Pulse Rate & Blood Pressure

Pulse Rate & Blood Pressure. Pulse palpation. Pulse pressure. The pressure felt as the blood in the artery surges through the point that has pressure applied. Pulse Points: Common Carotid Artery. Pulse Points: Brachial Artery. Pulse Points: Radial Artery. Pulse Points: Femoral Artery.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Pulse Rate & Blood Pressure

  2. Pulse palpation

  3. Pulse pressure • The pressure felt as the blood in the artery surges through the point that has pressure applied.

  4. Pulse Points: Common Carotid Artery

  5. Pulse Points: Brachial Artery

  6. Pulse Points: Radial Artery

  7. Pulse Points: Femoral Artery

  8. Pulse Points: Popliteal Artery

  9. Pulse Points: Posterior Tibial Artery

  10. Pulse Points: Dorsalis Pedis Artery

  11. Blood pressure

  12. Sphygmomanometer

  13. Systolic pressure • High Pressure due to ventricular contraction • Ex. 120 mmHg

  14. Diastolic pressure • Low pressure due to ventricular relaxation • Ex. 80 mmHg

  15. Sounds of Korotkoff • The sounds heard through the stethoscope while taking blood pressure. • These are due to systolic pressure pushing blood past the cuff.

  16. Stethoscope

  17. Auscultation • The process of using the stethoscope to listen to each heart valve individually.

  18. Murmur • A swooshing sound produced by the incomplete closing of a heart valve.

  19. Cardiac cycle • The rhythmic contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of the chambers of the heart that corresponds to one heartbeat

  20. Formula to calculate blood pressure • BP = CO x PR • Blood pressure = cardiac output x peripheral resistance • Peripheral resistance is also known as vascular resistance

  21. Normal Blood Pressure • 120/80

  22. Effects of exercise on BP • Exercise increases blood pressure. • Large groups of muscles need more oxygen, which causes the heart rate to increase raising blood pressure
