The patient can resume normal activities immediately after the test.
With an anxious patient, the heart beats faster. With a calm patient, the heart beats at the normal rate.
A seven-day diet plan for a heart surgery patient would depend on the type of surgery and the underlying condition. For example, a valve replacement patient may not need significant fat and sodium restriction beyond that of a normal patient. A neonatal heart surgery patient should be on breastmilk.
130/90 That depends from patient to patient especially if you are a heart patient or on medication. You really should contact a cardiologist or your family doctor. They may have some sites that they recommend for patients like you and for your condition.
Assessment of NSR (Normal Sinus Rhythm) means that the patient's heart is beating in a normal pattern, originating from the sinus node in the heart. This indicates that the heart is functioning normally without any abnormal rhythms or conduction disturbances. It is considered a healthy and typical heart rhythm.
Such questions will continue to come from senior doctors. When you listen some abnormal heart sounds, you should go for ecocardiogram of the patient. With Doppler study, you will get complete information of the defects and blood flow of the heart. You have to listen heart sounds very routinely to know the 'normal' heart sounds. There is no short cut for the same.
All patients have tracheas; this is a normal part of the body. Putting a patient on a heart monitor is required in some situations, and not in others. For instance, a patient with heart trouble being seen in the primary care provider's office for poison ivy would not be put on a heart monitor.
A normal heart beat should be somewhere between 60-100 beats per minute.
== == The labor and delivery nurse is responsible for interpreting the fetal heart rate, cervical change, and the status of the patient. We are responsible for initiiating inductions, assisting the laboring patient with pain control or helping those who chose to labor unmedicated. Once the patient is completely dilated we begin the pushing process, and call for the physician once the baby is ready to be delivered. The labor and delivery nurse is the main caretaker of the patient and baby until the moment of delivery at which point the doctor arrives. Labor and delivery nurses assist with cesarean sections, as well as fetal demise. Labor and delivery nurses do a lot more than fetch juice and water.

No. Since there are now ways to adequately connect the donor nerves to the transplant patient, these nerves are not kept. For this reason, the transplanted heart lacks the innervation of the normal heart.
When used with a heart attack patient who is suffering form arrhythmia or who's heart has stopped completely. The defibrillator causes the muscles of the heart contract, (hopefully) and to return to its normal rhythmic pattern.
