Blood pressure was measured on the cubital fossa kept at heart level in the seated position on three separate occasions after 10 minutes of rest in a controlled environment using mercury manometer by
auscultatory method.
On admission, the physical examination shows a febrile patient (38.2[degrees]C) with continuous chest pain, that increases with motion, no emphysema,
auscultatory bilateral soft rough breathing sounds on a hemodynamically stable patient (blood pressure 140/90mmHg, arterial pulse 85bpm, oxygen saturation 98%).
After 5 minutes of rest in the supine position, a vascular Doppler (DV-601, Marted[R], Sao Paulo, Brazil) was placed in the tibial artery of the participants in order to obtain the
auscultatory pulse.
The
auscultatory method of Blood Pressure (B.P) measurement was used and B.P taken in rested sitting position by mercury sphygmomanometer and Littman stethoscope.
The charts of infants admitted to KEH with a diagnosis of LRTI between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015 were reviewed.* The WHO definition of LRTI used refers to an outcome definition incorporating at least one specific LRTI sign, reported by a caregiver or the study personnel (fast or difficult breathing, chest wall indrawing) and/or abnormal
auscultatory findings (crackles/ crepitations or bronchial breath sounds).
Blood pressure measurements were performed according to the recommendations included in the 2013 European Society for Hypertension/European Society for Cardiology (ESH/ESC) Guidelines concerning the procedure in the case of blood hypertension--the Working Group of the European Society for Hypertension (ESH) and European Society for Cardiology (ESC) for hypertension management [15] by means of a semi-automatic (one model)
auscultatory sphygmomanometer, at rest, when seated, on the right upper arm.
Blood pressure was measured during rest and at the end of each intensity by the indirect
auscultatory method using a sphygmomanometer (Welch Allyn Tycos, USA) and a stethoscope (Littmann, Master Cardiology, 3M, USA).
The left arm was gently extended, and the PR and B.P were recorded again by palpatory and
auscultatory method.
This edition has new material on endocrinology; the history and philosophy of medicine; orthopedics; neurologic diagnoses and traumatic brain injury; dermatology; GuarinoAEs
auscultatory percussion of the skull; hearing, the vestibular system, and intracranial hypertension; ophthalmoscopy; podiatry; and other topics.
When the subjects arrived in the laboratory, they remained at rest for 15 min to collect the following variables: (a) Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) using the
auscultatory method with results expressed in mercury millimetres (mmHg); (b) Double product (DP) (1); (c) Oximetry (MD by Rossmax, SB100, Taiwan); and (d) Lactate (ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS, Accutrend Lactate, USA).
