How do you calculate pulse pressure?
Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 80).
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?
high blood pressure and low pulse rate
Is pulse included in vital signs?
Yes, it is. Pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation are the most common 'vital signs'.
i have blood pressure of 82/50 and pulse 81 is that an emergency?
my blood pressure is 82/50 pulse 81. is this an emergency
Pulse pressure Is a blood pressure reading of 177 over 65 a pulse rate of 66 and a pulse pressure of 112 a problem?
terrible
As blood moves through heart blood pressure increases or decreases?
What occurs as blood moves away from the heart? pulse decreases blood pressure increases pulse increases blood pressure decreases
What is the difference between pulse and blood pressure?
Pulse is the rhythmic beating of the heart felt in arteries, while blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries.
What does nicotine do to you?
increases pulse and blood pressure
Systolic blood pressure minus diastolic blood pressure is known as?
Pulse pressure.it should ideally be about 40.when it increases it can be risk for heart and kidney.it is normal for pulse pressure to rise during exercise.
Why is it not possible to obtain diastolic blood pressure using the palpatory method?
The palpatory method of obtaining a blood pressure is when the person taking the blood pressure feels the radial pulse (in the wrist) while pumping up the blood pressure cuff. When the radial pulse disappears, this is the systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted in the arteries when the heart has contracted and is forcing the blood through the arteries - it therefore gives the reading for the maximum blood pressure. When we feel a pulse, we are feeling the blood being forced through the arteries (meaning we only feel the pulse at the maximum pressure which is the same as the systolic blood pressure, allowing us to get a systolic blood pressure from feeling the pulse). The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed, or the minimum amount of pressure. Because the pressure is lower at this stage, it is not possible to feel the pulse and therefore it is not possible to obtain a diastolic reading using the palpatory method, a stethoscope is required to be able to hear the blood flow rather than feel it.
How do you determine a person's diastolic blood pressure?
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
