Bates - 343:
Blood pressure levels uctuate strikingly throughout any 24-hour period, varying with physical activity, emotional state, pain, noise, environmen- tal temperature, use of coffee, tobacco, and other drugs, and even time of day.
- All are true regarding bp measurement except:
◗ Width of the inflatable bladder of the cuff should be about 40% of upper arm circumference (about 12–14 cm in the average adult).
◗ Length of the in atable bladder should be about 80% of upper arm circum- ference (almost long enough to encircle the arm).
Now place the bell of a stethoscope lightly over the brachial artery, taking care to make an air seal with its full rim. Because the sounds to be heard, the Korotkoff sounds, are relatively low in pitch, they are generally better heard with the bell.
X. Changes in these for factors will result to?
◗ Left ventricular stroke volume
◗ Distensibility of the aorta and the large arteries
◗ Peripheral vascular resistance, particularly at the arteriolar level
◗ Volume of blood in the arterial system
[Changes in any of these four factors alter systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, or both.]

- In a patient with a normal CVP whom you suspect to have elevated right ventricular pressure, what maneuver will you do to detect this abnormality?
- Abdominojugular Reflux Test
- Bisferens pulse
A. Severe Heart Failure
B. Premature Ventricular Contraction
C. Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
D. Cardiac Tamponade
- Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Bisferious means striking twice. Classically, it is detected when aortic insufficiency exists in association with aortic stenosis,[1] but may also be found in isolated but severe aortic insufficiency, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. - wiki
- Pulsus tardus
A. Mitral stenosis
B. Tricuspid stenosis
C. Aortic stenosis
D. Pulmonic stenosis
C. Aortic stenosis

- Assessment of the carotid pulse except:
Can be block by palpation
Bates - 367:
To assess amplitude and contour, the patient should be lying down with the head of the bed elevated to about 30 degrees. When feeling for the carotid artery, first inspect the neck for carotid pulsations. These may be visible just medial to the sternomastoid muscles. Then place your index and middle fingers (or left thumb) on the right carotid artery in the lower third of the neck, press posteriorly, and feel for pulsations.

PVCs that occur at a bigeminal frequency may not gener- ate sufficient cardiac output for a radial pulse and hence may register at rates half that of the heart rate (Fig. 277-1A). Very frequent PVCs can depress ventricular function (see below).

945 - Measure blood pressure using recommended techniques (see pp. 119–124), checking for increased systolic blood pressure (SBP) and widened pulse pressure (PP), de ned as SBP minus diastolic blood pressure (DBP). With aging, SBP and peripheral vascular resistance increase, whereas DBP decreases

Harrisonsons 1446-
Pulsus alternans, in contrast, is defined by beat-to-beat variability of pulse amplitude. It is present only when every other phase I Korotkoff sound is audible as the cuff pressure is lowered slowly, typically in a patient with a regular heart rhythm and independent of the respiratory cycle. Pulsus alternans is seen in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and is thought to be due to cyclic changes in intra- cellular calcium and action potential duration. When pulsus alternans is associated with electrocardiographic T-wave alternans, the risk for an arrhythmic event appears to be increased.
