Fever (elevated body temp) . Hyperpyrexia- above 41.1C (106F)
|
|

|
|
what is a normal pulse pressure?
|
30-40 mm Hg
|
|
|
What is bisferiens pulse?
|
increased arterial pulse with a double systolic peak. Seen commonly in aortic regurgitation
|
|
|
What is a pulsus alternans pulse?
|
regular rhythm, alternating amplitude from beat to beat (left ventricular failure)
|
|
|
What is a bigeminal pulse?
|
Normal beat alternating with premature contraction.
|
|
|
What is tachypnea?
|
rapid shallow breathing
|
|
|
What is bradypnea?
|
slow breathing
|
|
|
What is Cheyne-stokes breathing?
|
deep breathing alternate with apnea
|
|
|
obstructive breathing?`
|
expiration prolonged dt narrowed airways (asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD)
|
|
|
Hyperpnea
|
rapid deep breathing, hyperventilation
Kussmaul breathing due to metabolic acidosis. |
|
|
Biot's breathing (ataxic breathing)
|
unpredictable irregularity (brain damage, resp. depression)
|
|
|
what is pulsus paradoxus?
|
when the pulse gets weaker during inspiration and stronger during expiration. Sign of cardiac tamponade, pericarditis, chronic sleep apnea, croup, and obstructive lung disease
|
|
|
what is orthostatic hypotension?
|
gravity-induced blood pooling in the lower extremities, which in turn compromises venous return, resulting in decreased cardiac output and subsequently lowering of arterial pressure. For example, if a person changes from a lying position to standing, he or she will lose about 700 ml of blood from the thorax. It can also be noted that although there is a decreased systolic (contracting) blood pressure, there is actually an increased diastolic (resting) blood pressure.
