*Sleep Paralysis*

Have you heard people say "witches press me for night"? Or have you experience that weird feeling as if someone is choking you in your sleep with your eyes open and you try to shout but you can't? You try to move, no way. You kept shouting "Jesus!!!" and suddenly it feels like you are free and you jump out of the bed and start praying and thanking Jehovah because your enemies wanted to kill you?🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations, you just experience Sleep paralysis.

Our topic today is:

*"SLEEP PARALYSIS"*

What is Sleep paralysis?
It is a state, during waking up or falling asleep, in which a person is aware but unable to move or speak. During an episode, one may hallucinate (hear, feel, or see things that are not there), which often results in fear. Episodes generally last less than a couple of minutes. It may occur as a single episode or be recurrent.

Sleep paralysis is a temporary loss of muscle function while you’re sleeping.
It typically occurs:

as a person is falling asleep

shortly after they have fallen asleep

while they’re waking up

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, people with sleep paralysis usually experience this condition for the first time between the ages of 14 and 17 years old.
It’s a fairly common sleep condition. Researchers estimate that between 5 and 40 percent of people experience this condition.

Episodes of sleep paralysis may occur along with another sleep disorder known as narcolepsy.
_Narcolepsy_ is a chronic sleep disorder that causes overwhelming drowsiness and sudden “sleep attacks” throughout the day. However, many people who don’t have narcolepsy can still experience sleep paralysis.

*What are the symptoms of sleep paralysis?*

Sleep paralysis isn’t a medical emergency. Being familiar with the symptoms can provide peace of mind.

The most common characteristic of an episode of sleep paralysis is the inability to move or speak. An episode may last for a few seconds to about 2 minutes.

COMMITMENT TO NURSING PRACTICE A MUST FOR EVERY NURSE

The image of nursing is dependent on the attitudes of its image bearers. You are not a nurse until your practice shows or tells so.

Nursing still remains a noble profession. Over the years and around the world nursing has been ranked the profession with the highest or largest working force in the world.

This is not just dependent on the obtainable skills of the profession but also on the capacity of the nurses.

Nursing is a skilled, intellectual and sacrificial profession that requires all dedication, commitment and resilience in all aspect.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (E.C.G)

Introduction
It's a simple test that can be used to detect our heart rythm and electrical activity. As we know the conducting system of the heart produces some electrical impulses that help in rythmic contraction of the heart
Through the work of :

S.A node ( Pace maker✌🏼)

AV node

A.V bundles

Etc
Sensors ( electrodes) are attached to the skin to detect electrical signals produced by heart each time it beats.

Definition : ECG sometimes called EKG is a record of electrical signal from heart to check for different heart condition .

Indications for ECG

1.
Heart problems eg chest pain, palpitations,shortness of breath.
2.
Arrythmias
3.
Coronary heart diseases
4.
Heart attack
5.carduomyopathy
Etc

Procedure

- inform the pt and collect consent

- xpose the chest (area) and shave it

-attach the sensors(electrodes) to the chest,arm and legs

-connect the electrodes wires to ECG recording machine

-start to test

-test last for few minutes

-Information of the beating will be displayed on a graph for rythm, and electrical activity
In normal situation the wave will be regular

Types of ECG

1. Resting ECG : done when an individual is sitting or lying2. Stress or Exercise ECG : done after exercise . Sometime the conditions of the heart manifest only after strenuous activity

3. Ambulatory EKG (Holter monitor) : is a mobile kind of ECG

Side effects of EKG

It's painless, and safe . And no electricity put into the body

But there's slight discomfort after removing the electrodes similar to that of after removing plaster.
Thank you very much 🙌🏻🙌🏻
