- 1. Lecture 4 Pulse &RespiratoryRate Prepared by Mrs :Najya Yusif Ahmed
- 2. Pulse rate(PR) Pulse/heart rateis the wave of blood in the artery created by contraction of the left ventricle during a cardiac cycle. Normal pulse rate range for an adult is between 60-100 beats per minute .
- 3. Types of Pulserate • Peripheral pulses that can be felt at the periphery of the body by palpating an artery over a bony prominence. Examples are carotid, radial and popliteal pulses. • Apical pulse which is a central pulse located on the apex of the heart that is monitored using a stethoscope.
- 5. Site of Apicalpulse
- 6. Peripheral Pulse sites 1.Temporal 2. Carotid 3. Brachial 4. Radial 5. Femoral 6. Popliteal 7. Posterior tibial artery 8. Dorsalis pedis
- 7. Parameters of Pulses 1.Rate: Number of pulsation which could be • Bradycardia: Reduced Pulse Rate Pulse Rate <60/min • Tachycardia: Elevated(rapid) pulse rate Pulse Rate >100/min 2 . Rhythm: Time interval between pulse beats.
- 8. Normal Pulse rates: •Newborn: 100-160 bpm • 0-5 months: 90-150 bpm • 6-12 months: 80-140 bpm • 1-3 years: 80-130 bpm • 3-5 years: 80-120 bpm • 6-10 years: 70-110 bpm • 11-14 years: 60-105 bpm • 15 and older :60-100bpm
- 9. Respiratory rate(RR) Respiratory rateis the number of breaths you take per minute. The normal respiration rate for an adult at rest is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. • Bradypnea is the medical term used to define breathing that is abnormally slow. • Less than 12 breathes per minute. • Tachypnea is the medical term used to define an elevated respiratory rate. • more than 20 breathes per minute.

Normal respiratory rates: •Newborn: 30-60 breaths per minute • Infant (1 to 12 months): 30-60 breaths per minute • Toddler (1-2 years): 24-40 breaths per minute • Preschooler (3-5 years): 22-34 breaths per minute • School-age child (6-12 years): 18-30 breaths per minute • Adolescent (13-17 years): 12-16 breaths per minute • Adults:12-20breaths per minute.
