Got sent here for an assignment during COVID. Also, this is pretty helpful.

[juuzousbitch]

I didn’t even listen to the video I was busy reading the comments, since I’ve already learnt about it.

multiplying 15 by 4 is the same as counting for a whole minute. people don't have time during emergencies to count to a minute. 15×4 equals 60

I’ve been trying to do this homework for 2 weeks I give I’m just going to say to my teacher I’m dead

That's not how you measure your RHR. It has to be measured while relaxed, at the lowest of your circadian cycle and without external stimulation. If a doctor takes my pulse at 1PM, near the peak of my circadian day, after lunch, while having a conversation and enduring the stress of the moment it will easily read 90+ BPM even sitting down after 5 minutes. Cardiologists ask you to lie down for 15 minutes, close your eyes and relaxed in silence while measuring your RHR. They prefer to give you a chest strap and get your info for 24 hours in order to really get the lowest point of your RHR which should be right after waking up even before leaving your bed. During sleep your RHR goes even lower than it is right when you wake up. For instance, my RHR while sitting down calmly in the middle of the day is around 72. Measure it late afternoon it should be around 66. Lying down in bed at midnight before going to sleep if drops into the low 50s/high 40s. While sleeping it sometimes get into the low 40s. Obviously, a pulse taken during a daily consultation is absolutely worthless. The simple fact of being aware of the doctor is enough to render the entire data useless. Many things affect your HR. Hour of the day, if you just ate or not (more blood flow to digest is needed), if you had a stressful day (your blood is filled with adrenaline and other stuff), if you had a work out earlier in the day (often raises your RHR as a result of adrenaline and lasting excitement), if you slept well or not etc. This is why individuals should measure it right after waking up when all those factors are severely reduced.

Thanks so much! This is also known as radial pulse

[SmthCriminaal]

should i be rested for a little bit before i take my pulse? mine is 65 when I'm laying down a while but goes up to 95 when I move around and 120 if I'm putting any effort into some task

[lilsofties]

Right now.my PED teacher from Kuwait is teaching abt this

[nagaskandakumar]

0:45 I think she's telling calculate how many beats for 15 seconds and multiply with 4.

[danieldejonge]

Why they palpate for 15 seconds is if your working on an ambulance you dont have time to wait for 60 seconds thats why you x4 but in a stable environment were time is not an issue you can wait a full minute while counting

Do not use the pads of your finger tips, especially when checking someone else’s heart rate. You have a pulse on your pads of your fingers so you might accidentally count yours with the patients. Always use the back of your pointer and middle finger.

so if you are 220 years oldyor max heart rate is 0
