Heat
Which increases and causes fever/elevates BMR
Agents that cause fever
.pyrogens
Rate at which heat priduced when body at rest
BMR
Hemoraging/dehydration need to know
Hypotensive 80/40
120 heart rate
What does shivering do
increases heat production up to 5 times denerol
Increased temp dilation or constriction
Peripheral vasoldialtion
What thermometer is most accurate
Temporal
Axillary temps
Armpit must be dry 1 degree lower
Temporal therm
Fast accurate if sweating take behind ear after lifting off
Why take apical pulse
Irregular radial, digitalis, beta blocker, chikdren you ger 2, arrythmia, heart failure. Listen 1 full minute. Recovering from mi.place diaphragm firmly
When should u not do a rectal temp
Pts recovering from rectal surgery or who are cardiac patients.
Hyperthermia
100.2, but fever not significant unless 101.3
What is pulse deficit
Difference between ststolic and diastolic
max pressure exerted on artery during left ventricular contraction
Systolic bp
Diastolic bp
Lower pressure exerted on arterywhen heart at rest between contractions
If someone has a dysrhymia, or irregukar heart beat or arrythmia their pulse strength is probably
Thready and weak
What is eupnea
Normal breathing
What is dyspnea
Sob, copd pt difficulty breathing increased breathing
