INSPECTION
INSPECTION OF THE ANTERIOR THORACIC
REGION
- INSPECTION OF THE ANTERIOR VERVICAL REGION. - INSPECTION OF THE PRECORDIAL REGION - INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT THORACIC REGION AND OF THE INFERIOR STERNAL REGION.
INSPECTION
PERIODS
- STATIC
- DYNAMIC
INSPECTION OF THE ANTERIOR CERVICAL REGION
- CAROTID PULSATION (ARTERIAL DANCE)
- JUGULAR PULSATION
- JUGULAR TURGOR
- AORTIC PULSATION
INSPECTION OF THE PRECORDIAL REGION
- VISIBLE APICAL IMPULSE
- LEFT VENTRICULAR ANURYSM
- AORTIC ANEURYSM
INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT HEMITHORAX AND STERNAL REGION
- AORTIC ANEURYSM

PALPATION
- ANTERIOR CERVICAL REGION
- STERNAL NOTCH
- APICAL IMPULSE
- MEZOCARDIAC REGION
- AUSCULTATION AREAS
- IRRADIATION AREAS
- EPIGASTRIC REGION
PALPATION
APICAL IMPULSE
- LOCATION
- SURFACE
- AMPLITUDE
- UNICITY
- RITHMICITY
PALPATION
AREAS- FOCI
- CARDIAC SOUNDS EQUIVALENTS
- THRILLS –palpable vibrations from murmurs or
bruits- grade 4/6 or louder. - PERICARDIAL RUB.
PERCUSSION
2 MOMENTS
- SUPERFICIAL
- DEEP.
LOCATION OF THE CARDIAC DULLNESS -> RELATIVE
ABSOLUTE
PERCUSSION
RV -> RIGHT EDGE OF THE STERNUM III – VI IC.
-> DOWNWARDS INCREASED DULLNESS
LV -> POSTERIOR PERCUSSION
AO -> RIGHT EDGE. SP II – III IC.
PA -> SP III IC. LEFT.
CARDIAC AUSCULTATION
DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN
HEMODYNAMIC PHENOMENA – ACOUSTIC
PHENOMENA = ACURACY OF THE CONCLUSION
PRACTICABLE IN ANY CONDITIONS
C. A. => DIRECT (IMEDIATE)
INDIRECT (MEDIATE)
BIAURICULAR STHETOSCOPE
- AURICULAR PIECE: COMFORTABLE
- TUBES: 25 – 30cm, lumen ≥ 3mm
- CHEST PIECE: FLAT RESPONSE CURVE FOR: 50 – 1200 Hz
TECHNIQUE - QUIET ROOM WE LISTEN FOR 1. LOW FREQUENCIES 2. HIGH FREQUENCIES - COMFORTABLE POSITION - PACIENT IN DORSAL DECUBITUS - SPECIFIC MANOEUVRES - ORTHOSTATISM
