Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Doug - Would you please define these? I can think of a host of events that could qualify for such terms (Rough, Arhythmic and Inconsistent). Ie for arrhythmic a pulse that is irregularly irregular and one that is regularly irregular.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Will, why do you have the addendum to your emails that " this message is PRIVATE " when you are posting to a world-wide forum?

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Rough in my charts is a quality in contrast to slippery (although often contained within a slippery pulse on closer inspection), arhythmic is the tempo (and may have a modifier such as irregularily regular... etc..), and inconsistent is the (changing) amplitude. I know these are rather rudimentary distinctions but I had to start somewhere so I wouldn't always have to figure out what I meant by " choppy " in the chart the next time I saw the patient. doug , WMorris116@A... wrote: > Doug - > > Would you please define these?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Jason, believe me, I don't have any special insights into pulses. I don't mean it as a challenge but before I go through some text book diagnostics, I'm wondering if it matters what they signify? I am just trying to get to a standard " naming " process. doug , " " <@c...> wrote: > > Doug, > > Diagnostically then what do you attribute to the various kinds of choppiness > that you find? > > -Jason > > > > > [taiqi@t...] > > > > > > Rough in my charts is a quality in contrast to slippery (although often > > contained within a > > slippery pulse on closer inspection), arhythmic is the tempo (and may have > > a modifier such > > as irregularily regular... etc..), and inconsistent is the (changing) > > amplitude.

I am just trying to get to a standard " naming " process. > doug [Jason] I am with you, and I think your idea of differentiating these pulses is important, But of course the next step is to figure out what each of the differentiations actually mean clinically, and I do think it is important... This latter idea is what I have yet to see presented, but I am no pulse guru.. Does Hammer or Chen make such distinctions? -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
