the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute; equal to the stroke
volume x the number of beats per minute
Consolidation of the Lungs

occurs when fluid accumulates, causing the lung tissue to become stiff and
unable to exchange gases
,Hypothyroidism
Give this one a try later!
-a decrease in thyroid hormone

Modified Allen Test
Give this one a try later!
-used to evaluate the adequacy of collateral circulation
before cannulating (putting an IV in) the radial artery
-test consists of occluding both the ulnar and radial arteries
while the patient makes a fist, then releasing the arteries
while they open their palm; the color should return to their
palm in less than 7 seconds
