What else can I help you with?
How do you auscultate apical heartbeat?
The aprical pulse is located midclavicular line, at the 5th intercostal space.
Where is the apical pulse located?
5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line
Which is the PMI where auscultation of the heart is done?
5th intercostal space at MCL
What intercostal space is the liver at?
The liver primarily occupies the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and extends from the 5th intercostal space to the lower border of the rib cage. Its upper margin typically aligns with the 5th intercostal space in the midclavicular line, while its lower edge can extend as far down as the 10th intercostal space. However, the exact position can vary based on factors like individual anatomy and breathing.
What important structures are found in 5th intercostal space?
of the heart (left ventricle)
What lead is subclavicular 5Th intercostal space on a 12 lead EKG?
The subclavicular 5th intercostal space on a 12-lead EKG typically corresponds to the V5 lead. This lead is positioned at the anterior axillary line at the same horizontal level as V4, which is located at the 5th intercostal space in the midclavicular line. V5 helps in assessing the lateral wall of the left ventricle and can provide information about conditions such as ischemia or infarction in that area.
Where about is your heart?
It is located at the 5th intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line. Which means find the 5th space in between your ribs then intersect it with the middle of your collar bone.
Is apex of the heart determined in the anterior portion between 5th and 8th intercostal space?
yes
Upon exhalation what intercostal space does the diaphragm reach?
The right portion can reach all the way up to around the third rib because of the liver abutting the inferior surface. Meanwhile, the left side may only reach up to the fourth intercostal space.
Where do you put a stethoscope to listen to the aortic valve?
over the right sternal border and the second intercostal space(n.b. it seems paradoxical from the anatomy of the heart, where the aortic valve comes out from the left ventrical, but think of it as the aorta come out of the ventricle, it actually crosses over a bit to the right so it can form the arch of aorta
Needle thoracentesis is accomplished at the what intercostal space mid-axcillary line or what intercostal space mid clavicular line?
from what I've read its the following mid clavicular = 5-7 mid axillary = 7-9 paravetebral = 9-11 i believe that it is the second in the midclavicular and either 6,7, or 8 in he midaxillary
Where is the correct location for obtaining the apical pulse?
Sitting position or standing position to record appropriately.
