BODY TEMPERATURE
The balance between heat loss and heat production
Core
From inside the body
Surface
From outside the body
Conduction
From one molecule to another of lower temp.
Convection
Dispersion of heat by AIR CURRENT
Evaporation
Vaporization of moisture Insensible fluid loss
Circadian Rhythm
4-6 PM HIGHEST. 4-6 AM LOWEST
DISADVANTAGE May brake if bitten Smoking and food may alter the result Could injure the mouth following surgery
RECTAL
Inconvenient and Reliable measurement uncomfortable Could injure the rectum Not recommended for pt with brain and heart disorder. Safe and Noninvasive Needs long time to measure
AXILLARY
TYMPANIC
Conversion
Celsius to Fahrenheit.
C= (Fahrenheit 32) 5/9 Ex: 100OF C= (100-32) x 5/9 = (68) x 5/9 = 37.8OC
PULSE
Wave of blood due to heart contraction Compliance- elasticity of the blood vessel
Rhythm
Equality of beats and intervals between beats Dysrhythmias Arrhythmia
Inhalation
Diaphragm contracts (flattens) Ribs move upward and outward Sternum moves outward Enlarging the size of the thorax
Exhalation
Diaphragm relaxes Ribs move downward and inward Sternum moves inward Decreasing the size of the thorax
Chemoreceptors
Medulla Carotid and aortic bodies
Depth
Normal Deep Shallow
Effectiveness
Uptake and transport of O2 Transport and elimination of CO2
Quality
Effort Sounds
Breathing Pattern
Rate
Eupnea Tachypnea Bradypnea
Volume
Hyperventilation Hypoventilation
Ease or Comfort
Dyspnea Orthopnea
Diastolic
Ventricles are at rest Lower pressure present at all times
Korotkoffs Sounds
Korotkoffs Sounds
Phase 1
First faint, clear tapping or thumping sounds Systolic pressure
Phase 2
Muffled, whooshing, or swishing sound
Korotkoffs Sounds
Phase 3
Blood flows freely Crisper and more intense sound Thumping quality but softer than in phase 1
Phase 4
Muffled and have a soft, blowing sound
Phase 5
Pressure level when the last sound is heard Period of silence Diastolic pressure
