The pulse is the number of times the heart beats per minute. To measure placed two fingers (never use the thumb because it has its own pulse) in the arteries of the wrist or neck. They must feel about 60/80 beats per minute in adults, 100/120, and 140 newborns.
To verify that the patient breathes
· Put your ear to the nose of the injured, to hear and feel the breath.
· Bring the back of his hand to his nose to feel the breath.
• If possible, place your hand under your chest to feel the movement
· Place a mirror near the nostril, to see if it persists.
• The number of normal breaths is 15 to 20 per minute.
To check reflexes corneal · Strike to see if the movement responds with a lid.
· Note if the pupil constricts to induce a ray of light on it.
· Pinch or tap the inside of your arm or leg, which should move in response.
Takes Pressure
is the pressure that blood exerts on the artery walls. Is measured at two levels, systolic and diastolic pressure.
• Put your left arm if right handed and vice versa at heart level by resting on a table or arm chair if the person is lying on the floor to leave the arm at the ground.
• Put the cuff around your bare arm, between shoulder and elbow.
· Place the bell of the stethoscope at the elbow, just below the cuff sphygmomanometer. Pump the bulb
· rapidly until the pressure reaches 30 mm Hg more than the maximum expected.
· Deflate the cuff slowly, causing pressure to drop 2 to 3 mm Hg per second. Listen to the sound pulse as the pressure falls. When the heartbeat becomes audible, note the pressure, which is the maximum or systolic pressure. Follow deflating. When you hear the heartbeat stops, write back pressure, which is the minimum or diastolic pressure.
· Repeat the process at least once more to check the readings.
normal blood pressure values.
NORMAL VALUE
