- 21. 21 Examination
- 22. General condition-- • Built • Nourishment • Tripod position • Purse lip breathing 22
- 23. Pulse : • Bradycardia - Hypoxia. • Tachycardia - Pneumonia , Pulmonary Embolism, ARDS • Pulsus Paradoxus – Acquired severe asthma, COPD • Collapsing /bounding pulse — CO2 narcosis. 23
- 24. Respiratory Rate & Breathing Pattern-- • Tachypnoea > 20/min • Causes Pneumonia Acute pulmonary odema Pulmonary embolism ARDS Metabolic acidosis • Others causes • Fever , hypoxia, excitation, nervousness 24
