Special considerations while measuring pulse01:13

Special considerations while measuring pulse

1.0K
Assessing a patient's pulse is a fundamental skill in healthcare, but certain situations require special attention:
1.0K
Pulse rhythm01:30

Pulse rhythm

1.6K
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...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis relies heavily on tactile pulse palpation, a method not supported by current telemedicine platforms.
  • The development of the Assistive Pulse Data Collection (APDC) device aims to bridge this gap, enabling remote TCM diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of the APDC device for remote pulse assessment in TCM.
  • To assess the agreement among Chinese Medicine Practitioners (CMPs) regarding machine-generated pulse data compared to real-person pulses.
  • To gather user feedback from both CMPs and participants on the device's performance and usability.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase evaluation following WHO guidelines for new medical technologies.
  • Feasibility phase: 10 participants' pulses recorded by APDC; 5 CMPs evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale.
  • Pilot phase: 10 CMPs assessed pulses from 42 participants, with device refinements and feedback collection.

Main Results:

  • Initial CMP agreement was moderate-to-high for pulse frequency and rhythm, but low for width and force.
  • Post-refinement, agreement for frequency and rhythm improved, while width and force remained suboptimal.
  • CMPs reported good clarity but noted inefficiency; participants rated comfort and ease of use favorably.

Conclusions:

  • The APDC device is feasible for remote pulse feature assessment in TCM, enhancing tele-practice capabilities.
  • Further technological optimization is required to improve the accuracy of pulse width and force measurements.
  • The device shows potential for expanding TCM services through telemedicine, pending further development.
