Why would the dorsalis pedis pulse be taken?

The dorsalis pedis pulse is taken to assess blood flow to the foot and lower extremities. It is commonly checked in patients with peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, or in a general cardiovascular assessment. A weak or absent dorsalis pedis pulse can indicate reduced blood supply to the lower extremities.


What is increased if pulse duration is decreased?

If pulse duration is decreased, the peak power of the pulse is increased. This is because peak power is inversely proportional to pulse duration. So, as the duration of the pulse shortens, the energy is delivered in a shorter time period, resulting in an increase in peak power.


Why is your pulse taken from either your neck and wrist?

Your pulse is taken from either your neck or wrist is because you have major veins in those areas that pumps blood to the heart, which is sent in rhythms synced with your heart. You have artery's in your neck, which is the Jugular Arteries. Blood is pumped out of the heart to arteries which give blood to the rest of the body. Those to places have strong sync with the heart which lead to the beat being in rhythm.

What is pulse deficit?

It is the difference in the apical pulse and the radial pulse. These should be taken at the same time, which will require that 2 people take the pulse. One with a stethoscope and one at the wrist. Count for 1 full minute. The subtract the radial from the apical. This is the Pulse Deficit.


How do you calculate speed of pulse in a slinky?

To calculate the speed of a pulse in a slinky, you can measure the distance the pulse travels and the time it takes to travel that distance. The speed of the pulse is the distance divided by the time. This can be done by creating a pulse at one end of the slinky and timing how long it takes for the pulse to reach the other end.


How drive works and Calculate time in one pulse?

A drive controls the motion of a motor by sending signals that regulate speed and direction. To calculate the time taken for one pulse, divide the pulse duration by the frequency of pulses. For example, if a pulse lasts 10 milliseconds and occurs every 100 milliseconds, the time for one pulse would be 10 milliseconds.


Apical pulse versus arterial pulse?

An arterial pulse is one which is taken over top of an artery, ex. Radial, Femoral, Carotid pulse, ect. An Apical pulse is one taken in between the 4th or 5th left intercostal space. It isn't taken from an artery, but from below the heart itself.(Apex of the heart) Source: I'm a paramedic.

How drive works Calculate time in one pulse?

To calculate the time for one pulse in a drive system, you need to know the pulse frequency or pulse rate of the drive. The time per pulse is the inverse of the pulse frequency. For example, if the pulse frequency is 100 Hz, the time for one pulse would be 1/100 = 0.01 seconds, or 10 milliseconds.
