At Laser Spine Institute, we use advanced, minimally invasive spine procedures to treat neck and back conditions with a smaller incision, lower infection rate and a quicker recovery. Within this short time, everything from pre-operation to post-operation is thoughtfully planned out for you.
Blood Pressure. Your cardiovascular system must maintain an adequate blood pressure in order for blood to be delivered to all of your organs and tissues. If the pressure drops too low, the organs will not receive an adequate perfusion of nourishing blood.
Whenever there is a difference in pressure between two locations fluid flows from the region of high pressure to that of low by bulk flow. The heart causes blood to flow by creating a mean arterial pressure that is greater than the pressure in the veins.Hence, a pressure gradient drives the blood from the arteries to the veins. As blood flows from the arteries to the veins the pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure is called a pressure drop.The pressure drop is greatest in the arterioles and greater in the systemic compared to the pulmonary circuit.his is because the pressure at the other end is the central venous pressure which is approximately 2-8 mm Hg and very close to 0 mm Hg. In a similar way the pressure gradient in the pulmonary circuit is about 15 mm Hg which is about equal to the mean pulmonary arterial pressure.
