|
|
4 pulse characteristics
|
Strong -easily palpated
Weak -difficult to palpate Bounding -visible through the skin Thready -weak, unsteady, and usually rapid |
|
|
Rate of ventilations in an adult with an advanced airway in place
|
1 every 6-7 seconds or
8-10 per minute • To much Oxy. can increase ICP, decrease cardiac output and venous return. |
|
|
Rate of ventilations w/ BVM during CPR
|
one breath every 5-6 seconds
or 10-12 per minute |
|
|
Normal adult BP
|
120/80
|
|
|
Adult hypertension rate
|
140/90
|
|
|
The condition of having a normal BP
|
Normotension
|
|
|
7 signs of respiratory distress
|
• Nasal flaring
• Paradoxic or Asymmetric chest movements • Use of accessory muscles • Lip pursing • Noisy breathing • Obvious difficulty in inhalation or exhalation • Cyanosis |
|
|
Three main areas assessed with Glasgow coma scale:
|
• Eye opening
• Verbal response • Motor response |
|
|
Normal blood sugar
|
60-100
|
|
|
Maximum and minimum possible Glasgow coma scale, score
|
15 -max
3 -min |
|
|
Abnormal pupils and causes
|
Dilated -fear, shock, cardiac arrest, brain injury, stimulant drugs, blindness
Constricted -head injury, brain hemorrhage, stroke, opiate /depressant drugs, poisoning Unequal -head injury, brain hemorage, trauma to eye, cataract surgery Unresponsive -coma, death, artificial eye, drugs |
|
|
Maximum Glasgow coma scale scores for the 3 main areas assessed
|
6 -Eye opening
5 -Verbal response 4 -Motor response |
|
|
3 abnormal breathing sounds
|
Wheezes -high pitched: asthma, COPD, left-sided CHF
Rhonchi -gurgling: fluid in larger airways; larynx, trachea, bronchi Rales -crackling or bubbling: fluid in alveoli; left-sided CHF or pneumonia |
|
|
Normal Pulse oximeter reading
|
95-100%
|
|
|
Medical reason for JVD
|
Possible CHF due to right-sided CHF. Resistance of blood backing up into the vascular system because it is moving slowly through the right side of the heart due to right ventricle impairment.
|
|
|
Trauma reason for JVD
|
Possible cardiac tamponade.
|
|
|
Vital signs for adult "priority" Pt.
|
Systolic BP <90
Pulse <50 or >120 Respirations <10 or >25 |
