Factors Related To Blood Pressure In Adults In The Intensive Care Unit Bhayangkara Hospital Raden Said Sukanto Year 2019

Blood pressure is a measure of the force that directs blood to flow through the body's circulation. Blood pressure is needed by the body to carry oxygen and other nutrients to the body's tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors associated with blood pressure in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This study uses a quantitative method with an analytic survey approach. The population in this study were all patients in the ICU ward at Bhayangkara Tk.I R. Said Sukanto Hospital, as many as 133 patients. The sample required in this study is 100 respondents. The statistical test used was chi square. There is a relationship between age (p = 0.032), gender (p = 0.016), medication (p = 0.009), and exercise (p = 0.000) with blood pressure in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Bhayangkara Hospital Tk.I R . Said Sukanto. There was no relationship between races (p = 0.052). The results showed an association between age, gender, medication and exercise with blood pressure Keywords: Age, Gender, Race, Medication, Exercise, Blood Pressure

Physiological Exercise and Post‐Exercise Effects of Inverse Sequences of Combined Bench‐Step Aerobics and Resistance Exercise

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of using inverse sequences of combined bench-step aerobics and resistance exercise on cardiorespiratory, hemodynamic and perceptual variables during exercise and one-hour post-exercise. The tested sequences were bench-step aerobics immediately before and immediately after resistance exercise. Thirteen apparently healthy and physically active women (age = 21.9 ± 6.1 years, body height = 160 ± 0.1 cm, body mass = 58.8 ± 7.5 kg, estimated fat mass = 17.2 ± 2.0% and estimated maximal oxygen uptake = 37.5 ± 2.6 mL∙kg-1∙min-1) performed a 20-minute bench-step aerobics routine, immediately before (STEP_RES) and after (RES_STEP) resistance exercise. Oxygen uptake and heart rate were continuously measured, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature and perceived exertion were measured at rest, immediately after each type of exercise and at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after exercise. When resistance exercise was performed first (RES_STEP), oxygen uptake was higher (23.2 ± 3.9 vs. 20.5 ± 4.8 mL∙kg-1∙min-1), but the heart rate (164.5 ± 9.1 vs. 173.9 ± 11.7 bpm) and body temperature (36.5 ± 0.4 vs. 37.6 ± 0.6 ºC) were lower. In both sequences, the type of exercise performed first was pointed out with a lower perceived exertion or lower perceived intensity. Exercise and 60-min post-exercise blood pressure had a similar response in both sequences, and systolic blood pressure along with diastolic blood pressure were lower than pre-exercise from 30 min until 60 min post-exercise. The results suggest that the sequence affected oxygen uptake and perceived exertion during exercise and that this total workload, despite the sequence, promoted a post-exercise blood pressure decrease in normotensive participants.

Effects of 7-day supplementation with escalating doses of citrulline nitrate on resting and post-exercise blood pressure and safety biomarkers in healthy men: A randomized controlled trial

We investigated the effects of 7-day supplementation with three different dosages of citrulline nitrate (CN) on blood pressure at rest and after exercise, biochemical safety markers, and self-reported outcome measures of adverse events in healthy men. 12 apparently healthy young men (age 25.9 ± 4.0 years; weight 78.6 ± 10.0 kg, height 181.0 ± 7.0 cm) volunteered to participate in this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial. The dosages of CN were 1.5 g per day (low dose), 3.0 g per day (medium dose), and 6.0 g per day (high dose). No significant differences were found for systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate at rest and after exercise between varying doses of CN and placebo ( p > 0.05). In addition, hematological indices, biochemical variables, and clinical enzyme profiles were not affected by either intervention ( p > 0.05), and the type and frequency of side effects were comparable to the placebo group. Citrulline nitrate was safe and well tolerated when administered for 7 days in dosages up to 6 g per day.
