Hello!

I would like to ask for clarification, my clinical instructor told me that we shouldn't use our thumb when holding the bell or the diaphragm of the stethoscope since it has a pulse. Can you please help me solve my curiosity?

[hossamyasser]

So I hear soft almost silent silk sounding beats on some patients. This is where I get confused and don’t know if I count that as the systolic or that first STRONG sound. Help!

[ezinnemary]

I cant hear my pulse in the stethoscope, can I go by the needle on meter jumping?

[joebenavides]

does that guy owe you money or something? he looks miserable

[omegacon]

You can't hear your brachial artery pulse with a stethoscope until you inflate the air cuff and then slowly release the air pressure.

[cherisej]

I'm still confused on how you get the diastolic.

[Leyenda]

Should have had a split screen to show the guage.

[PerfectionismOne]

What if they don’t know their normal BP?

[Lisa-my-friend]

Never hold the stethoscope with your thumb, which has a strong pulse that you may hear and throw off the reading.

[jackwalker]

Wdym “last beat” is diastolic. Last beat? Like what??? Are they dead

[Autumn_]

Yeah still makes no sense. I'm only in 11th grade. My trade school teacher wanted us to buy one but if it doesn't make sense I'm not

[DeaneCorlett-Aspell]

Hello you don’t put your thumb over your stethoscope when doing manual bp because your thumb has a pulse

Except from that grate explosion
