90/64, when you hear the first sound around 130 and disappear then repick up at 90 it's called an auscultatory gap. Meaning it's diminished sounds when taking a systolic pressure. When taking a BP you want consistent flow of sounds at it's peak and end. Not a sound then it disappears = the auscultatory gap. This gap can give you false systolic readings.

I never heard of an ausculatory gap until this video and it looks like people have learned different things on whether to record the first sound, or to record the sound once it is consistent, so I googled it. It looks like you record the first sound for systolic and last sound for diastolic and record if the gap was present. There are studies that show people with an ausculatory gap have false low systolic readings, so you need to record the first sound. If you aren't sure if it is an ausculatory gap or artifact, you recheck it.

In Nursing school you are taught some people have an ascultory gap. That first beat is where you start counting. If you want to be precise perform the occlusion test. Palpate the radial artery while inflating the BP cuff. When you no longer feel a pulse dedlate the cuff. Wait 2 minutes and take the Bp going 20mmhg over that last number. The reason you inflate 20 more is to catch an ascultory gap. 130/60 is normal for any healthy adult. A BP of 90/60 would have me more concerned unless the patient had known heart or kidney problems. Any lower than 90 and im going to start a bolus or call a rapid. Some hospitals will start interventions if systolic falls below 100. Depending on the patient's baseline. Charting a 90/60 will scare the care team. Especially if the nurse before correctly charted 130/60. That's a 40 point difference and i would personally call a rapid.
@katies3201
Жыл бұрын
130/60 is not normal for any healthy adult. 120/80 is “normal” and a wide pulse pressure of 130/60 would likely have me questioning if this patient has a cardiac condition or is heading toward sepsis. I’d be watching them. Closely. Pulse pressure gap normally should be 40-60. Any more than that and you should be asking more questions and alerting someone.
@Jason-bz6uw
Жыл бұрын
@katies3201 you clearly don't work in Healthcare. No one would be concerned for 130/60 bp. 120/80 is ideal, but no one has that bp. One end of the spectrum, you have athletes or people who used to be with really healthy hearts, and they typically run bp's on the lower side. I'm talking 100/60 with HR in the 40s! Then you have unhealthy, sedentary, or just plain sick people with bps like 200/110. But no doctors or nurse will bat an eye for 130/60. Unless systolic goes above 180 or drops below 90, most doctors will say continue to monitor. Same with diastolic, if it drops below 60 or goes above 100, most will not be concerned. You always look at a patient's baseline and judge based on that. I know text books tout the 120/80, but that's very rare, bp. If you continually run a bp 140/90, that's considered your baseline, and no intervention would be required. Also, that's not in the least bit alarming. You have to discard book knowledge once you're in healthcare and use clinical judgment in every situation. Book knowledge guides us as the golden standard. But each individual has their own standard, which we call their baseline. Our goal is to return patient's to their baseline, not get them to the golden standards. This is across all healthcare professions and lab results. If a patient uses an assistive device and break their leg. Our goal is to get them ambulating using that device again. Our goal isn't to get the patient walking like a normal person. This is true for all vital signs and labs. COPD patients may have an O2 sat of 91% and respiration rate of 25. Both outside the normal value, BUT it's normal for that patient(baseline), and no Healthcare professional would be concerned. MAP is a better indicator than systolic/diastolic for bp. 130/60 is a MAP of 83, which is completely normal(70-100 is normal). You'll understand cardiac conditions more once you actually work in the field and not read it from a book. I had to toss a lot of things I learned in Nursing school myself. Real world vs ideal world.

It has gotten to where I am having an anxiety attack by the time the machine is finished, which shows an elevated bp anyway. I recently had an outpatient procedure at a hospital and told this to the pre-op nurse. She was so kind and took time to check it the manual way. When I went into the OR they strapped that machine on me and started squeezing my arm on the machine again. It hurt so bad. I started panicking so the nurse anesthesist just put me under with no warning. I had bruises and blood blisters on my skin from the bp cuff afterward.

More importantly, if 138 was in fact, their systolic, the absence of a consistent heartbeat between 138, and around 90ish would lead me to believe that we have bigger problems then figuring out a manual BP! i’ve noticed comments were people say that the silence is normal!? I don’t think so?!? that would mean that you have the cuff so tight that you’re restricting blood flow to the brachial artery. I say, Silence of ANY kind is never good when it comes to the heart, or children playing alone! 😂
@Kimberly34584

You’re actually partly correct. The cuff is provide just enough pressure on the arterial walls to restrict blood flow to the areas below the cuff. Blood pressure measures the work of your heart. So essentially we restrict the artery to see at what pressure can your heart forcefully get blood to your arm. And the second number is when the pressure is reduced enough so that the heart doesn’t have to force the blood anymore. And sometimes our heart can get out more force but needs more time before the next “beat” to get through to the arm

@@jennakhivkapratt8751 there is but it's not "hard " math for most people, but since I have dyscalcula it's hard for me, like with vitals you have to count and rememeber numbers while you are counting, so hard 😅 When I took first aide I couldn't do it and almost failed because of that 🙃 maybe my other skills can make for up for this serious lack of one

Omg. Thank you so much for this. I have a toddler who needs his blood pressure taken and sometimes we can only get an accurate reading on a manual machine. And his peds office can't do it. And I can't take him to the children's hospital every time he has a couple high seeming readings.

I wish my blood pressure was this low. Geez. I'm dealing with hypertension now. 160/90 my nurse freaked out. I'm on amlodipine 10mg, 5'8, 260lbs, 40bmi. I'm damn near a vegetarian, drinking 64oz water daily, very low sodium diet, low fat, rainbow veggies, hibiscus tea, beet juice, taking magnesium supplement, eating walnuts, pistachios, spinach, Swiss chard and do Box breathing technique. I have a sleep apnea test in a couple of weeks. Let's see what that brings. But I'm thinking if getting the endoscopic balloon or the stomach Suture to assist in weight loss.

In MA they taught us the book way. But from their experience they say just pump until 180 and go from there since most people don’t know what their bp is normally

It’s 92/60, first single at 132 wasn’t it, it has to be continuous “bump.bump.bump” after systolic, there was no continuous pumping after 132, it tripped me up too

If you go by Korotkoff sounds, it would be clear that the random beats aren’t the beginning of the systolic reading. You need to first listen to two consecutive heartbeats, etc,.

So now I understand the procedure, but I've always wondered: how does this work? I know it involves cutting off circulation and then releasing, but why does high bp make the pulse resume earlier? Why does the pulse stop after a few seconds of coming back as the cuff pressure decreases? And, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, systolic is the pressure experienced during a beat; dysystolic is the pressure between beats. How does the resumption and cessation of the pulse, which spans over several beats, correspond to numbers relating to separate points of a beat?

I say 90/60 but would retake it, the sound at 130 threw me of. Also I wouldn't bump to an expected RR . I learnd to feel the puls from the radialis, when you can't feel it anymore go 20mmhg higher and start hearing and deflating the cuff. But there are different methods around , do what you are comfortable with

As an EMT student, you don’t necessarily have to pump it to 150 my instructors have told me you can go to 180 people are not really gonna know the difference because they know that the cuff is going to be tight 180 is the max but 160 is the standard across the board also, at times you are going to have to pump it farther than 160 due to people who have smaller arms or the geriatric patients hard to get blood pressure on patients like that most of the time. An important thing to note too, is that each of the mini dial or lines are always going to be an increments of 2 so if you get an odd number on a manual blood pressure it’s considered as a made up blood pressure and this is how most people can tell that you are shit at blood pressure. Automatic blood pressure you are going to get odd numbers but never on a manual. Another I’ve learned to is that never go by the needle always go by the sound . As for me I alway go by the sound. How to place or start a manual blood pressure you are going to take the cuff wrap it around the bicep/tricep and the stethoscope go on the arm where flexion occurs except that it’s going to be place on the inner side of it why because that’s where your brachial artery is located and yes you can feel a pulse there. Forgot to mention on blood pressure cuffs there’s a mark at the bottom of the cuff that marks or gives you a guide where the artery is located. If you don’t know where the brachial artery is located take two fingers place it on the side of your elbow that’s closest to you or inner side of your arm and you are going to have to move some things around to feel it. Can’t find it follow your pinky start from the pinky and work your way up to your elbow and move the muscles out of the way and apply a little bit of pressure you should find or feel a pulse. You can also find a pulse on your thumb too it’s really hard to find it lol but it’s there
