If you are a long distance runner or triathelete, this may be normal for you. Otherwise you may have a condition called bradycardia, and you should be evaluated by a physician. Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heartrate. PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. PR > 220 BPM - Abnormally high heart rate.
It measures the time it takes for the radar pulse to go from the radar gun to your vehicle and back. The pulse is fairly constant so the radar gun is getting updates and by comparing the updates to the time it can determine speed.
To quote an article I read from a fellow Biology instructor, entitled "everything you ever wanted to know about worms"..."From lab experiments it has been discovered that at 50C the pulse rate slows down to approximately 7 pulses /30 seconds. At 250C (room temp) the worm's pulse rate is about 15 pulses/30 seconds and in a jacuzzi of 350C the pulse rate speeds up to approximately 22 pulses/30 sec."
The point of the radial pulse is located on the patient's 'thumb' side of their wrist. You locate the patient's radial artery (pulse pont) in the patient's wrist using your middle two or three fingers. You count the number of pulses that occur in eiher 30 seconds or 1 minute. NEVER use your thumb to take a pulse. You would then be feeling your OWN pulse.
The blood vessel that has a pulse is an artery. Veins do not have enough blood pressure to register a pulse.
It is possible to have a pulse but no breathing as in asphyxiation, but the reverse is impossible, without a pulse you basically aren't alive, that pulse is a symbol of blood pumping through your body. Good answer above. I should add that, in some subjects, that pulse may be there but not be palpable.
what does the pulse measure
Your heartbeat
Your pulse measures the action of the heart.
A pulse plethysmograph is also known as a pulse volume recorder. A pulse plethysmograph measures the oxygen saturation level or SpO2.
The pulse (usually taken in the wrist) measures the heart rate.
A pulse oximeter measures the oxygenation of patient's hemoglobin. To use a pulse oximeter you simply put the sensor on your index finger.
160
No, a thermometer measures temperature,
The normal pulse range is 30-45 for an adult horse.
lie detector
A heart-rate monitor is used.
A pulse oximeter measures the body's oxygen saturation with a small clip.
