[THE STATE OF HAEMODYNAMIC INDICES IN FIRST-GRADE PUPILS DURING THE ADAPTATION TO SCHOOL]
Abstract:
For the determination of haemodynamic indices during the period of in adaptation in children there was examined 271 schoolboy from the gymnasium of the city of Krasnoyarsk There was studied the dynamics of haemodynamic indices in the course of adaptation, there were detected the degree of influence of haemodynamic indices on the process of adaptation, there were revealed features of haemodynamic indices in children with the various forecast of a course of adaptation. Children with the unfavorable forecast of adaptation to school had according to data of cardiorhythmography (CRG) low values of power in a range of slow waves during the period of restoration of the orthostatic test that testifies to the raised tone of sympathetic nervous system. There were established the correlation interrelationships of the forecast of adaptation of children to school with changed (raised, lowered) level of arterial pressure and Robinson's index value.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System I: Subjective Data
Initial Enquiry
Ask the patient about their primary concern and thoroughly explore all reported symptoms.
Medical History
Investigate past illnesses affecting the cardiovascular system, such as angina, anemia, rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, stroke, thrombophlebitis, dysrhythmias, varicosities
Inquire about symptoms...
Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
