|
This study was undertaken to elucidate effect of ingesting cold water on blood pressure and pulse rate of normal healthy men with the purpose of furnishing basic data for nursing intervention of heart disease patients.
The subjects for this study were normal healthy men consisting of 15 women and 15 men in age from 21 to 33 years.
The subjects consisting of 30 men drank 240cc cold water on the first day, ingested 720cc cold water on the second day.
Blood pressure and pulse rate were taken in a sitting position through all trial.
Changes of blood pressure and pulse rate after ingesting cold water were compaired with those of pre-ingestive period.
The results of the study were as follows.
1. There were no significant changes in blood pressure and pulse rate after ingesting 240cc cold water comparing with those of pre-ingestive period.
2. Changes of blood pressure and pulse rate were significantly decreased after ingesting 720cc cold water comparing with those of pre-ingestive period.
In conclusion, the researchers think that it is necessary that a nurse must give her careful consideration to prevent the potential crisis of an ingestion of cold water in coronary care unit and field of critical care.
