Entered DOL in Hospice a little while back and decided to review and refresh my waning recollection of Vital Sign Basics. Thanks for your dedication, time and effort.
It really helps me understand Maternal like when you read the books its like your reading the whole galaxy but when u watch this it just simple as that haha btw thanks❤️
In an emergency and I knew nothing about medicine I would not be able to get a bp reading after watching this video. I now know where the brachial and radias arteries are. But the actual procedure was unclear? I had to watch another video where they tell you... When she says palpate the brachial, I think she means pump up the cuff til the pulse goes away THEN add the about 30mmHg (the other vid said 20). That gives you systolic/p or Systolic over palpated. The diastolic doesn't seem to be explained well in this video just because we can't hear what the sounds she is talking about.
I’m confident in all other vitals except blood pressure. It’s like everyone has a different technique on how to do it and my other issue is that I can’t pinpoint exactly what number the needle is at when I hear the sounds.
Hello, I am big fun of your videos from Prague! Keep up the good work:) I have a question - today I had an older patient, I really had a hard time to palpate her pulse ( extremely weak). Any suggestions which pulse spot to use? Or use stethoscope instead on apical pulse? Thanks a lot:)
The Apical pulse is the best pulse when you are not sure. It is the most accurate. Having a weak pulse elsewhere indicates issues with oxygenation to that area.
You’re such a cutie and even though I’m not a nurse/doc at all I do know how to measure my bp manually W/stethoscope. I r don’t check mine often, as I’ve had many cheap bp cuffs over the years and aren’t very accurate for me personally and I likes few nice designer things besides my $60k camaro and some point my dream moncler puffer coat for $3k but I don’t like cheap manual bp cuffs for $20-$100 and back in 2017 I had a full $300 5 cuff Welch Allyn cuff set for personal use for 3 years and now I don’t have any though saving for a more expensive suntech/critikon bp cuff set and hand held bp monitor as well for traveling. But that’s all around $800 to $1000. Not including my 24 hour bp monitor I’m getting in 2-3 months for $300 or so.
@@drei000 the loudest sound will be your systolic (top number) and as you can't hear it any more that is your diastolic (bottom number). Its best when you're first practicing to do it in a quiet environment so you can really hear it. Also, the patient should be sitting with legs uncrossed and arm at heart level.
@@thatnursingprof2661 Thank you very interesting I would like to listen to myself I have to pay attention to something if I want to listen to the stomach or the lungs, thank you in advance
that would mean that you had an incorrect radial pulse reading doing it manually . Do keep in mind, if the resident/patient hands are extremely cold or hot for some reason , that could throw off the ox reading , but if that isn't the case than the pulse ox has the correct reading .
Thank you for this I’m going into night classes to become a cna and this is calming my anxiety!
Good luck 👍

Your videos are the best I have found. I just started school and I’m so nervous but your videos make it seem like a breeze. Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Can you show me what needle mark look like
Excellent...soo clear English...demonstration is perfectly done...learnt soo much from this video...be blessed ...
Thank for the information sis 🎉im from india🎉
I am happy I found this page. So helpful
Loved it! I found these to help me in my premed courses.. Thank you!!!!!!!

Yay! That's my goal to make it seem easy 🙂
indeed!
Can you make again please the Vital sign and the two step method?

Keep making such helpful vedios ...really helpful it was 👍🏻
thank you very helpful

The best way to get more comfortable is practice as much as you can and go slow, really listen for the sounds.

@unknown sure
@Art Quickie yes
@Art Quickie for the patient, its a tight squeeze on the arm but only temporary
Super helpful thankyou😊😊

@@thatnursingprof2661 Thanks, did you have a tip while listening? what do you pay attention to? Many thanks in advance

lots pll dont hv 120 over80
If the radial pulse doesn’t match the pulse oximeter, what’s the nurses priority intervention?
