1How do we measure heart rate?
HR in bpm
pulse for 15s x4
if irregular count for 60s
2How do we measure the cardiovascular and pulmonary system?
Heart Rate
Heart Rhythm
Heart Rate Recovery
Respiratory Rate
Respiratory Rhythm
Blood Pressure
Oxygen Saturation
3usual range for HRHow hear How tou
60-100 bpm
4tachycarydia
over 100 bpm
5brachycardia
under 60 bpm
6How is heart rhythym measured?
regular or irregular
unusual - atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions
7how is heart rate recovery measured?
HR difference after 1 min of exercise cessation
HR difference after 2 min of exercise cessation
8How do we measure Respiratory Rate?
RR in breaths per minute
Breaths for 15s x 4
If irregular count for 60 s
10Tachypnea
fast respiratory rate
12apnea
no respiratory rate
13how to measure respiratory rhythm?
regular or irregular
unusual - biots breathing, cheyne stokes breathing
14systole
pressure from the bolus of blood ejected from LV into arterial system
15Diastole
resting tone of the vessel after the bolus passes
16Pulse Pressure
difference between systole and diastole
17how to measure blood pressure?
support the left amr, pump cuff to 160 and slowly deflate listening for first (systole) and fourth Katokoff sounds (diastole)
19unusual BP
>120/80 or less than 90/60
20Oxygen saturation measures
% saturation of oxygen in the arterial blood
how many of the possible carrying sites for oxygen are filled with oxygen
normal - 98%
21How to measure RPE
ask the patient to pick the appropriate words to describe the amount of work they feel they are doing
ask them to identify the number associated with those words
2 scales (6-20 and 1-10)
