Q

Carotid pulse is palpated where?

What do you want to watch out for?

A

Anterior neck btw SCM and trachea
HOB should be elevated

Assess one time at a time to reduce the risk of bradycardia through stimulation of baroreceptor (found in the aortic arch and carotid sinus) - this will produce a reflex drop in pulse rate or BP

19
Q

Brachial pulse is palpated where?

It is the best for what population?

A

Over brachial artery - medial aspect of antecubital fossa

Infants

20
Q

Femoral artery palpated where?

A

Femoral artery in inguinal region

21
Q

Popliteal Artery palpated where?

A

Popliteal artery behind the knee with knee SLIGHTLY FLEXED

22
Q

What is the grading scale for peripheral pulses?

A
0 = absent pulse, not palpable
1+ = diminished, barely perceptible
2+ = normal, easily palpable
3+ = full pulse, increased strength
4+ = bounding
23
Q

Pedal pulse: palpated where?

A

Over dorsalis pedis, dorsal medial aspect of foot

24
Q

Normal HR for adults and teens?

A

60-100 bpm

40-60 in aerobically trained

25
Q

Normal HR in children?

A

60-140 bpm

26
Q

Normal HR in newborn? What is the average?

A

90-164

Average 127

27
Q

When is compensatory tachycardia seen?

A

Volume loss (surgery, dehydration)

28
Q

What is postural tachycardia syndrome?

A

Sustained HR greater than or equal to 30bpm within the first 10 min of standing
> or = 40 bpm in teens

29
Q

Why might one have a weak thready pulse?

A

Low SV

Cardiogenic shock

30
Q

Why might one have a bounding full pulse?

A

Shortened ventricular systole
Decreased peripheral pressure
Aortic insufficiency

31
Q

Where can you locate the aortic valve for auscultation?

A

2nd right intercostal space at the sternal border

32
Q

Where can you locate the pulmonic valve for auscultation?

A

2nd left intercostal space at the sternal border

33
Q

Where can you locate the tricuspid valve for auscultation?

A

4th left intercostal space at the sternal border

34
Q

Where can you locate the mitral valve for auscultation?

A

5th left intercostal space at midclavicular area

35

This marks the beginning of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

It would be decreased in _____________

A
