		Peripheral pulses are symmetric and rarely of small volume unless severe LVOT obstruction is present.
		A prominent a wave in the jugular venous pulse occasionally occurs in children with SAS.
		Paradoxic splitting of the second heart sound, which suggests associated LV dysfunction, may occur in severe SAS.

		The jugular venous pulse serves as an ancillary aid to the electrocardiogram in interpreting tachyarrhythmias (vide infra).
		Pulse transit time (measured as the interval from the ECG R-wave until the arrival of the pulse pressure wave at the periphery, about 250 ms) varies inversely with blood pressure and provides a beat-to-beat estimation of blood pressure changes, thereby marking an arousal.

		Pulse Deficit: With Atrial Fibrillation + Tachycardia, the radial pulse may not be equal to the cardiac apical pulse.
		The lapse between apical and radial pulse is the pulse deficit.
		Paradoxical pulse occurs when decrease is greater than 10 mm Hg.

	Arhythmia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pericarditis may so disturb cardiac innervation as to result in an irregular heart action; while an irregular or intermittent pulse may be the first symptom to direct our attention to myocarditis, either acute or chronic myocardial degenerations are often attended by arhythmia, though a morbid condition of the cardiac ganglia may not be detected.
		In the bigeminal pulse, the first beat is usually the stronger, and in some cases is the only one felt at the wrist.
		The paradoxic pulse of Kussmal is where the beats are more frequent and feeble during inspiration than during expiration.

		Paradoxic movement of the thorax may indicate incomplete recovery from anesthesia or residual paralysis.
		Throughout the episode of laryngospasm pulse oximetry and the electrocardiogram should be monitored.
		Overnight observation with an apnea monitor, a pulse oximeter and nursing observation is necessary in any preterm infant under 60 weeks postconceptual age is considered a safe and conservative recommendation.

		However, the delay between mitral valve closure and the upstroke of the carotid pulse normally is too short to be appreciated at the bedside.
		The pulse is regular in atrioventricular dissociation; thus, the varying intensity of S1 in a patient with a regular pulse almost always suggests atrioventricular dissociation.
		Although the pulse is regular, changes in the intensity of S1 occur regularly with the alternate beats and not randomly as in atrioventricular dissociation.

		Pulse Deficit: In rapid atrial fibrillation the apical rate may be 140-170 (counting the number of LUB-DUB's), while the radial pulse may show a rate of 80 or 90.
		A widened pulse pressure is also seen in patent ductus, cyanosis, pregnancy, after exercise, high fever, severe anemia (the latter group are all expressions of a high cardiac output).
		In the neck a C wave may be seen in jugular pulse tracings: It is an extrinsic pulse transmitted from the neighboring carotid arteries and is absent in the RA.

	Hypertension
		Neck-vein distention with a prominent V-wave, a murmur of pulmonic insufficiency, and pronounced lower-extremity edema are all signs of advanced pulmonary hypertension, which is often associated with a thready systemic pulse.
		With advanced disease, right ventricular size and function are usually abnormal; paradoxic septal motion and abnormal pulmonic valve motion may be apparent by echocardiography.
		Fig.12: Same as Fig.9 showing the enlarged right atrium and ventricle separated by the straightened interventricular septum(ISV,arrow),which was paradoxical in motion,compared to the much smaller left atrium and ventricle(long axis parasternal view).

		Paradoxic pulse values are reliable indicators of severe exacerbation only if they are more than 25 mm Hg.
		Furthermore, in all patients oxygen saturation should be measured by pulse oximetry on a continuous basis in order to assess and correct hypoxemia.
		along with continuous measurement of oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry, is a critical element in assessing the degree of airway obstruction, gas exchange, and response to treatment.

		Slowing of the pulse rate has been observed in most patients given clonidine, but the drug does not alter normal hemodynamic response to exercise.
		Other studies in patients have provided evidence of a reduction in plasma renin activity and in the excretion of aldosterone and catecholamines, but the exact relationship of these pharmacologic actions to the antihypertensive effect has not been fully elucidated.
		Clonidine should be used with caution in patients with mild to moderate bradyarrhythmia such as low sinus rhythm, with disorders of cerebral or peripheral perfusion, polyneuropathy, and constipation, patients with heart failure or severe coronary heart disease.

		In the rebound effect that occurs when the head strikes the head restraint during rear-impact collision, the head actually rebounds in the forward (i.e., flexion) direction, potentially magnifying the flexion effect.
		In the Paradoxic flexion effect that occurs when the head first strikes the head restraint, if the head makes contact high on the restraint and no support for the neck is available, the inertia of the neck may allow some flexion to occur.
		Reapplication of the brake will result in additional deceleration pulse and may enhance the potential for flexion injury of the neck.

		PP initially was described by Kussmaul in 1873 after he noticed that the radial pulse disappeared on inspiration in patients with cardiac compression by pericardial contents.
		The pulse is paradoxical because it does not make sense that the pulse disappears while the heart continues to contract or because the pulse, while seeming irregular, actually waxes and wanes.
		Rhythmic reduction or loss of pulse wave of pulse oximeter occurs during inspiration.

	TRANSESOPHAGEAL ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND THE ANAESTHESIOLOGIST
		In its infancy, the main application of TEE was assessment of global left ventricular function and regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA).
		In the modern equipment, with provision of multiplaner and multifrequency probes (3.5 to7 MHz), colour flow mapping, pulse and continuous wave doppler, cine loop displays and digital image processing, now it has become possible to have same information rather of better quality than transthoracic echocardiography.
		Another advantages of TEE include the stability of the transducer and continuous recordings for extended periods of time, which are very desirable for monitoring in operation theatre.

		Normally, stroke volume following a premature ventricular complex is augmented because of an increase in left ventricular filling during the compensatory pause (Frank-Starling effect) as well as from an increase in contractility.
		This results in a large pulse pressure on arterial pulse recording.
		In patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, post-PVC contraction results in an increase in LVOT gradient (worsening of obstruction) and therefore no increase in stroke volume and no change in arterial pulse pressure.

		What's remarkable about Mayfield and this album seems to be nothing less than the cyclical emotions that make up the beats on the strong pulse of fl life.
		Curtis covers a lot of sensory ground—bitterness, ambivalent feelings, ecstasy—and he sings as both participant and observer, always managing to dip his persona in edgy, get-back funk.
