Special considerations while measuring pulse01:13

Special considerations while measuring pulse

Assessing a patient's pulse is a fundamental skill in healthcare, but certain situations require special attention:

Assessment of apical radial pulse01:25

Assessment of apical radial pulse

1.2K
Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.3K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Assessment of Radial Pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:

Pulse Oximetry01:24

Pulse Oximetry

1.2K
Pulse oximetry, or SpO2, is a non-invasive method for continuously monitoring arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). This procedure involves attaching a probe or sensor to the patient's fingertip, forehead, earlobe, or nose bridge. The sensor works by detecting changes in oxygen saturation levels through light signals generated by the oximeter and reflected by the pulsing blood under the probe.
Purpose
Average SpO2 values are greater than 95%. If the readings fall below 90%, it indicates that...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Signal Processing

    Background:

    • Monitoring the internal jugular vein (IJV) pulse is vital for cardiovascular assessment.
    • Wearable accelerometer-based measurements are often hindered by common carotid artery (CCA) interference.
    • Accurate IJV pulse signal extraction is challenging in wearable applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply Independent Component Analysis (ICA) for extracting internal jugular vein (IJV) signals from Skin Acceleration Plethysmography (APG) data.
    • To minimize interference from the common carotid artery (CCA) in wearable IJV pulse measurements.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of ICA in improving the accuracy of wearable IJV pulse monitoring.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to process Skin Acceleration Plethysmography (APG) data.
    • Conducted an in-vivo study with 22 participants.
    • Analyzed the reduction in %RMSE and increase in correlation (R) for IJV-APG and IJV-pulse signals post-ICA.

    Main Results:

    • ICA application resulted in a 45.9% drop in %RMSE and a 137.1% rise in correlation (R) for IJV-APG signals.
    • IJV-pulse signals showed a 41.1% reduction in %RMSE and a 31.6% correlation increase post-ICA.
    • These improvements were statistically significant (p < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • Independent Component Analysis (ICA) effectively refines IJV pulse measurements obtained from wearable accelerometry.
    • ICA significantly mitigates common carotid artery (CCA) interference, enhancing measurement precision.
    • This technique holds strong potential for non-invasive, real-time cardiovascular health monitoring.
