the nursing assessments with rationales that should be provided in the first hour upon receiving Matt from the paramedicsarrow_forward
