| 영문 | blood pressure | 한글 | 혈압 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈압이란 혈관에 걸리는 압력을 말하는 것으로 대개 특별한 설명이 없으면 동맥의 압력을 말한다. 혈압에는 수축기혈압(systolic blood pressure)과 이완기혈압(diastolic blood pressure)이 있다. 수축기혈압이란 심장이 수축할 경우에 동맥에 걸리는 압력을 말하고, 이완기 혈압이란 심장이 이완할 경우에 동맥에 걸리는 압력을 말한다. 당연히 수축기 혈압이 이완기 혈압보다 높다. 혈압을 말할 때에 예를 들어 120/80mmHg이라고 적는 것의 앞의 것은 수축기 혈압을 의미하고 뒤에 적는 80은 이완기 혈압을 의미한다. |

| IOFB | intraocular foreign body |
|---|---|
| IOL | induction of labor; intraocular lens |
| ITR | intraocular tension recorder; intratracheal |
| T + 1, T + 2, T + 3 | first, second, and third stages of increased intraocular tension |
| T-1, T-2, T-3 | first, second, and third stages of decreased intraocular tension |
| blood glucose self-monitoring | Self evaluation of whole blood glucose levels outside the clinical laboratory. A digital or battery-operated reflectance meter may be used. It has wide application in controlling unstable insulin-dependent diabetes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| radiation monitoring | The observation, either continuously or at intervals, of the levels of radiation in a given area, generally for the purpose of assuring that they have not exceeded prescribed amounts or, in case of radiation already present in the area, assuring that the levels have returned to those meeting acceptable safety standards. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monitoring | <investigation> The process of continually checking, observing, recording or testing the operation of some procedure. Monitoring occurs for example during anaesthesia or radiation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monitoring, ambulatory | The use of electronic equipment to observe or record physiologic processes while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monitoring, immunologic | Testing of immune status in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer, immunoproliferative and immunodeficiency disorders, and autoimmune abnormalities. Changes in immune parameters are of special significance before, during and following organ transplantation. Strategies include measurement of tumour antigen and other markers (often by radioimmunoassay), studies of cellular or humoral immunity in cancer aetiology, immunotherapy trials, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monitoring, intraoperative | The constant checking on the state or condition of a patient during the course of a surgical operation (e.g., checking of vital signs). (12 Dec 1998) |
| monitoring, physiologic | The continuous measurement of physiological processes, blood pressure, heart rate, renal output, reflexes, respiration, etc., in a patient or experimental animal; includes pharmacologic monitoring, the measurement of administered drugs or their metabolites in the blood, tissues, or urine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Holter monitoring | <cardiology, investigation> A test which measures the heart rhythm (ECG) over a 24 hour period of time while the patient records their symptoms and activities in a diary. A small portable ECG device is worn in a pouch around the neck. After the test is complete, a correlation is made between the symptoms (or activities) recorded and the ECG pattern that was obtained simultaneously. (27 Sep 1997) |
| drug monitoring | The process of observing, recording, or detecting the effects of a chemical substance administered to an individual therapeutically or diagnostically. (12 Dec 1998) |
| environmental monitoring | The monitoring of the level of toxicants, pollutants, or other harmful chemicals in the environment or workplace by measuring the amounts of these toxicants in the bodies of people and animals in that environment, among other methods. It also includes the measurement of environmental exposure. Humans and animals are used as indicators of toxic levels of undesirable chemicals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uterine monitoring | Measurement or recording of contraction activity of the uterine muscle. It is used to determine progress of labour and assess status of pregnancy. It is also used in conjunction with foetal monitoring to determine foetal response to stress of maternal uterine contractions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal monitoring | Physiologic or biochemical monitoring of the foetus. It is usually done during labour and may be performed in conjunction with the monitoring of uterine activity. It may also be performed prenatally as when the mother is undergoing surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdominal pressure | Pressure surrounding the bladder; estimated from rectal, gastric, or intraperitoneal pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute pressure | Pressure measured with respect to zero pressure. Compare: gauge pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic pressure | In ultrasound, the instantaneous value of the total pressure minus the ambient pressure; unit is pascal (Pa). (05 Mar 2000) |
