NOVEMBER 10,12 – CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY

Exercise 31 and 33:

CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY

Exercise 31: Electrocardiography. Read about conduction, electrocardiography and standard leads in your laboratory manual. Perform an ECG using the Cardiocomp system.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY; USING INTELITOOL CARDIOCOMP TM

GETTING STARTED

1.With PC computer, McADDAM II and ECG cables connected, you may power up the PC and McADDAM II. The power indicator on the upper right hand corner of McADDAM II will light when the unit is turned on.

2.Launch the Cardiocomp program by clicking on the start menu and highlighting programs, Intelitool, and the select Cardiocomp1. Once loaded, pull down file menu, select new, and click ok.

3.The data collection will stop automatically after the time specified under File Setup. You may change the duration to 60 seconds for shorter collection period. If desired, the sample rate may be slowed down to 60 samples/second (measured in Hz) from Rate setting under File Setup.

4.Although all three leads should be examined during this exercise, start with Lead II. Select I, II, or III to change Leads under the Lead pull down menu.

PREPARING THE SUBJECT

1.Snap the three flat plate electrodes to the black, green and red cables.

2.Remove any jewelry on the wrists or ankles. Scrub the area thoroughly where the electrodes are to be applied {See locations on Lead 1,2,3 diagrams on computer.} Wipe the cleaned area with 70% alcohol on cotton.

3.Apply a liberal amount of electrode gel to the contact surface of the electrode.

4.Strap the electrode to the appropriate appendage (anywhere on the wrist and ankle) so the strap is snug but not too tight . Make sure the subject is comfortable and that their circulation is not restricted.

5.In addition to proper electrode application, signal clarity and stability can be enhanced by ensuring that the electrode cables remain stationary during data acquisition. Any wiggling of the wires relative to each other will introduce noise into the signal. Try to keep the wires being used in a group – taping them together often helps. Also, do not drape any of the wires, including the one which plugs into the computer, over a potential noise source such as a power cord. If the subject is in a supine position on a table, it will be easier to keep the wires stationary.

6.Remember to move cables to the appropriate appendage on the subject when changing Leads on the computer! The ground electrode must be used on the right leg at all times.

THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

1.When the subject is ready, click “Start” to begin acquiring data. You can stop data acquisition at any time by clicking the mouse.

2.Examine and analyze your data. Identify the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave. Note any differences in the appearance of the various waves for the different Leads.

3.Select Analyze from under the Acquire pull down menu or by clicking the shortcut button located on the top-right of the Data Acquisition window. Time/Voltage allows you to measure time intervals and voltage differences between any two points in the data set. The numbers displayed in the “Difference” box represent the difference between two data points identified by data markers. Create data markers by placing arrow on desired data point on ECG and clicking mouse. If you hold the mouse button and drag the mouse after creating the first data marker, you can see the absolute voltage for any point in the window. Click “Reset” to erase data markers so that they can be positioned elsewhere in the data set. An automatic analysis may be used by selecting the on field to replace using data markers.

4.Print your data as desired.

INTERPRETATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

1.The P wave represents atrial depolarization and the QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization. The T wave represents ventricular repolarization. Atrial repolarization is not visible, as it occurs during the dominant QRS complex.

2.The P-Q interval is often called the P-R interval because the Q wave is usually small or absent. The normal P-Q interval time is 0.12-0.20 sec. The normal QRS complex duration is less than 0.10 sec, and the Q-T interval should be less than 0.38 sec. How do your results compare with these normal values?

3.Determine the ventricular rate by measuring the elapsed time between two R waves. Divide 60 by your time between R waves. by 60. The ventricular rate is in beats per minute.

DECEMBER 1,3 – RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY, URINALYSIS,REPRODUCTION

 Exercise 37:

RESPIRATORY PHYSIOLOGY

Exercise 37: Respiratory System Physiology

1) Listen to respiratory sounds using a stethoscope as described in Activity 2.

2) Record respiratory volumes in Activity 3 using the Vernier Probes or wet spirometer.

Use the Vernier sensors or wet spirometer to record your respiratory volumes and capacities. Record your Respirations per minute, Tidal Volume, Minute Respiratory Volumen, , Expiratory Reserve Volume, Vital Capacity, and Inspiration Reserve Volume in Activity 3.

For Vernier Sensors: -Connect the Vernier Spirometer to the LabQuest interface, channel 1.

-Assemble the mouthpieces by placing the larger diameter side of a white bacterial filter to the “Inlet” side of the Spirometer. Attach a gray disposable mouthpiece to the other end of the bacterial filter. The assembly is similar to Figure 37A.12.

-Hold the Spirometer assembly in both hands and brace your arms against the table. Make sure that you hold the spirometer straight up and down and do not move it during data collection. Click on Sensor and choose “zero” for calibration. Note: The graph has “flow” on the Y axis as default. You can change this to volume by clicking on the Y axis and changing it to volume.

-Click the “play” button to begin data collection. Record the Tidal Volume, Inspiratory Reserve Volume, Expiratory Reserve Volume and Vital Capacity as described in your lab manual in Activity 3. Inspiratory values go downward on the screen and expiratory values go up. Click on the peak of your waves and record the flow rate.

3) Complete Activity 6 without using a spirometer.
