Monitoring The Patient
The best known tests that medics use to make a diagnosis are :
readings of the four standards:
1-Temperature 2 -The heart rate
(PULS)
3-Blood pressure.4-Respiratory rate .
There are 6 types for assessing the patient's health and making a diagnosis:
1-Monitoring of body functions:
includes: vital signs, bowel , bladder habits,
growth, movement,
responsiveness and the electric activity of the heart and brain.
2 -Analysis of body fluids
such as: blood, urine, spinal and brain fluid.
3 -Imaging
Generally:getting pictures of what is going on inside the
body, as x-rays, Ultrasound,
radioisotope scans, computed tomography (CT) scans, Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), Position emission tomography
(PET) scan.
4-Endoscopy the use of a flexible
viewing tube (endoscope) to look inside the
body. An endoscope has a
light and a camera, and
sometimes a tool to cut and
remove tissue
5-Biopsy The removal of
tissue samples for
examination. Tissues that
are commonly examined
include : skin, breast, lung, liver, kidney
and bone.
6-Analysis of genetic material
In cells from skin,
blood .bone narrow to look
for abnormalities
of chromosomes
and genes.
bpm:Breathe per
minuteor
beat per minuteNew

Electroencephalogram:lines on papers show the activity of the brain
Ventilator: breathing using machine
Oximeter:to give the oxidation a number
Stethoscope :instrument used to listen to the heart, lung
Pressure cuff: it’s a measurement tool for blood pressure (bp)
Diastolic: when the heart
relaxes and fills with blood
between beats
Systolic pressure:
when the heart contracts and
forces out blood
The normal
temperature
36.5-37.2
Bp(Blood pressure):
90/60- 140/90(The normal)
The heart rate: 60-100
beats per miunte
The respiration rate:
1- 12-20 breaths per minute 2-the maximum heart rate when exercising should be (220 - your age)
