Pulse Pressure
Difference between systolic and diastolic
Korotkoff sounds
Pulsating sounds heard during auscultation of blood pressure.
Auscultatory Gap
After the initial korotkoff sounds, sometimes the sound seems to disappear temporarily then reappear .
Cardiac output formula
CO = HR x Stroke Volume
Cardiac output
The amount of blood discharged from the left or right ventricle per minute.
Stroke Volume
The amount if blood pushed into the aorta with each beat.
Orthostatic hypotension
Drop in B/P when changing from a lying Down position to sitting or standing.
SPO2
93 - 100%
Apical - Radial Pulse
Determined by two people counting the apical and radial pulse rates at the same time.
Temporal pulse
Pulse in the temple
Carotid pulse
In neck
Apical pulse
Mid-clavicular 5th intercostal space
Brachial
For B/P, by elbow
Radial
Wrist, thumb side
Femoral
By groin, femoral artery
Popliteal

Formula for blood pressure
BP = CO x SVR
Cardiac output - amount of blood pumped in 1 min
SVR - systemic vascular resistance
diameter of blood vessel
Diastolic
Relaxing
