cardio respiratory Flashcards
Cardiorespiratory physical examination acronym
IPPA
inspection-visual inspection of patient
palaption
percussion
ausculation
IPPA physical examination, compentnets of Inspection
1 vital signs (HR, RR, BP, SPO2), line and tubes/monitors
2 mechanisms of ventilation (pattern-chest diaphragm other muscles, ratio of isp:esp, depth shallow or normal)
3 thoracic shape (funnel, pigeon, kyphoscolosis,barrel)
4 head neck extremieties (colour, cyanosis, nasal flare, accessory muscle use, Jugular distension, cap refil, clubbingm colour, edema, muscle wasting)
5 speech cough and sputum(effective, productive, wet dry, colour, consitency volume)
how to check HR?
index and middle finger on radial forearm
rate in bpm, rhythm regular or irregular, and strength
Bradycardia
slow resting HR, less than 60 bpm
normal resting HR
60-100bpm
tachycardia
high resting HR, greater then 100 bpm
normal HR children 1 -8 years
80-100 bpm
normal HR infants 1- 12 months
100-120 bpm
normal HR neonates 1 day to 28days
120-160 bpm
3 words to describe HR rhythm
regular- regular consistent pattern
irrigular- irregular but consistent pattern eg bigeminy, trigeminy
irregularly irregular- iregular inconsistent pattern eg a fib
Bradypnea
slow resting RR, less then 12 breaths per minute
Eupnea
normal RR, 12-20 bpm
tachypnea
higher then normal resting RR, greater then 20 breaths per minute
normal RR children 1-8
15-30 bpm
normal RR infants 1- 12 months
25-50 bpm
normal RR neonates 1 -28 days
40-60 bpm
Procedure for obtaining BP
seated upright with arm at level of heart feet flat on the floor, patient should be relaexd ( not relaxed will increase BP)
palpate brachial artery pulse and place cuff 1 inch above. cuff should encircle at least 80% of arm (cuff to small overestimates, cuff to large underestimates)
place stethascpoe on pulse.
pump till pulse is occulded, slowly release
1st kortokoft sound is heard is systolic pressure, second sound is diastolic pressure
hypotention
low BP, systolic less then 90 or diastolic less than 60
s:
normal BP
120/80
90-129/60-79
values hypertention stage 1
130-139/80-89
values hypertention stage 2
> 140/90
critical > 180/110
orthostatic hypotention values
drop of >20 mmHg of systolic pressure going from lying to standing
dizzy lightneheaded due to O2 drop in brain due to gravity
SPo2, how to measure, values
peripheral capillary O2 saturation-percent of how much O2 Hgb is carrying (4 each molecule), measured using pulse oximeter on finger or ear
normal is 95-100
below 90% may warrent further investigation and supplementation
apical breathing
through shoulders, accesory muscle use, indicates severe dyspnea
