Decreased pulse rate

Decreased pulse rate

Bradycardia is a medical condition in which the heart rate is slower than normal. It occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinus node, generates slower electrical impulses than the standard rhythm. In adults, bradycardia is diagnosed when the pulse rate falls below 60 beats per minute, indicating a deviation from the normal heart rate range.
There are specific risk factors that can elevate the likelihood of developing bradycardia. Advanced age is a significant factor, with...

Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

Dysrhythmias IV: Characteristics of Bradyarrhythmias

Dysrhythmias IV: Characteristics of Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are cardiac rhythm disorders characterized by a slower-than-normal heart rate, typically defined as fewer than 60 beats per minute. Some of which are discussed here:Sinus BradycardiaSinus bradycardia presents a heart rate lower than 60 beats per minute, with a regular rhythm originating from the SA node. The ECG typically shows normal P waves preceding each QRS complex, a normal PR interval (0.12 to 0.20 seconds), and a normal QRS duration (0.06 to 0.10 seconds).First-Degree AV...

Crossover Experiments

Crossover Experiments

Crossover experiments, also called the repeated-measurements design, is a study design in which all experimental units are exposed to all treatments in different periods. Crossover experiments are generally used in psychology, the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and medicine.
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Dental extractions can cause vasovagal reactions. This study monitored heart rate during dental extractions, finding a significant decrease in heart rate during and after the procedure.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Cardiology

Background:

Vasovagal reactions are potential complications during dental extractions.
Monitoring patient heart rate is crucial for assessing physiological responses during procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To record and analyze changes in heart rate during simple dental extraction procedures.
Investigate the occurrence of significant heart rate decrease during dental extractions.

Main Methods:

Sixty-one patients undergoing dental extraction provided informed consent.
Heart rate was measured using a pulse oximeter before, during, and after the extraction.
Paired t-test was used for statistical analysis of heart rate data.

Main Results:

The mean heart rates were 88 bpm before, 86 bpm during, and 81 bpm after extraction.
A statistically significant decrease in heart rate was observed during and after the extraction compared to baseline (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

A significant decrease in heart rate occurs during dental extractions, even with local anesthesia and minimal trauma.
These findings highlight the importance of monitoring cardiovascular responses during dental procedures.
