One patient, with a weak
radial pulse, was carried by health workers on a 'charpai' to the nearest road from where he was rushed to a health centre on a bike ambulance.
TUESDAY, July 30, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Changes in the harmonics of the
radial pulse wave during menopause may reflect cardiovascular risk, according to a study presented at the American Heart Association Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2019 Scientific Sessions, held from July 29 to Aug.
The oximeter pulse rate displayed on the screen was compared with the simultaneous measurement of the
radial pulse obtained by palpation on the other hand to be sure that signals were coincident.[3],[4],[5] If the sensor was not able to track the pulse during the measurement period due to excessive patient motion, no saturation reading was obtained, and a check sensor signal was displayed.[6]
Vital signs per EMS were: heart rate 112 bpm, pulse oximetry 95%, respirations 15, temperature 97.7[degrees] F, blood glucose 172, pupils were equal and reactive, and good
radial pulse with capillary refill < 2 sec.
Beginning exactly 1 min after he stops, the
radial pulse was taken.
Atrial Fibrillation was defined as a cardiac rhythm disorder characterized by irregularly irregular
radial pulse (on examination) and absent P waves as well as irregular R-R intervals on electrocardiography (ECG).
For your
radial pulse, place the same fingers on the inside of your wrist.
* First, check the maternal
radial pulse and correlate it with the heart rate baseline.
On examining the peripheral pulses, the right
radial pulse was feeble with small volume; all other pulses were well felt.
The patient had a strong left
radial pulse and brisk capillary refill of the left hand with no tenderness or deformity.
After the patient was fully awake from sedation, a thorough neurovascular exam was obtained (see Supplemental Video 1) which revealed intact sensation and full strength in the median, radial, ulnar, posterior interosseous, and anterior interosseous nerves with a strong 2+
radial pulse. There was no pain with passive range of motion, and his compartments were soft and compressible.
