Hello! I would like to ask for clarification, my clinical instructor told me that we shouldn't use our thumb when holding the bell or the diaphragm of the stethoscope since it has a pulse. Can you please help me solve my curiosity?

[@hqkuu3022]

this is right. the thumb has a pulse and it may lead to confusion causing inaccurate reading.

[@queenquisha1807]

My instructor said the same thing.

[@Leigh2904]

Put the diaphragm between your index finger and the middle finger so that you won’t be hearing your own pulse

[@hossamyasser8651]

Thanks Dr. Samantha for the well-delivered explanation!

[@lecturionursing]

[@katrinavelte2710]

So I hear soft almost silent silk sounding beats on some patients. This is where I get confused and don’t know if I count that as the systolic or that first STRONG sound. Help!

[@McCarthy1776]

I'm doing my EMT now in the fire academy. I've only gotten to try it a couple times but when I was listening to that faint pulse I didn't know whether I heard something or if it was in my head. Same kinda thing when I take a hearing test.

[@johnjohnson1313]

I cant hear my pulse in the stethoscope,can I go by the needle on meter jumping?

[@Lisa-my-friend]

Yes, but it may not be as accurate. I knew a nurse who took BP's without a stethoscope that way.

[@marklog6587]

​@Lisa-my-friendI'm sure some people are on high bp meds because of him/her lol

[@MLHealthandLife]

Was taught in MA school to NOT put your thumb on the scope, the thumb has a pulse

[@PAMELLA-d6u]

Hello my fellow professionals happy to see your comments

[@ezinnemary2139]

Ma Thanks so much. Please ma is there an my scholarship running ? Would love to come study over there 🙏🏻🥺

[@PerfectionismOne]

What if they don’t know their normal BP?

[@lecturionursing]

In such cases, healthcare professionals typically use population-based normal ranges as a reference. However, it's important to note that 'normal' blood pressure can vary from person to person, and what's considered a healthy range may differ based on individual factors such as age, gender, and medical history. Healthcare providers assess each patient's blood pressure in the context of their overall health and medical history to determine what is appropriate for them.

[@jackwalker3224]

Wdym “last beat” is diastolic. Last beat? Like what??? Are they dead

[@curtisharris2675]

No they're not dead lol the diastolic is basically when the pressure in your arteries starts to relax after each beat.

[@limitlessmamathings5472]

I was thinking the same thing actually lol

[@DehTastic]

The diastolic is when the heart is at rest. “The last beat” is when you hear the lubb dubb/pulse for the last time with the stethoscope before it goes silent. On the other hand, the standard BP is 120/80, going 30mmHg above this should be at 150mmHg on the pressure cuff. Once you reach 150 you will start to bleed the pressure from the cuff and the first lubb dubb/pulse you hear is the Systolic pressure (when the heart contracts) This will give you the desired # / # blood pressure.

[@jhodgepodge]

ask? lol! riiiiight. 110/60 have a nice day!

[@cherisej7829]

I'm still confused on how you get the diastolic.

[@lecturionursing]

Hi! 😊 To find the diastolic pressure, you slowly release the cuff pressure and listen for the point where the sound disappears. That’s the diastolic reading! Hope that helps! Don't forget to subscribe for more helpful tips! 💉📚

Should have had a split screen to show the guage.

They are Nottttt clients. They are patients

[@angelinaderpina6210]

Curious about your thoughts on that. Why do you prefer patient over client?

[@johnaeedwards]

😂😂😂😂

[@Kaytlyn-zz2kr]

I thought you weren’t supposed to put your thumb on the end of it.

[@omegacon4]

You can't hear your brachial artery pulse with a stethoscope until you inflate the air cuff and then slowly release the air pressure.

[@lecturionursing]

You're absolutely right! 👍 For accurate results, the cuff should be inflated and then deflated slowly to detect the pulse. Thanks for the helpful tip, and if you’re not subscribed yet, don’t miss out! 😊🔔

[@Lisa-my-friend]

Never hold the stethoscope with your thumb, which has a strong pulse that you may hear and throw off the reading.

[@lecturionursing]

Thank you for sharing this tip! 😊 You’re absolutely right-holding the stethoscope with your thumb can indeed interfere with an accurate reading. 👍 Remember to subscribe for more helpful nursing insights! 🩺💉

[@Lynn.aisha1776]

He has strong RBF! 😂

[@Autumn_20451]

Yeah still makes no sense. I'm only in 11th grade. My trade school teacher wanted us to buy one but if it doesn't make sense I'm not

[@гига-нигга]

Are you in medical classes? You'll need one for school if you pursue the field. You can get a sphyg and BP cuff for like $60

[@VitalHD]

Don’t see how it doesn’t make sense. You pump it up above their baseline, let out air so the dial slowly drops. You’ll hear a pulse and the number on the dial is your systolic, that pulse will go away that number is your diastolic.

[@dcfunniestkids8528]

You won’t know unless you work in or is school for nursing

[@soltrooper]

It makes perfect sense, you just have to get a hang of it. I hope you got a hang of it 😀

[@RobertParousJr]

brandon looks bored

[@DeaneCorlett-Aspell]

Hello you don’t put your thumb over your stethoscope when doing manual bp because your thumb has a pulse Except from that grate explosion

[@lecturionursing]

Hi @DeaneCorlett-Aspell ! Great catch! 👍 You’re absolutely right-placing your thumb on the stethoscope can interfere with the reading due to the pulse. Thanks for pointing that out, and if you found the video helpful, don’t forget to subscribe for more nursing tips! 😊📚

[@danigurl748]

Hello! I would like to ask for clarification, my clinical instructor told me that we shouldn't use our thumb when holding the bell or the diaphragm of the stethoscope since it has a pulse. Can you please help me solve my curiosity?

[@Coovnado]

Your teacher is correct! If you hold ur thumb against your pointer finger you can feel your thumbs pulse, that’s why you don’t use your thumb on the stethoscope so it doesn’t interfere w the patients reading.
