Save. Your pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute. And while pulse rates vary from person to person, they are influenced by factors such as age and fitness level. There is also a slight difference in rates by gender, as men tend to have a slightly lower resting and maximum heart rate than women.he normal rate for an adult male is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. For an endurance athlete, the resting heart rate will typically be lower, indicating a more efficient heart function.
If the vermilion border is involved, approximate it with the first suture placed on facial skin. Use 6-0 suture material.* The approximation of the vermilion-cutaneous junction is the most crucial step in the closure of lip lacerations that involve the vermilion border. Misalignment of even 1 mm may cause a noticeable step-off when the wound is healed. See the images below.
Uncomplicated contusions are treated with ice packs to inhibit swelling during the first 24 to 48 h, followed by hot compresses to aid absorption of the hematoma. Minor lid lacerations not involving the lid margin or tarsal plate may be repaired with nylon (or, in children, plain gut) 6-0 or 7-0 sutures. Lacerations of the lid margin are best repaired by an ophthalmic surgeon to ensure accurate apposition and to avoid a notch in the contour.
