When blood pressure is monitored among paramedics at work,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that blood pressure among paramedics only rises during high stress calls but not during low stress calls. This is likely due to the surge in adrenaline and cortisol that occurs during high stress situations. Additionally, experienced paramedics may have learned to manage their stress response better over time, leading to less of a physiological response. There is no evidence to suggest that blood pressure only rises when the nature of the call is unknown or that there was only a rise in blood pressure among paramedics in their first year of work.
