ABSTRACT The purpose
of our research is to objectively determine if the global hemodynamic
maneuver produces changes in the blood pressure and in the heart rate on
subjects that present ‘essential arterial hypertension’. For
that purpose, we formed a focus group of 50 people, both sexes, of ages between
30 to 70 years. All of them had been diagnosed essential arterial hypertension
and at the time of the study they were under anti-hypertensive drug treatment. Our
total sample was randomly divided in two groups: one ‘study group’, in which we
would realized the global hemodynamic maneuver; and one ‘control group’, that
would receive the placebo technique. The
parameters chosen as indicators to measure the impact of the maneuver were the
following: systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and heart rate. All of these
indicators were registered in both groups, before and after applying the global
hemodynamic maneuver and the placebo technique. A
descriptive statistic analysis was made, and the results of rates were submmit to
a Student’s test t to compare the differences between the averages of the data
under consideration. The
results of this statistic analysis only showed a significant decrease (p<0,05) on both systolic and diastolic
pressure in the ‘control group’ and also in the heart rate on the ‘study group’. That’s
why we can affirm that the global hemodynamic maneuver does not cause changes in the indicators
under study, and that cannot cause any risk to patients presenting ‘essential
arterial hypertension’. |
