Q

what to look for during palpation

A

PMI (point of maximal impulse) is used to estimate the location of the apex/L border of the heart.

Palpated near the 4th/5thintercostal space in the mid-clavicular line; pt may have to lift breast. It may not be felt in a healthy pt and should be small, brisk and less than 2.5 cm.

Q

percuss of the CV system

A

done to estimate the cardiac size when PMI cannot be found.

Start at the far left where more resenonant –> medially to find cardiac dullness.

Q

Auscultate

A

Identify the 2 heart sounds

Ask yourself two questions

  • Is the rhythm normal or abnormal?
  • Are there any abnormal sounds?

Q

Murmur

A

sound made when flow of blood through a valve is turbulent or disrupted.

Valve is non-compliant, incompetent, stiff or damaged

. Doesn’t always mean a problem. Should be evaluated with ECG.

Q

how to conduct PMI?

A

PMI should be felt for thrill.

  1. pt lays supine at 45 degrees of lateral decubitis position
    - if upright, will be felt at the 5th ICS, medial to MCL
25
Q

Jugular vein tells us the activity of the _____ side of te heart

A

RIGHt

26
Q

Measuring our JVP can give us an indication of

A

· CVP (central venous pressure) and RAP (right atrial pressure)

27
Q

· Internal jugular (IJ) is a better estimate than _____________

A

external jugular (EJ)

28
Q

how to measure JVP

32
Q

a wave

A

o atrium is contracting and the triscupid valve is opening. Occurs during diastole.

33
Q

x descent

A

àatrium is relaxing and filling: triscuspid valve is closed.

Occurs during ventricular systole

34
Q
