Blood pressure info
Cards in this deck (18)
- 1What is systolic measuring?The ventricles when they contract and the force it has on the arterial wall
- 2What is diastolic measuring?Force on the arterial walls at rest when the heart chambers are filling up
- 3What is the normal progression of systolic pressure with exercise?Increases around 8-12 mm Hg
In a healthy adult it is common to see a 40-50 mm Hg difference - 4What is the normal change of diastolic pressure?Increases/decrease by 10 mm Hg
- 5When should you stop exercise base on BP?Systolic is 210 mm Hg
or
Diastolic is 110 mm Hg - 6What does pulse measure?The difference between systolic and diastolic
- 7With the ankle-brachial index what is typical to see when reading the results of BP?Systolic in the leg are typical higher than the systolic of the arms
This is why in some cases results of >1.0 is still normal - 8During exercise when does BP response the most?During the concentric phase of exercise
- 9What happens to BP with age?Pumping of the blood decreases so the body adjusts to this by increasing BP
- 10The Korokoff phases of sound of the heart during BP readingsPhase 1=First clear tapping sound, systolic
Phase 2=Softer and louder
Phase 3=Crisper and louder
Phase 4=Muffled and softer
Phase 5=Disappears, diastolic - 11Normal BP in an adult?120 mm Hg / 80 mm Hg
- 12What is prehypertension of an adult?120-139 mm Hg / 80-89 mm Hg
- 13What is stage 1 hypertension in an adult?140-159 mm Hg / 90-99 mm Hg
- 14What is stage 2 hypertension in an adult?160-179 mm Hg / 100-109 mm Hg
- 15What is stage 3 hypertension (hypertension crisis) in an adult?>180 mm Hg / >110 mm Hg
- 16What is the normal BP in an infant?80 mm Hg / 50 mm Hg
- 17What is normal BP in a child?100 mm Hg / 55 mm Hg
- 18What is normal BP in a adolescent kid?115 mm Hg / 70 mm Hg
