…anxiety, intense emotion, the sight of blood, unpleasant sights and odors, and orthostatic stress. Situational triggers such as acute hemorrhage, cough, defecation, laugh, micturition, sneeze…

Terminology of sudden cardiac arrest and resuscitation

…Unconsciousness occurs within 10 seconds of cessation of cerebral blood flow. Agonal breathing : Deep, slow, irregular breaths with a frequency of 1 to 4 breaths…

Physics of ultrasound

…amplitude , frequency , speed , and direction . The underlying mathematical principles are simple and important to understand. Figure 2 illustrates the wavelength and amplitude of sine curves…

Optimization of the ultrasound image

…is done using high frequency waves. The frequency of the ultrasound wave must generally be reduced in order to visualize objects located far away from…

Cryotherapy of skin lesions

…margin must be included in the freeze. Contraindications Absolute: Suspected melanoma or any other pigmented lesion of uncertain diagnosis. A lesion in which histology is…

Technical aspects of the ultrasound image

…will alter the characteristics of ultrasound waves (e.g. frequency) . This is actually exploited to calculate the direction and speed of tissue and fluid movements…

Hemodynamic principles and calculations

…to assess the velocity and direction of blood flow. This is possible because sound waves that hit moving objects are reflected at an altered frequency…

Performing Echocardiographic Examinations

…means that the machine emits ultrasound waves with a certain frequency and subsequently records reflected sound waves at double the frequency of the emitted waves…

Doppler effect and Doppler echocardiography

…the sound waves are compressed, which leads to a shortening of the wavelength and thus increased frequency. When the sound source moves away from the…
