Question

characteristics of pulse?

Answer 1

Ans) We can define the pulse as the wave of extension and the recall happening in one artery in reaction to the pumping activity of heart.And the pulse rate means the value of heart rate or we can say that the total number of heart beats in one minute.Checking a pulse also helps to understand the heart rhythm and also helps to understand the strength of pulse.

Some of the important characteristics of pulse are as follows:

Pulse rate- This is the figure pulse beats in a minute.Normally the pulse rate in a grown man or women will be in between 72-80 in one minute.

Rhythm- This is the time interval between each beats.And usually the time interval between each pulse beat will be same.

Tension- This is the level of compressibility and rely on the resistance of the wall or barrier of artery.

Strength- This is the completeness of artery and this is the pressure of blood perceived at every beat.

On the basis of pulse rate,the pulse are of 2 kinds; They are,

1) Tachycardia- If the relaxed pulse rate rise to the range greater than hundred beats in an minute in an grown men or women and this shows that there is abnormality in the pulse rate and this condition is known as the Tachycardia.

2) Bradycardia- If the pulse rate is lower than 60 beats in a person,then this condition is called as the bradycardia.

** Checking the pulse rate is very important to,

- Understand the alterations in the health status in a person.

- To check the total number of heart beats in a minute.

- For creating a baseline statistics.

- To understand the deformities in rhythm and rate.

- To monitor the peripheral circulation.

** Some of the important elements influencing the pulse are,

Age of the patient,Sex of the patient,BP( Blood Pressure),illness conditions,fever,severe pain and also the anxiety.
