Pulse Flashcards
Decrease pulse pressure with a slow upstroke and prolonged peak
Small weak pulse
Bounding pulse in which a great surge precedes a sudden absence of force or fullness
Large bounding site
Increased pulse pressure with a rapid upstroke and downstroke and a shortened peak
Corrigan’s (Water hamer) puls
Regular pulse rhythm with alternation of weak and strong beats
Pulsus alterans
Irregular pulse rhythm in which premature beats alternate with sinus beats
Pulse bigeminus
A strong upstroke downstroke and second upstroke during systole
pulsus bisferiens
pulse with a markely decreased amplitude during inspiration
pulsus paradoxus
Left vetricular failure
pulsus alterans
