Q

What to keep in mind if measuring the carotid pulse

A

-stand on same side as artery, never reach across patient
-do not press too hard
-never palpate bilateral carotid arteries, can potentially cut off blood supply

Q

Safety with heart rate and exercise

A

-HR increases with progressive workloads at a rate of 10 bpm per 1 MET
-HR should decrease by at least 12 beats during first minute of recovery
-HR should decrease by 22 beats by end of second minute of recovery

23
Q

Systolic pressure

A

-the pressure at the time of contraction of the left ventricle

24
Q

Diastolic pressure

A

-the pressure at the time of ventricular filling

25
What are Korotkoff sounds
-assessment of blood pressure by auscultation using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope
26
What is the systolic pressure indicated by
-first faint clear tapping sounds heard upon gradually releasing the air in the cuff
27
What is the diastolic pressure indicated by
-disappearance of all sounds -last sound heard
28
Safety with blood pressure
-SBP increases with increasing workloads at a rate of 10 mmHg per 1 MET -normally no change in DBP or slight during exercise -post exercise SBP returns to pre exercise levels or lower by 6 min of recovery
29
What are serious warnings in blood pressure during exercise
-systolic greater than 250 mmHg -diastolic greater than 115 mmHg -drop in systolic pressure of more than 10 mmHg from baseline -failure of systolic pressure to increase with increasing workload
30
How many phases of blood pressure sounds are there
-5
31
Phase 1 BP
-faint clear tapping sound heard -systolic -initial flow of blood thought artery as constriction of artery is released
32
Phase 2 BP
-softer sound
33
Phase 3 BP
-louder and more crisp sound
34
Phase 4 BP
-sound changes from crisp to muffled
35
Phase 5 BP
-cessation of sound -diastolic
36
What is oxygen saturation
-estimates how much oxygen is travelling through your red blood cells
37
What should oxygen saturation be
-95-100%
38
What SpO2 is considered exercise-induced hypoxemia
-decrease in SpO2 greater than or equal to 5% during exercise
39
What might contraction of accessory muscles during inspiration look like
-visible raising of the shoulders and sternum as a part of breathing pattern
40
What are the inspiratory muscles of breathing
-scalenes -pectoralis major -sternocleidomastoid -upper trap -levator scap -pectoralis minor -rhomboids
41
What are the expiratory muscles of breathing
-quadratus lumborum -internal oblique -rectus abdominus -external oblique -transverse abdominis
42
What are the 2 perceived exertion scales we have used in this class
-borg -CR10 scale
43
Borg scale
-6-20
44
CR10 scale
-0-10
45
Normal temperature for healthy adults
-35.5-37.5 degrees celsius
46
Normal temperature for healthy older adults
-35-37.2 degrees celsius
47
What type of relationship do heart rate and blood pressure have
-inverse
48
Hyperventilation
-rapid and deep breaths
49
Hypoventilation
-shallow slow breaths
50
Cheyne-Stokes respirations
-going from very deep to very shallow periods
51
Kussmauls breathing
-abnormally deep, regular, and increased in rate
52
Blots breathing
-abnormally shallow for 2-3 breaths -followed by irregular period of apnea
53
Factors that may affect heart rate
-age -sex -fever -pain -stress -digestion -medications -hypovolemia (blood loss) -hypoxia and hypoxemia -electrolyte balance
54
Factors affecting respiratory rate and depth
-age -exercise -illness processes -medications -pain -emotions
55
Factors that affect oxygen saturation
-lung disease -decreased circulation -hypotension
