Cardiovascular (CV) and Pulmonary Flashcards
cardiovascular
CV
heart
normal cardiovascular
regular rate (speed) regular rhythm (pattern) [RRR] heart sounds normal (no murmurs, rubs or gallops)
abnormal cardiovascular
tachycardia/bradycardia
irregularly irregular rhythm
murmur, gallop, rubs
extrasystoles
tachycardia
> 100bpm
abnormal CV
bradycardia
<60bpm
abnormal CV
regular rate and rhythm
RRR
normal CV
irregularly irregular rhythm
associated with atrial fibrillation (afib)
murmur
whoosh sound
abnormal CV
gallop
extra sound/beat
abnormal CV
rub
squeaky sound
abnormal CV
extrasystoles
extra beats
abnormal CV
perfusion
pulse
radial pulse
wrist
carotid pulse
neck
femoral pulse
groin/stomach
dorsalis pedis pulse
DP pulse
top of the foot
posterior tibialis pulse
PT pulse
back of the foot, near the ankle
pulse grading scale
0=absent 1+= barely palpable 2+= easily palpable 3+= full 4+= bounding/aneurysmal
normal perfusion
pulses equal and symmetric
capillary refill less than 2s
abnormal perfusion
unequal pulses
delayed capillary refill
pulmonary
lungs/respiratory
normal pulmonary
no respiratory distress
normal respiratory rate
normal effort
breath sounds clear and equal
abnormal pulmonary
respiratory distress + intensity tachypnea accessory muscle use diminished (quiet) breath sounds wheezes (inspiratory/expiratory) rales rhonchi
respiratory distress
obvious issues breathing
abnormal pulmonary
normal effort
no appearance of struggling to breath
normal pulmonary
clear to auscultation bilaterally
CTAB
breath sounds clear and equal
tachypnea
fast breathing
-pnea
breathing
rhonchi
wet
accessory muscle use
retractions
only for infants
signs of respiratory distress in infants
retraction/accessory muscle use
nasal flaring
tachypnea
