Need to know about BIA in a hurry? You’ve come to the
right place! No time to waste… let’s get started!
Or, if you want to go directly to the
Post-Test, click here.
First, some basic concepts: BIA is an electrical reading
(don’t worry, it is a lot less shocking than static electricity… actually imperceptible)
and if you use the right equations, you can use the results to tell if someone
has enough of the tissues they need to stay alive and function well. Let’s
start with how to do a BIA. For those of you with us for this section, you will
need to make sure that you are taking a good reading. I mean, what is the point
of doing this if your readings are bogus!
[If you want to know more, you can find very specific
information by checking out the longer BIA course, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis,
elsewhere on this site.]
