FACTORS AFFECTING

PULSE RATE


22/69

Age

As age increases, the pulse rate gradually decreases

Sex

After puberty, the average males pulse rate is slightly lower

than the females.

Exercise

Pulse rate usually increases with activity

Fever

The pulse rate increases in response to the lowered blood

pressure that associated with elevated body temperature,

Medications

Some medications decrease the pulse rate, and others increase

it.

Conversion of Centigrade to

Fahrenheit

To convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit,multiply by 9/5 and add 32.

F = (9/5 x C ) + 32To change Fahrenheit to Centigrade, subtract

32 and multiply by 5/9.

C = (F 32 ) x 5/9


47/69

BP APPARATUS


48/69

lood pressure is the force of the bloodpushing against the walls of the blood

vessels. Each time the heart beats, itpumps blood into the arteries.

When the heart is contracting, the

pressure is highest. This pressure iscalled Systolic Pressure.

As the heart is at its most relaxed state,

the pressure is lowest and what we callas Diastolic Pressure.

Stethoscope

A stethoscope is an instrument which

is used for listening to the action of theheart, lungs, etc., usually consisting of a

circular piece placed against the chest, with

tubes leading to earpieces.

BP Apparatus Mercurial

(sphygmomanometer)

A mercury-based unit has a manually

inflatable cuff attached by tubing to the unit

that is calibrated in millimeters of mercury.

During blood pressure measurement, the unit

must be kept upright on a flat surface and the

gauge read at eye level.

BP Apparatus Digital

(sphygmomanometer)A digital unit is mercury free and consists

of a cuff that can be applied with one hand

for self-testing; a stethoscope that is built in

or attached; and a valve that inflates and

deflates automatically with the data

displayed on the LCD
