Review of Systems (ROS)
Brief way to examine the body systems to identify underlying problems
Cardiovascular/pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integumentary, cognition/communication
Pulse
The blood in the artery created by contraction of the left ventricle during a cardiac cycle
Parameters of Pulse
Rate - # of pulsations per minute
Rhythm - pattern of pulsations, important for determining health
Quality - the force created by ejected blood against the arterial wall
Pulse oximetry
Measures arterial blood oxygenation, updated with each pulse wave
What PulseOx value would suggest supplemental oxygen might be needed?
Below 90% saturation
3 things that can influence pulse
Age- HR generally decreases and stabilizes with age
Sex- males tend to have slightly lower HR than females
Medications - some can affect HR (EX: beta blockers lower HR)
3 things that can influence pulse oximetry
Alterations in heart function - can reduce cardiac output and oxygenation
Nail polish - can interfere with measurement
Artificial acrylic nails - can interfere with measurement
Parameters of Respiration
Rate, depth, rhythm, sound
What do blood pressure numbers represent?
Top = systolic bottom = diastolic
Systolic blood pressure
measures the force of blood against artery walls while ventricles squeeze, pushing blood out to the rest of the body
top number
Diastolic blood pressure
measures the force of blood against artery walls as heart relaxes and the ventricles are allowed to refill with blood
bottom number
3 things that can influence blood pressure
Blood volume - less blood leads to less pressure, and vice versa
Age - varies, rises after birth, peaks in puberty, levels to adult BP
Exercise - increases cardiac output which increases BP
