When the osmotic pressure of the blood is elevated above normal, water will shift from the interstitial fluid and surrounding tissues into the bloodstream. This movement occurs in an effort to equalize osmotic pressure between the compartments. As a result, the tissues may become dehydrated, leading to potential complications if the elevated osmotic pressure persists.

How do you read a blood pressure test?

A blood pressure test measures two values: systolic and diastolic pressure, expressed in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The systolic pressure, the higher number, indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure, the lower number, reflects the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. For example, a reading of 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal. Blood pressure categories range from normal to hypertension, with readings above 130/80 mm Hg indicating elevated blood pressure.

What are contraindications for cardiac positioning?

Some patients cannot tolerate a 45 degree sitting angle which is normal cardiac positioning. They experience a sharp drop in brain blood pressure (hypotension) or increased heart rate (tachycardia) when the head is elevated above a minimal prone position.


What is the normal diastolic pressure?

Normal blood pressure is given in two numbers. The systolic pressure, or number on the top, is the measurement of how hard the heart is beating at the hardest part of the pump. The diastolic, or bottom number, is the measurement of the pressure at the time when the heart is relaxed. The numbers typically recognized as "perfect" are 120/80. If the systolic pressure goes above 140 it is considered high blood pressure. The diastolic should not go above 100 for normal pressure.
