15. Gravity is your friend.Let the patient’s arm dangle down on the side of the bed if no veins are observed to promote venous filling. Gravity slows venous return and distends the veins. Full and distended veins are easier to palpate and are always an excellent option for insertion. 16...
The dragon pistol also has quite a bit in common with the shrimp squat, as both moves begin with the non-squatting leg behind the body, rather than in front. As such, you may find that holding your toe behind your back at the top of a dragon pistol (similar to how you would in a...

To be able to promote the patient’s integrity, self-determination and participation in the prescription of assistive devices for patients at risk of developing DFUs, the integration of the EHR in primary care, municipality care and specialist care is needed. At the time of this study, the DP...
metabolism and elimination of drugs is expected to be different in space. The recent episode on the ISS in which the administration of anticoagulants became necessary to treat a case of asymptomatic venous thrombosis (VT) of the internal jugular vein of an astronaut, further highlights the importan...
A cooldown is designed to promote recovery and return the body to a pre-exercise or pre-workout level. This can be accomplished in a variety of different ways. You can walk or jog, stretch, or even engage in mindfulness to help your body relax and recover. Whether physical or mental ac...
Explain how we overcome a low venous pressure through assistance of various anatomical structures (e.g. skeletal muscles, etc.) to return blood back to the heart from our lower extremities. How is the distribution of blood flow affected by an increase in exercise intensity?
Habits that reduce oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling, LDL-cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, support metabolic health and weight maintenance, and promote gut microbial balance are key to preventing both venous and arterial clots and their consequences (eg, VTE or post-thrombotic syndrome)....
Venous blood sampling is commonly performed in neonates. In addition to complementary interventions like non-nutritive sucking, sucrose, or containment, the technique used for blood sampling is also of relevance, as shown in two studies including 120 and 100 healthy term neonates. In the study by...
