Why RMP Courses are Important?

মহান আল্লাহ রাব্বুল আলআমিন মানুষকে যে জীবন দান করেছেন তার ধারক হিসেবে দিয়েছেন দেহকে । এই দেহকে ভালোভাবে জানতে পারা, এর পরিচর্যা করা, রক্ষনাবেক্ষন করতে পারা প্রত্যেকটি মানুষের জন্য ফরজ বলে আমি মনে করি । একজন ড্রাইভার যদি ড্রাইভিং এর পাশাপাশি তার গাড়ির প্রাথমিক পরিচর্যা, রক্ষনাবেক্ষন না করতে পারে তবে তাকে মাঝে মাঝে বড় ধরনের সমস্যায় পড়তেই হবে । আর যদি গাড়ির পরিচর্যা, প্রাথমিক মেকানিক, রক্ষনাবেক্ষন ইত্যাদি বিষয়ে জ্ঞান অর্জন করে, দক্ষতা এবং অভিজ্ঞতা অর্জন করে, তবে পথের মাঝে গাড়ি নষ্ট হলেও সে প্রাথমিক ভাবে সারিয়ে নিতে পারবে এবং পরবর্তিতে গাড়ি ড্রাইভ করে ভালো মানের ইন্জিনিয়ারিং সোপে নিয়ে গাড়ি ঠিক করে নিতে পারবে ।

একজন মানুষের ক্ষেত্রেও ঠিক তেমনি । দেহ সম্পকে জ্ঞান, দেহের প্রাথমিক পরিচর্যা, দেহের রক্ষনাবেক্ষন, দেহের প্রাথমিক চিকিৎসা ইত্যাদি বিষয়ে জ্ঞান, দক্ষতা এবং অভিজ্ঞতা অর্জন করলে সারাটা জীবন দেহটাকে সুন্দরভাবে পরিচালনা করা যায়, বেশি অসুস্থ্য হলে সঠিক সময়ে সঠিক ডাক্তারের কাছে গিয়ে সঠিক চিকিৎসা নেয়া যায় ।

Almighty Allah Rabbul Alamin has given the body as the container of the life He has given to man. I think it is a duty for every human being to know this body well, take care of it, and protect it.If a driver is not able to take basic care and maintenance of his car along with driving, then he has to face big problems at times.And if he acquires knowledge, skills and experience in car maintenance, basic mechanics, maintenance, etc., even if the car breaks down on the way, he can fix it initially and later drive the car and fix the car with good quality engineering soap.

The same is the case with a human being. If you acquire knowledge, skills and experience about the body, basic care of the body, maintenance of the body, basic treatment of the body, you can manage the body beautifully throughout your life, if you are very sick, you can go to the right doctor at the right time and get the right treatment.

Common cardiovascular problems are a major public health concern globally. Key topics often revolve around the most prevalent conditions, their underlying causes, and management strategies. 

Main topics for common cardiovascular problems include:

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)/Coronary Heart Disease (CHD): This is one of the most common and significant cardiovascular diseases, primarily caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup) in the heart’s arteries. This can lead to angina (chest pain), heart attacks (myocardial infarction), and heart failure.
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): A very common condition and a major risk factor for the development of many other cardiovascular diseases, including CAD, heart failure, and stroke.
• Heart Failure: A complex condition where the heart cannot pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. It often occurs as a final stage of most other cardiovascular diseases.
• Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke): This involves the blood vessels supplying the brain. Impaired blood flow can lead to a stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
• Arrhythmias: Problems with the heart’s rhythm or conduction system. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): This involves arterial disease predominantly affecting the limbs, which can result in pain and cramping (claudication).
• Valvular Heart Disease: Conditions affecting the heart valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid), which regulate blood flow within the heart.
• Aortic Aneurysms: Weakening and bulging of the aorta, often due to atherosclerosis, which can occur in the thoracic or abdominal areas.
• Congenital Heart Disease: Heart defects present at birth, representing the most prevalent congenital condition globally. 

These topics also encompass important related subjects such as preventive cardiology (lifestyle modifications and risk factor control like diet, exercise, and smoking cessation) and imaging techniques used for diagnosis.

Heart Beat & Heart Rate Class for RMP Course/Rural Medical Practitioner

A practical class for measuring heartbeat and heart rate typically involves learning to take a pulse, conducting experiments to measure heart rate during different activities, and analyzing the results. 

Part 1: Learning to Measure Your Pulse

The pulse is the physical manifestation of the heart pumping blood through your arteries and is a direct measure of your heart rate (beats per minute, or bpm). 

Location of Pulse:

• Wrist (radial artery): Place the tips of your first two fingers on the palm side of the partner’s wrist, below the thumb. Press firmly until you feel the pulse.
• Neck (carotid artery): Find the soft area on either side of the windpipe. Note: Use caution and light pressure when using the carotid artery site, as excessive pressure can slow the heart rate. 

Measurement Technique:

1. Using a timer or stopwatch, count the number of beats you feel in a specific amount of time.
2. Count for 30 seconds and multiply by 2 to get the beats per minute (bpm).
3. Alternatively, count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. For a quicker measure, count for 6 seconds and multiply by 10. 

Part 2: Experimenting with Activity Levels

The primary activity involves measuring how physical exertion affects heart rate. Students will measure their heart rate at rest, during exercise, and during recovery. 

Materials Needed:

• Timer/Stopwatch
• Pen and paper for recording data
• Worksheet/Table

Procedure:

1. Resting Heart Rate: Sit quietly for 3-5 minutes. Measure and record your pulse rate. A normal resting heart rate for adults is 60 to 100 bpm.
2. Physical Activity: Perform a specific exercise for a set period (e.g., 100 jumping jacks, running in place for 2 minutes).
3. Immediately After Activity: Immediately after stopping the exercise, measure and record your heart rate. It should be significantly higher than your resting rate.
4. Recovery Heart Rate: Measure your heart rate again after a few minutes (e.g., 2 minutes and 4 minutes post-exercise) to observe how quickly it returns to normal. 

Part 3: Analysis and Discussion

After collecting data, students can analyze and discuss their findings. 

• Graphing Results: Plot the heart rate data at different stages (rest, immediately after exercise, during recovery) to visually represent the effect of physical activity.
• Discussion Points:
  • Why does heart rate increase during exercise? (The heart pumps faster to move oxygenated blood more quickly to muscles).
  • How quickly does the heart rate return to resting levels? This is a measure of physical fitness.
  • How did predictions compare to actual results?. 

For additional resources and ideas, the Irish Heart Foundation and BioEd Online offer detailed lesson plans. 

Blood Pressure Class for RMP Course/Rural Medical Practitioner

A practical class for blood pressure involves learning to use a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope to measure blood pressure (BP), understanding patient positioning, finding the brachial artery, estimating systolic/diastolic pressures by listening for Korotkoff sounds (first sound for systolic, cessation for diastolic), and interpreting readings using standard guidelines (e.g., <120/80 mmHg is normal). Key steps include preparing the patient, applying the cuff correctly, inflating and deflating the cuff at a steady rate (2-3 mmHg/sec), documenting results, and practicing with digital devices too. 

Key Components of a Practical Session

• Equipment: Learn to use manual (aneroid/mercury) and digital sphygmomanometers with a stethoscope.
• Patient Prep: Ensure the patient is rested (5 mins), back supported, feet flat, arm at heart level, and bladder empty; avoid caffeine/tobacco for 30 mins prior.
• Cuff Placement: Apply cuff to bare skin, 2 inches above elbow bend, align arrow with brachial artery.
• Procedure (Auscultation):
  1. Estimate Systolic: Palpate brachial artery, inflate cuff until pulse disappears (this is estimated systolic).
  2. Auscultate: Place stethoscope over artery, inflate cuff 30 mmHg above estimated systolic.
  3. Deflate Slowly: Open valve to drop pressure 2-3 mmHg/sec.
  4. Listen for Sounds: First sound = Systolic; Sound stops = Diastolic (or last sound, depending on guidelines).
• Documentation: Record the reading (e.g., 110/70 mmHg) and the arm used, noting if rounded to nearest even number.
• Practice & Interpretation: Repeat readings, check against guidelines (e.g., <120/80 mmHg is normal), and learn when to seek medical advice (e.g., persistent high readings or hypertensive crisis symptoms). 

Resources for Practice

• YouTube Videos: Search for “How to take blood pressure manual” or “Korotkoff sounds practice” (e.g., by LevelUp RN, for clinical skills).
• Online Courses: PAHO offers courses on Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for patients and providers. 

Hypertension & Hypotension Class for RMP Course/Rural Medical Practitioner

A practical class on hypertension and hypotension would focus on understanding blood pressure (BP) values, diagnosis methods, lifestyle management, and the different classes of medications used for treatment. 

Core Concepts

• Normal Blood Pressure: Generally considered between 90/60 mm Hg and 120/80 mm Hg.
• Hypertension (High BP): Consistently elevated blood pressure, typically defined as a reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher in a clinical setting (definitions may vary slightly by guideline).
• Hypotension (Low BP): Blood pressure below 90/60 mm Hg, which is often asymptomatic but can cause symptoms like dizziness or fainting.
• Orthostatic Hypotension: A specific type of low blood pressure that happens when moving from sitting or lying down to a standing position. 

Practical Class Activities

A practical class could incorporate the following components:

• Blood Pressure Measurement: Hands-on training using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, or automated devices, to accurately measure BP in supine, sitting, and standing positions (especially relevant for diagnosing orthostatic hypotension).
• Case Studies: Analyzing hypothetical patient scenarios involving different stages of hypertension (Stage 1, 2, 3) or symptomatic hypotension to practice diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Lifestyle Interventions: Discussion and role-playing on counseling patients about non-pharmacological management strategies:
  • Healthy diet (e.g., DASH diet).
  • Regular physical activity.
  • Weight management and limiting alcohol.
  • Counter-maneuvers for orthostatic hypotension, such as standing up slowly and muscle tensing.
• Pharmacology Review: Understanding the mechanisms of action, side effects, and appropriate use of different classes of antihypertensive and pro-hypertensive medications:
  • Antihypertensive classes: Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs), Calcium Channel Blockers, and Beta-blockers.
  • Hypotension drugs: Midodrine, droxidopa, and rapid fluid infusion for acute cases.
• Patient Education Simulation: Practicing how to educate patients on home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) protocols and the importance of adherence to treatment plans. 

Resources for Further Learning

Educational materials and guidelines are available from authoritative sources:

• The American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology provide comprehensive guidelines on managing hypertension.
• The National Institutes of Health provides detailed information on both hypertension and hypotension.
