-
Normal pulse rate for an adult?
60-100bpm
-
When is temporal pulse rate taken?
If radial pulse is unavailable and its most often used on children.
-
What is apical PMI pulse rate?
PMI- point of maximal impulse
-
Relationship between digoxin and apical PMI?
Apical pmi should be assessed before admin digoxin because digoxin makes the heart stronger by lowering the heart rate.
-
Brachial pulse site
measure BP and its was identifies cardiac arrest in infants.
-
Pulse deficit
heart not pumping hard enough to access all areas. most commonly seen in the foot.. if the apical pulse is greateter than the radial pulse
-
Pulse sites use to assess circulation in LE
femoral and popliteal
-
What is stroke vol.?
What is the normal values for men and women?
- measure of blood that enters the aorta with each ventricular contraction.

- women: 400ml or 4.5L
-
Formula for cardiac output?
Stroke volume x heart rate.
-
Systole
depolarization. ventricles contract to eject blood.
-
diastole
ventricles are relaxed and no blood is being rejected. repolarization. primarily a represenation of peripheral vascular resistance.

Ejection fraction and what is the normal function?
- how much blood % leaves our of the ventricle under pressure.
- normal value is 55-65%
-
What will a radionuclide image reveal?
congenital abnormalities, lesions, skeletal changes, infections, gland/organ enlargement.
