What else can I help you with?
In normal conditions is the apical pulse the same as the radial pulse?
NO. the difference between the Apical and Radial pulse is known as the pulse deficit. There should be some difference between the twon.
What conditions may cause the apical and radial pulse to be different from each other?
Please double check this but here is a shot Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the When_would_an_apical_pulse_be_less_then_radial_pulseof a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
How do you monitor a childs pulse?
It is ideal to use the apical pulse for monitoring a child's heart rate.
Are pulse rates the same in each different location?
Yes, the pulse rates of different locations should be the same since they are all coming from the heart.
Why would you have normal pulse on one arm and no pulse on the other arm?
cause you would have different arteries in your arm
Is pulse rate is a repetitive natural phonomena which could serve as resonable time standard?
Pulse rate changes, so it is not a reliable measure of a time standard. It is different for different people too.
What changes do you need to look out for when monitoring a child's pulse?
How do you monitor a child's pulse
What conditions or circumstances may cause the apical pulse to be different from each other?
The apical pulse can differ from other pulse sites due to variations in blood flow, heart rate, or rhythm. Conditions such as arrhythmias, where the heart beats irregularly, or peripheral vascular disease, which affects blood flow to extremities, can lead to discrepancies. Additionally, factors like body position, temperature, and physical activity can influence pulse readings at different sites. Lastly, anatomical variations in blood vessels may also contribute to differences in pulse assessment.
Does pulse rate and sweating have anything to do with each other?
yes when you sweat your pulse rate changes
What are the signs and symptoms of a person not breathing and no pulse?
The signs/symptoms are in the question itself... the person is apneic and has no pulse.
In normal conditions is the apical pulse the same as the radial pulse?
NO. the difference between the Apical and Radial pulse is known as the pulse deficit. There should be some difference between the twon.
What are you measuring When taking the pulse?
When taking the pulse, you are measuring the heart rate, which is the number of times the heart beats per minute. This measurement provides insights into cardiovascular health and can indicate how well the heart is functioning. The pulse also reflects the rhythm and strength of the heartbeat, helping to assess overall circulatory system efficiency. Changes in pulse rate or quality can signal various health conditions.
What does a pulse plethysmograph measure?
A pulse plethysmograph measures changes in blood volume in a specific area (usually a finger or toe) over time, which corresponds to the pulsatile blood flow through that area. It is commonly used to assess peripheral perfusion and detect conditions such as arterial occlusion or peripheral vascular disease.
Why the pulse is beat a vital sign of life?
A pulse beat shows that the heart is still working, pumping blood through the circulatory system.
What will happened if a person pulse will stop?
The person will die.
What conditions may cause the apical and radial pulse to be different from each other?
Please double check this but here is a shot Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the When_would_an_apical_pulse_be_less_then_radial_pulseof a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.
How does pulse change?
It goes up and down, as you become active or inactive, excited or calmed.
