Comprehensive Patient Assessment: Tests and Measurements
Importance of Combining Tests
Comprehensive Picture: Individually, the tests may not provide a clear understanding of the patient's condition. Combining them yields the best results.
Tests and Measurements
Utilising multiple tests and measurements allows for a more accurate assessment.
1. ECG Recording
12-Lead and 3-Lead: Examining the electrocardiogram (ECG) provides insights into the patient's cardiac activity.
2. SpO2 Reading
Oxygen Levels: Measuring peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) offers information about the patient's oxygen levels.
3. Pulse Rate
Manual and Machine: Assessing the pulse rate manually and comparing it to the machine reading aids in evaluating the patient's heart rate.
4. Blood Pressure
Recording: Monitoring blood pressure helps gauge the patient's cardiovascular health.
5. Blood Sugar Reading
Glucose Level: Taking a blood sugar reading provides insights into the patient's blood glucose levels.
6. Temperature
Body Temperature: Measuring the patient's temperature aids in assessing their overall health.
By combining these tests and measurements, a more comprehensive evaluation of the patient's condition can be achieved.
