CP Assessment Flashcards
Mointoring measurement of vital signs and clinical assessement are?
Essential skills
What is the Signs of the heart care?
1- Heart rate
2- Respiratory rate
3- Blood pressure
4- Temperature
5- Oxygen saturation
Assessment for heart care?
1-Observation
2-Palpation
3-Ausculation
4-percussion
H ow often should we check the vital signs?
at the time of the initial examination
Temperature
What is the factors effecting body temperature?
Infection
Disease
Exposure
Normal Range of Temperature?
36.5/37.5 C
Temperature sites? شلون اخذ الحرارة
1-Oral (best for adult/ 15min post smoking/ hot or cold
drink,food)
2- Axillary (Noninvasive/ good for children)
3-Rectal ( used when it unsafe/ inaccurate by the mouth)
4- Ear ( easy/ rapid)
Most common Temperature site?
Oral site
Sometimes false reding?
Ear sites
The 2 important factors influencing HR?
Stroke volume and compliance of arterial wall
H R: The rate at which the heart beats, or contracts. Any contraction (even if it doesn’t result in appreciable blood flow through the arteries) is part of heart rate.
Yes
HR is expressed in ………..and regulated by ……….
beat per min , AUtonomic nervous system
Best Measures for HR by?
Ausculating the cardiac apex
Cardiac apex? وين موجود
5th intercostal space
What we are looking when we check HR?
Rate
Rhythm
Strength
What is the Max. HR during exercise?
220 bpm
HR is measured for one minute (irregular rhythm)
15 second * 4
• 30 seconds * 2
Normal adult HR
60-100 bpm
Tachycardia
Bradycardia measurment?
Tachycardia > 100 bpm
Anexiety, fever, anemia, hepoxia, cardiac disoders
* Medication ( Bronchodilators)
Bradycardia < 60 bpm
Athlets
*Medication (beta blockers)
Perepheral puse?
is a pulse located in the periphery of the body (7 sites: radial,brachial, popliteal, posterior tibial, and dorsalis pedis arteries)
Apical pulse
(central pulse): it is located at the apex of the heart
Pulse volume?
It is the force of blood with each beat
Respiratory Rate
Num of breath per min
Normal ( eupnea) for adult
12-20 breath per min
Eupnea
Apnea
Eupnea ( normal breath)
Apnea( absence of breathing)
Effort/ Depth
Volume of air during inhalation andexhalation
effort/ depth
Normal
Shallow
SOB
Normal ( deep and symmetrical)
Shallow ( decreased volume)
SOB ( rapid breathing)
