Know how to read a blood pressure. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Systolic pressure:
high reading during contraction (systole)
Diastolic pressure: low reading during relaxation (diastole)
Normal is patient dependent (not necessarily 120/80)
Width: 40% of upper arm circumference
Length: 80% of upper arm circumference
Palpate the brachial artery then center the inflatable cuff over the brachial
artery with the lower border 2.5 cm above the antecubital crease.
Secure the cuff -snug, not tight. Inflate the cuff at the level of the heart with
the fingers of your opposite hand, palpate the radial pulse and inflate the
cuff until it disappears.

,Wait 15-30 seconds
Then place the bell of your stethoscope lightly over the brachial artery
repeat inflation of cuff to 20 -30 mmHg above the level that the pulse went
away to avoid an error due to an auscultatory gap.
Deflate the cuff at a rate of 2-3 mmHg/secondØFirst sound = systolic blood
pressureØDisappearance of sound = diastolic blood pressure
auscalatory gap - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A silent interval that may be present
between the systolic and diastolic blood pressures, i.e. the sound
disappears for a while, then reappears
Know the pulse points and what they mean in regards to SBP - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔carotid
femoral
radial
pedal
carotid pulse - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the pulse felt along the large carotid artery
on either side of the neck
60 mmHg

,femoral pulse - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔pulse of the femoral artery felt in the groin
70mm Hg
radial pulse - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the pulse felt at the wrist
80 mmHg
pedal pulse - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The pulse rate obtained on the top of the foot
90-100 mmHg
Know the types of shock. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Cardiogenic
hypovolemic
distributive (septic,anaphylactic, neurogenic)
obstructive (mechanical)
insulin
cardiogenic shock - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A state in which not enough oxygen is
delivered to the tissues of the body, caused by low output of blood from the
heart. It can be a severe complication of a large acute myocardial
infarction, as well as other conditions. Most commonly caused by AMIOther
causes: myocarditis, myocardial contusion"Pump Problem" Decreased CO
leads to hypoperfusionHeart begins to fail standard shock treatment

, applies. The patient may not tolerate supine or Trendelenburg position.
Treatment is advanced and complicated. Transport to a cardiac facility
critical. Time is tissue!
hypovolemic shock - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Volume issue due to blood loss in
traumaBlood loss covered in previous lecture be due to dehydration in
medical very young and very old more susceptible
anaphylactic shock - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A severe reaction that occurs when an
allergen is introduced to the bloodstream of an allergic individual.
Characterized by bronchoconstriction, labored breathing, widespread
vasodilation, circulatory shock, and sometimes sudden death.
BIG 3 wheezes, urticaria, pruritus
obstructive (mechanical) shock - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Tension PneumothoraxAir
trapped in the thoracic cavity with the shifting of mediastinal structuresLife
threateningSigns of shockCan be spontaneous (Male, tall, thin)Absent lung
sounds on affected sidePericardial tamponadeFluid buildup in the
pericardial causes compression of the heartLife threateningBeck's Triad
Narrowing pulse pressure Muffled heart sounds JVD
